Across
- 7. has the slowest contraction speed of the three muscle types
- 8. protein chains responsible for muscle contraction
- 9. shape of cardiac muscle fibers
- 11. characteristic of skeletal muscle only, meaning it beats at a set pace
- 12. a muscle cell
- 14. characteristic of skeletal muscle meaning there is more than one nucleus per cell
- 16. where you find smooth muscle
- 17. the only place where you find cardiac muscle
Down
- 1. a structure seen only in cardiac muscle where two fibers join together
- 2. shorten
- 3. describes the contraction of cardiac and smooth muscle, meaning they contract not under conscious control
- 4. attach skeletal muscle to the skeleton
- 5. describes the contraction of skeletal muscle meaning you consciously decide to contract them
- 6. visible banding on muscle fibers
- 10. shape of skeletal muscle fibers
- 13. shape of smooth muscle fibers
- 15. where skeletal muscle attaches
