Across
  1. 2. The term given to the muscle that is attached to the immovable bone
  2. 5. The group of three muscles responsible for flexion of the knee
  3. 9. spinae The muscle responsible for extension of the vertebral column
  4. 10. The large diamond shape muscle responsible for horizontal extension of the shoulder
  5. 11. The muscle responsible for horizontal flexion of the shoulder
  6. 12. The term given to the muscle that is attached to the movable bone
  7. 13. The term given to the muscle that lengthens whilst under tension during the contraction
  8. 14. dorsi The muscle responsible for adduction of the arms
  9. 16. anterior The muscle responsible for dorsi flexion
  10. 18. The muscle responsible for flexion of the vertebral column
  11. 22. The term given to the muscle that assists the prime mover to ensure the movement is smooth
  12. 23. The muscle responsible for flexion of the elbow
  13. 24. The term given when the contraction involves no change in muscle length
  14. 26. The group of four muscles responsible for extension of the knee
Down
  1. 1. The term given to the muscle that stabilises the origin of the agonist muscle so that it can move efficiently
  2. 3. The term given to the main muscle that is responsible for the contraction. Also known as the prime mover
  3. 4. The main muscle responsible for plantarflexion
  4. 6. This type of muscle fibre has a high capillary and myoglobin density making it suited to endurance activities
  5. 7. The muscle responsible for extension of the hip
  6. 8. The term given to a muscle that shortens whilst under tension during the contraction
  7. 10. The muscle responsible for extension of the elbow
  8. 15. This is the largest in diameter of the muscle fibre types and is therefore the most powerful
  9. 17. The collective term for both shortening and lengthening the muscle in a contraction
  10. 19. The muscle responsible for abduction of the arms
  11. 20. A muscle found in the lower leg that aids in plantar flexion
  12. 21. The muscle responsible for relaxing/lengthening during the contraction to allow the desired movement
  13. 25. This type of muscle fibre has moderate power and endurance capabilities
