- 5. important for communication between the nervous system and position of the muscle
- 7. allow for communication between cells in smooth and cardiac muscle fibers

Down
- 1. the main goal of muscle that is accomplished by actin and myosin proteins to create a force for movement
- 2. muscle structure fibers run parallel with the long axis of a muscle ie: biceps brachii
- 3. type of muscle structure that is arranged in concentric rings ie: sphincters
- 4. type of muscle structure with fibers arranged in a broad flat pattern from the origin to its insertion as a single tendon ie: pectoralis major
- 6. type of muscle that are long and multinucleated that appear as circular cells placed in bundles of fascicles surrounded by a perimysium and inside contain a endomysium
- 9. type of muscle often found in sheets or as individual cells that encircle hollow organs and are thin/wavy in histological appearance
