  1. 4. type of muscle that makes up the heart containing striations made up of intercalated discs with adhering junctions and desmosomes
  2. 5. important for communication between the nervous system and position of the muscle
  3. 7. allow for communication between cells in smooth and cardiac muscle fibers
  4. 8. type of muscle structure with fibers running at an angle relative to the tendons of that muscle ie: rectus femoris
  5. 10. smallest contractile unit of skeletal muscle
Down
  1. 1. the main goal of muscle that is accomplished by actin and myosin proteins to create a force for movement
  2. 2. muscle structure fibers run parallel with the long axis of a muscle ie: biceps brachii
  3. 3. type of muscle structure that is arranged in concentric rings ie: sphincters
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 9. type of muscle often found in sheets or as individual cells that encircle hollow organs and are thin/wavy in histological appearance
