What is a Dendrite?
Where sag, trans, frontal planes meet
What is COG (mass)?
Covers the entire skeletal muscle
What is Epimysium?
Contains neuron cell bodies
What is Grey Matter?
Close, area of extremity closer to attachment
What is proximal?
Sites of muscle attachment
What is bones, cartilages and connective tissue coverings?
Protected by membranes & the cranium or skull
What is the brain?
With movement, body rotates around an axis of rotation that passes through a joint to which it is attached
What is Reference Axes?
Association site of nerve and muscle
