Muscle tissues
Have narrow cylindrical fibers, nonstriated, and uninucleate
Found in the walls of internal organs
What is smooth muscle?
What is elasticity?
Dense irregular connective tissue wrapping whole muscle
What is epimysium?
Resistance between fulcrum and effort (FRE)
What is second class lever?
Striated, branched, generally uninucleated fibers
found in walls of heart
What is cardiac tissue?
ability to respond to a stimulus by changing electrical membrane potential
What is excitability?
dense irregular connective tissue wrapping fascicle, houses many blood vessels and nerves
What is perimysium?
Has fulcrum in the middle between effort and resistance (EFR)
What is first class lever?
Striated, multinucleated, attached to skeleton, voluntary
What is skeletal tissue?
exhibited when filaments slide past each other
What is contractility?
areolar connective tissue wrapping individual fiber, delicate layer for electrical insulation, capillary support, binding of neighboring cells
What is endomysium?
Effort between the resistance and the fulcrum (REF)
What is third class lever?
Body movement, maintenance of posture, protection and support, regulating eleimnation of materials, heat production
What are functions of skeletal muscle?
Involves sending an electrical charge down the length of the cell membrane
What is conductivity?
Cordlike structure of dense regular connective tissue
What is tendon?
occipital joint lies between the muscles on the back of the neck and the weight of the face
What is atlanto?
Muscle fibers bundled together
What is fascicles?
ability to be stretched
What is extensibility?
areolar and adipose CT superficial to deep fascia, separates muscles from skin
What is superficial fascia?
any elongated, rigid object that rotates around a fixed point called a fulcrum
What is lever?
