Name
the muscle
the muscle
Muscle that allows you to bend your arm.
What is Biceps Brachii
What type of muscle is designed to repeatably contract without tiring.
What are cardiac muscle.
This is the term for the ability of muscle fibers to shorten and generate force.
What is muscle contraction?
This is the term for the fibrous tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone.
What is a tendon?
This is the largest muscle in the human body, located in the booty cheeks
What is the gluteus maximus?
Muscles that allow you to extend your arm.
What is Triceps brachii
What muscles are attached to the skeleton and are used for voluntary movement.
What are skeletal muscles
This type of muscle movement happens when muscles contract and cause bones to move around joints.
What is voluntary movement?
These are the long, cylindrical cells that make up skeletal muscles.
What are muscle fibers?
This intricate biochemical process involves the conversion of glucose into pyruvate, which is subsequently metabolized into lactic acid in the absence of oxygen, typically in fast-twitch muscle fibers.
What is anaerobic glycolysis?
The two muscles which pull the upper legs downward and backward.
What is Gluteus maximus
What are muscles found in the walls of internal organs, such as the intestines and blood vessels. They are non-striated and involuntary.
What are smooth muscles
When the bicep muscle contracts to bend the arm, this action is known as flexion. Its opposite action, extending the arm, is called this.
What is extension?
This type of muscle tissue is found in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood.
What is cardiac muscle?
This physiological phenomenon occurs when the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions into the cytosol, initiating the interaction between actin and myosin filaments in the muscle fibers.
What is excitation-contraction coupling?
A group of three muscles in the back of each thigh, they work together to bend the leg at the knee.
What is hamstrings
What is one place cardiac muscles are found.
What is in the heart
This type of muscle movement involves turning a body part, like rotating the head to the side.
What is rotation?
This is the protein in muscle fibers that forms cross-bridges to help create contraction.
What is myosin?
The specialized organelle found in muscle fibers that is responsible for maintaining a high concentration of calcium ions, which are essential for muscle contraction.
What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
A muscle that extends diagonally downward from the front of the pelvic bone.
What is Sartorius
Name one place smooth muscles are found.
What is the bladder
This movement refers to the raising of the arms or legs, like lifting the arms overhead in a jumping jack.
What is elevation?
This part of the muscle attaches to the bone that moves when the muscle contracts.
What is the insertion?
This protein, integral to muscle contraction, interacts with myosin during the sliding filament theory to facilitate the shortening of the sarcomere in skeletal muscle fibers.
What is tropomyosin?
