TYPES OF MUSCLE CELLS
This muscle cell type is only found in the heart.
What are cardiac muscle cells?
This is the largest muscle found in the human body.
What is the gluteus maximus?
What is a tendon?
This happens when you don't move your muscles for a long time.
What is atrophy?
Carries oxygen & nutrients to your muscles.
What is the blood?
These are "stripes" found in muscle fibers particularly skeletal and some in cardiac muscle cells.
What are striations?
This is the strongest muscle found in the human body.
What is the masseter?
This organelle found in the muscle cell, gives the cell it's necessary energy.
What is the mitochondria?
This is a partial contraction of the muscle.
What is muscle tone?
This disease can cause "lockjaw" affecting the jaw muscle.
What is tetanus?
This muscle cell type can be found in blood vessels and the stomach.
What are smooth muscle cells?
This is the smallest muscle found in the human body.
What is the stapedius?
What muscles need to grow.
What is protein & exercise?
Muscles which open the joints wider.
What are extensor muscles?
The percentage of your body weight that accounts for muscle.
What is 40%?
These are the muscle cell types that are involuntary.
What are cardiac and smooth muscle cells?
This is the strongest tendon found in the human body.
What is the Achilles tendon?
What muscles need to help them move.
What is glucose, oxygen, vitamins, & minerals?
Muscles which close the joints.
What are flexor muscles?
What the acronym REM stands for.
What is Rapid Eye Movement?
This muscle cell type is voluntary and has striations.
What are skeletal muscle cells?
These group of muscles are the most active in the human body.
What are the muscles that control the eye?
A growth in the number of these = a growth in muscle size.
What are myofibrils?
These muscles work together to make a joint bend or straighten. When one set of muscles contract, the other set relaxes. Think biceps & triceps.
What are antagonistic muscles?
What is reflexive action?
