The main muscle in your forearm that flexes your elbow
What is Brachioradialis?
What thick filaments are composed of
What is myosin?
What is the mitochondria?
The only muscle that is nonstriated in appearance
What is the Smooth Muscle?
The ability to stretch a muscle without damaging its tissue
What is extensibility?
The posterior muscle in the calf that flexes the knee and foot
What is Gastrocnemius?
How thin fliaments made of actin are held in place
What is a Z line?
TWO type of myofilaments (also proteins)
What is actin AND myosin
This muscle type can attach to bones and skin
What is the skeletal muscle?
The property of muscles the sends electrical signals to make voluntary movements
What is conductivity?
Also known as your abs, these muscles covering your anterior chest area
What is the recuts abdominus?
The protein help in place by M lines
What is myosin?
Cylindrical structures that carry out contraction
What is myofibril?
The type of muscle primarily found in your hair follicles
What is smooth muscle?
one of the main functions of muscles, allowing your body to function and have involuntary/voluntary actions
What is body movements?

What are the deltoids?
The TWO proteins which control contraction (on/off)
What is troponin AND tropomyosin?

What is a sarcomere length?
The muscle autorhythmic, despite not being found in blood vessels
What is cardiac muscle?
Involuntary contractions of the skeletal muscle that cause you to shiver/throb (Function)
What is heat production?
The second main muscle in the leg, still being located in the thighs
What is the sartorius?
The protein that has a vital role in recovery of a stretched muscle
What is titin?
A transport system that runs perpendicular to the to the filaments
What are transverse tubules?
You have to physically want to move this muscle for it to contract and relax, cannot be controlled on its own
What is the skeletal muscle?
How well a muscle responds to chemicals released from nerves
