What does the orbicularis do?
Raise Eyebrows
How many Adductor Muscles do we have?
2
What tissues are voluntary?
Skeletal muscle
What causes filaments to slide?
When muscle fibers are activated by the nervous system, cross bridges attach to myosin binding sites on thin filaments, and the sliding begins
Summarize each disease/condition
Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and Myasthenia gravis
Muscular Dystrophy- A group of inherited muscles- that destroy diseases that specific muscle groups, the muscle enlarge due to fat and connective tissue, but the muscle fibers degenerate and atrophy
Duchenne muscular Dystrophy- Most common and serious form. This disease progress relentlessly from the extremities upward, finally affecting the head and chest muscles.
Myasthenia Gravis- A disease, drooping of the upper eyelids, difficulty in swallowing, and talking, and muscle weakness and fatigability
What is the nickname for the Orbicularis oculi?
The kissing muscle
Locate the muscle that abducts the thigh

What tissues Striated?
Cardiac muscle and Skeletal muscle
The diffusion of what ions move out of the cell?
Potassium ions (K+)
What are the two ways graded muscle contractions can be produced?
By changing the speed of muscle stimulation and by changing the number of muscle cells being stimulated.
What muscle extends the hip?
Gluteus Maximum
Name the 2 muscles within the Quadriceps group.
Rectus Femoris
Vastus Muscles
What is the function of muscle tissue?
Contraction or shortening
What happens when action potential ends?
Calcium ions are immediately reabsorbed into storage areas, and the muscle cell relaxes and settles back to its original length.
What are the two filaments found in the muscle?
Actin and Myosin
What muscles flex the wrist and abducts the hand?
Flexor Carpi Radialis
Name the 3 muscles in the hamstring group.

Semitendinosus
Semimembranosus
Where is smooth muscle found in the body?
Found in the walls of visceral organs
(stomach, urinary bladder, and bronchi of the lungs)
What travels over the entire surface of the sarcolemma and is unstoppable?
Action potential
What does the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum release?
Calcium
What does External Oblique do?
Flexes vertebral column
Locate the Extensor Digitorum

What special junctions are cardiac cells joined by?
Intercalated disk
What happens to acetylcholine during action potential?
Its broken down by enzymes present on the sarcolemma.
What is it called when a muscle is stimulated so rapidly that no relaxation is seen and the contractions become completely smooth and sustained?
Tetanus
