Muscular System Test

Front

What does the term 'contractible' mean in relation to muscles?

Back

It refers to the property of muscles that allows them to shorten and generate force.

Front

How does the muscular system interact with the skeletal system?

Back

The muscular system works directly with the skeletal system to facilitate body movement through muscle contractions that pull on bones.

Front

What is the definition of 'rotation' in muscle movement?

Back

Rotation is a type of muscle movement where a body part turns around its own axis.

Front

What does 'extensible' mean in the context of muscle properties?

Back

Extensible refers to the ability of muscles to be stretched without being damaged.

Front

Which muscle movements are considered voluntary?

Back

Voluntary muscle movements are those that are consciously controlled, such as moving arms or legs.

Front

What is an example of an involuntary muscle movement?

Front

What are the three types of muscle tissue in the human body?

Back

The three types of muscle tissue are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.

Front

What is the primary function of skeletal muscles?

Back

The primary function of skeletal muscles is to facilitate voluntary movement of the body.

Front

How do muscles generate movement?

Back

Muscles generate movement by contracting and pulling on bones, which creates motion at the joints.

Front

What role do tendons play in the muscular system?

Back

Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing the force generated by muscles to be transferred to the skeletal system.
