Muscular system

antagonistic pairs

• two muscles which work in opposing directions to one another

• striated muscle found in the heart

• the process used to convert glucose and oxygen into a useable form of energy called ATP

• when the muscle becomes shorter and thicker

cardiac muscle

• two muscles which work in opposing directions to one another

• striated muscle found in the heart

• the process used to convert glucose and oxygen into a useable form of energy called ATP

• when the muscle becomes shorter and thicker

cellular respiration

• two muscles which work in opposing directions to one another

• striated muscle found in the heart

• the process used to convert glucose and oxygen into a useable form of energy called ATP

• when the muscle becomes shorter and thicker

contraction

• two muscles which work in opposing directions to one another

• striated muscle found in the heart

• the process used to convert glucose and oxygen into a useable form of energy called ATP
