anatomy part 2 (muscles)

3 types of muscle tissue

contain connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels

• Perimysium

• Epimysium

• Skeletal Muscles

• cardiac muscle

Move the skeleton, maintain posture and body position, support soft tissues, guard entrances and exits, maintain body temperature

• Functions of the skeletal system

• Functions of the cardiac system

each skeletal muscle cell is called

• connected

• fiber

• tissue

• membrane

covers the entire muscle

divides the muscle into fascicles or bundles of muscle fibers

covers each muscle fiber and ties fibers together; contains capillaries and nerve fibers

bundle of fivers; attaches muscle to bone

broad sheet of fibers; connect muscles to each other

Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control and require stimulation by

• thin filaments

• actins

• central nervous system

• muscle fibers
