How did Juan’s focus on skeletal muscle training overlook his needs for

cardiac muscle fitness?

Why is the coordination between cardiac output and skeletal muscle

performance so crucial?

Which muscle type is primarily responsible for peristalsis in the digestive

tract?

• Skeletal muscle

• Cardiac muscle

• Smooth muscle

• Mixed skeletal and smooth

Which muscle tissue has intercalated discs that help synchronize

contractions?

• Smooth muscle

• Skeletal muscle

• Cardiac muscle

• Smooth and cardiac combined

Skeletal muscle fibers can be described as:

• Involuntary with multiple nuclei

• Voluntary and striated

• Involuntary and smooth

•  Located solely in the heart

Match each term to its description

• Smooth muscle 

• Structures in cardiac muscle that enable cell-to-cell

  conduction

• Tendon 

• Functional unit of striated muscle fibers

• Multiple nuclei 

• Typical feature of skeletal muscle cells

• Sarcomere 

• Connective tissue linking muscle to bone

• Intercalated

  discs

• Involuntary muscle found in blood vessels
