Involuntary

Under conscious control

Non-fatiguing

Only found in chambers of the heart

Involuntary

Under conscious control

slow speed of contraction

fatiguing

Helps blood travel through blood vessels

Helps heart contract

Helps food travel through digestive system

Attaches to muscles and allows movement

the muscle that support the agonists.

the muscle that works in opposition to the agonist.

the muscle that stabilises the joint stopping any unwanted movement at the origin.

the contracting muscle responsible for causing movement.

The bicep is the agonist/contracts (1)

to lift the weight/flex the arm at the elbow (1)

the triceps are the antagonist/relax (1)

to allow the  contraction of the agonist/bicep (1)

The tricep is the agonist/contracts (1)

to lift the weight/flex the arm at the elbow (1)

the biceps are the antagonist/relax (1)

to allow the  contraction of the agonist/tricep (1)

The bicep is the agonist/relaxes (1)

to lift the weight/flex the arm at the elbow (1)

the triceps are the antagonist/contracts (1)

to allow the  contraction of the agonist/bicep (1)

Fixators contract isometrically (1) by  stabilising the (origin) of the agonist/muscle (1) they help support the agonist to carry out the function by stopping unwanted movement/carry out the movement (1)

Contract concentrically (1) helps support the agonist (1) cause movement at a joint (1)

Contract eccentrically (1) by stabilising the (origin) of the agonist/muscle (1) they help support the agonist to carry out the function by stopping unwanted movement/carry out the movement (1)

when a muscle lengthens under tension.

muscle contractions that do not create movement whilst under tension.

when a muscle shortens under tension. 

Sometimes known as the negative phase of a muscle contraction.

an increase in muscle mass - increase in power and strength of muscles

a decrease in muscle mass - decrease in power and strength of muscles

a muscular disease.

a type of muscular contraction.

is an involuntary sustained skeletal muscular contraction/spasm (1) which prevents muscle movement (1) which occurs due to dehydration/a lack of electrolytes/salt

is an voluntary sustained skeletal muscular contraction (1) which allows muscle movement (1) which occurs due to weeks of training
