1.

Synergistic muscles

a)

movement is produced when one muscle of the pair contracts and the other relaxes

ex. bicep curl

b)

muscles that must contract at the same time to cause movement

ex. walking

the end attached to the bone that remains relatively stationary during movement

d)

the end attached to the bone that moves

2.

antagonsitic muscles

a)

movement is produced when one muscle of the pair contracts and the other relaxes

the end attached to the bone that moves

3.

origin of a muscle

ex. bicep curl

b)

muscles that must contract at the same time to cause movement

ex. walking

c)

the end attached to the bone that remains relatively stationary during movement

d)

the end attached to the bone that moves

4.

insertion of a muscle

a)

movement is produced when one muscle of the pair contracts and the other relaxes

ex. bicep curl

b)

muscles that must contract at the same time to cause movement

ex. walking

c)

the end attached to the bone that remains relatively stationary during movement

5.

This characteristic of a muscle responds to stimuli

(a)  

6.

This characteristic of a muscle shortens

(a)  

7.

This characteristic of a muscle stretches

(a)  

8.

This characteristic of a muscle can return to their original length after being shortened or stretched

(a)  

9.

This muscle is found throughout the body, has striations, and is voluntary

(a)  

10.

This muscle is limted to the heart, has striations, and is involuntary

(a)  

11.

This muscle is found with in the intestines and surrounding blood vessels, has no striations, and is involuntary

(a)  

12.

Functions of skeletal muscles

a)

moving our body and maintaining posture

b)

stores fat and creates red blood cells

c)

supporting internal organs and generating heat

d)

removes nitrogenous wastes

e)

pushing against veins and lymphatic vessels to move blood and lymph along

13.

(a)   muscles that contract at the same time to cause movement

14.

(a)   muscles - movement is produced when one muscle pair contracts and the other relaxes

15.

(a)   of a muscle - the end attached to the bone that remains relatively stationary during movement

16.

(a)   of a muscle - the end attached to the bone that moves

17.

How is a tendon different from a ligament?

(a)   holds muscle to bone while the other holds bone to bone

18.

(a)   - twitch: designed for endurance, contracts slowly and is sustained

19.

(a)   - twitch: designed for a rapid response, contractions are short and powerful

20.

(a)   - the condition of having an inflamed tendon; caused by overuse, misuse, and age; heals slowly due to poor blood supply; treatment is rest

21.

(a)   - AKA muscle strain or tear; caused by overstretching that damages the muscle or tendon; treatment includes ice to reduce swelling and keeping the muscle stretched

22.
