Anaerobic Respiration
Occurs with oxygen; produces 36 ATP and carbon dioxide
Occurs without oxygen; produces 2 ATP and lactic acid
Occurs in the presence of light; produces glucose and oxygen
Occurs in the mitochondria; produces 38 ATP and water
Soleus
Calf muscle beneath gastrocnemius; also plantar flexes foot
Muscle located in the upper arm; responsible for elbow flexion
Muscle in the thigh; responsible for knee extension
Muscle in the abdomen; responsible for trunk rotation
Muscular System Functions
Produces movement, maintains posture, stabilizes joints, and generates heat
Regulates blood pressure and heart rate
Facilitates nutrient absorption in the intestines
Supports immune function and hormone production
Rectus Abdominis
Abdominal muscle; flexes trunk
Muscle that extends the leg
Muscle that rotates the torso
Muscle that stabilizes the shoulder

Protraction
Moving a body part backward (e.g., jaw or shoulders)
Moving a body part upward (e.g., jaw or shoulders)
Moving a body part forward (e.g., jaw or shoulders)
Moving a body part sideways (e.g., jaw or shoulders)
Actin
Thin filament in the sarcomere
Thick filament in the sarcomere
Protein involved in muscle contraction
Component of the cytoskeleton
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Organelle that stores and transmits calcium in muscle fibers
Structure responsible for protein synthesis in cells
Cell membrane surrounding muscle fibers
Organelle involved in energy production
Krebs Cycle
Anaerobic process that produces glucose in the cytoplasm
Aerobic process that produces ATP in mitochondria
Process that occurs only in prokaryotic cells
Pathway that generates lactic acid in muscle cells
Gastrocnemius
Calf muscle; plantar flexes foot
Thigh muscle; extends knee
Shoulder muscle; abducts arm
Back muscle; rotates torso
M-line
Center of the sarcomere where myosin anchors
End of the sarcomere where actin is located
Region where calcium ions are stored
Boundary between two sarcomeres
ATP
Energy source required for muscle contraction
A type of protein

A vitamin essential for metabolism
Biaxial Joint
Joint that allows movement in one plane (e.g., hinge joint)
Joint that allows movement in three planes (e.g., ball-and-socket joint)
Joint that allows movement in two planes (e.g., saddle, condylar)
Joint that does not allow any movement (e.g., fibrous joint)
Inversion

Abduction
Movement towards the body’s midline in the coronal plane
Movement away from the body’s midline in the coronal plane
Movement in a circular motion around a joint
Movement of a limb backward in the sagittal plane
Dorsiflexion
Lifting the front of the foot upward toward the shin
Bending the knee backward
Rotating the foot outward
Pointing the toes downward
Quadriceps Group
Back of thigh; flexes knee
Front of thigh; extends knee
