26. Motor Unit - ANS ✓A motor neuron and all of the muscle
fibers it innervates
27. Neurotransmitters - ANS ✓Chemical messengers that cross
the neuromuscular junction (synapse) to transmit electrical impulses
from the nerve to the muscle
28. Type 1 Muscle Fibers - ANS ✓slow-twitch, smaller and slower
to produce maximal tension, more resistant to fatigue.

during movement
33. Antagonist Muscle - ANS ✓muscle that performs opposite
action of the prime mover
34. Endocrine System - ANS ✓Glands secrete hormones that
regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use
(metabolism) by body cells.
