What are the 4 properties of muscle tissue? - ANSWER: excitability, contractility,
extensibility, elasticity
What are the types of muscular tissue? - ANSWER: skeletal, cardiac, smooth
What is the function of skeletal muscle? - ANSWER: movement of bones, posture
What is the function of cardiac muscle? - ANSWER: pump blood throughout the
body
What is the function of smooth muscle? - ANSWER: contraction
What are connective tissue components? - ANSWER: epimysium, perimysium,
endomysium
Fibers found in connective tissue - ANSWER: collagen, elastic, reticular
function of connective tissue - ANSWER: bind, support, protect, fill spaces, store
fat, produce blood cells
skeletal muscle - ANSWER: striated and voluntary
, 2|Pag e
cardiac muscle - ANSWER: Involuntary muscle tissue found only in the heart, and
striated
smooth muscle - ANSWER: Involuntary muscle found inside many internal
organs of the body, and no striations
sliding filament theory - ANSWER: theory that actin filaments slide toward each
other during muscle contraction, while the myosin filaments are still
twitch contraction - ANSWER: the brief contraction of all the muscle fibers in a
motor unit in response to a single action potential in its motor neuron
frequency of stimulation - ANSWER: the higher the frequency, the greater the
force
isotonic contraction - ANSWER: muscle shortens because muscle tension exceeds
load
isometric contraction - ANSWER: Muscle contracts but there is no movement,
muscle stays the same length
origin - ANSWER: attachment to stationary bone
Insertion - ANSWER: attachment to movable bone
lever system - ANSWER: Consists of a lever (bone), effort (muscle action),
resistance (weight of object to be moved), and fulcrum (joint).
