Skeletal muscle - an organ specialized for contraction, composed of striated muscle fibers (cells), supported by connective tissue, attached to bone by a tendon or aponeurosis, and stimulated by somatic motor neurons Sarcomere - any of the repeating structural units of striated muscle Sliding filament mechanism - the explanation of how thick and thin filaments slide relative to one another during striated muscle contract to decrease sarcomere length Insertion - the attachment of a muscle t...

3 Distinct Types of Muscle correct answers 1. Skeletal muscle ~ 40% BW, has striated, tubular multinucleated fibers, usually attached to skeleton, voluntary 2. Smooth muscle- narrow, atpered rod shaped cells, nonstriated, uninucleated fibers, occurs in the walls of internal organs and blood vessles, involuntary 3. Cardiac muscle (smooth + cardiac= 10% BW) - striated, tubular, branches, uninucleated fibers, occurs in the walls of the heart, involuntary Muscle is an excitable contractil...
