What are the types of muscles?
|
The types of muscles are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
|
|
What are the characteristica of Skeletal muscle?
|
Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntary.
|
|
What are the characteristics of Smooth muscle?
|
Smooth muscle is NOT striated and is involuntary.
|
|
What are the characteristics of Cardiac muscle?
|
Cardiac muscle is striated and is involuntary.
|
|
Define Fascia.
|
Fascia: Layers of connective tissue that seperate individual skeletal muscles and hold in place, seperates the whole muscle from another whole muscle.
|
|
What are tendons?
|
Tendons are cords that attach muscles to bone.
|
|
What is the aponeuroses?
|
Aponeuroses is a sheet of connective tissues that attach a muscle to another muscle.
|
|
Where is the Epimysium located?
|
The epimysium surrounds the entire muscle and is right under the fascia.
|
|
What is the perimysium?
|
The perimysium is an extension of the epimysium...it extends inward and divides the muscle into compartments. (this is the first stage of compartmentalizing)
|
|
What are compartments created by the perimysium called?
|
The compartments created by the perimysium are called Fascicles.
|
|
Where do muscle come from?
|
'Out of the fascicles' comes the muscle fibers.
|
|
What are the muscle fibers surrounded by?
|
These muscles fibers are surrounded by the endomysium and binds each set to its neighbor.
|
