what is the immovable part of the skeletal muscle called
origin
what attaches one muscle to another
tendons
what connective tissue joined two skeletal muscle fibres together
fasciculus
muscle fibre consists of smaller units called
fibrils
the fibrils of skeletal muscles contain specialized cytoplasm called?…and are enclosed by a membrane called???
sarcoplasm……sarcolemma
how does contraction occur in skeletal muscles ????
The actin filament slides in between the myosin filament. Such action shortens the sarcomere and brings about contraction

sarcomere
skeletal muscles are inverted by????
Voluntary nervous system
smooth muscles are also called
unstriated…..unstripped…plain…..involuntary muscles
smooth muscles are inverted by what form of the nervous system???
autonomic nervous system
examples of smooth muscles
