Which type of muscle tissue has the greatest effect on the body’s heat production?
skeletal
cardiac
smooth
All of these muscle types have about the same effect on the body’s heat production.
skeletal
Muscle tissue, one of the four basic tissue groups, consists chiefly of cells that are highly specialized for contraction. conduction. cushioning. secretion. peristalsis.
contraction
Which of the following is a recognized function of skeletal muscle? guard body entrances and exits produce movement maintain body temperature maintain posture All of the answers are correct.
All of the answers are correct.
The capillaries that wrap around each muscle fiber are located within the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. sarcolemma epimysium perimysium endomysium
endomysium
Muscles are attached to bones by tendons or \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. perimysium superficial fascia ligaments aponeuroses
aponeuroses
A thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds a muscle fascicle is called the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. epimysium tendon endomysium perimysium
perimysium
At each end of the muscle, the collagen fibers of the epimysium, and each perimysium and endomysium, come together to form a ligament. tenosynovium. sheath. tendon. satellite cell.
tendon.
The dense layer of connective tissue that surrounds an entire skeletal muscle is the tendon. fascicle. perimysium. endomysium. epimysium.
epimysium.
The bundle of collagen fibers at the end of a skeletal muscle that attaches the muscle to bone is called a(n) fascicle. epimysium. ligament. tendon. myofibril.
tendon.
