Chapter 10 (Muscular Tissue)

Question 1

Types of Muscular Tissue

Answer 1

Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth

Question 2

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Answer 2

Most skeletal muscles move bones

Skeletal muscle tissue is striated

Question 3

Striated Skeletal Muscle Tissue

Answer 3

Alternating light and dark bands (striations) as seen when examined with a microscope

Question 4

Skeletal muscles are controlled

Answer 4

Consciously or Subconsciously (Diaphragm)

Question 5

Cardiac Muscle Tissue

Found only in the walls of the heart
Striated like skeletal muscle
Action is involuntary

Question 6

Actions of the Cardiac Muscle Tissue

Answer 6

Contraction and relaxation of the heart is not consciously controlled
Contraction of the heart is initiated by a node of tissue called the “pacemaker”

Question 7

Smooth Muscle Tissue

Answer 7

Located in the walls of hollow internal structures
Lacks the striations of skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue
Usually involuntary

Question 8
