Chapter 8 Part 1 Flashcards
Shortens the muscles and causes movement
Isotonic
Slight, constant contraction during consciousness
Tone
Increases muscle tension but no movement occurs
Isometric
Continuous sustained contraction allowing smooth movement
Tetnus
“Stair step” increase in contraction with repeated stimulation before muscle has completely relaxed
Wave
Multinucleated muscle tissue
Skeletal
Muscle tissue found in blood vessels and stomach
Smooth
Voluntary muscle tissue
Skeletal
Muscle tissue branched with intercalated discs
Cardiac
Spindle-shaped muscle tissue
Smooth
Muscle tissue that is cylindrical in shape and is un branched
Skeletal
Muscle tissues that are striated
Skeletal
Cardiac
Muscle tissues that are involuntary
Cardiac
Smooth
Muscle tissue found in the heart
Cardiac
Muscle tissue that is un striated
Smooth
Muscle tissue usually attached to bones
Skeletal
Muscle tissue with the longest individual cells
Skeletal
Nonstriated muscle tissue
Smooth
Does the length of the actin and myosin filaments change during contraction
No
This is essential for maintaining posture
