What are some characteristics of skeletal muscles (striated)?
long and cylindrical, have multiple nuclei, and consist of fibers (cells) divided by bands or cross-striations (stripes)
What is the tough outer sheath that surrounds skeletal muscle called?

What type of connective tissue connects muscle to bone?
Tendons
What are the three types of fascia (fibrous connective membrane on muscles)?
Deep, subcutaneous, and subserous
Where are neurotransmitters stored?
Synaptic vesicles
What is the region between neuron terminals and muscle fibers?
Neuromuscular junction or the synaptic gap
What is the neurotransmitter that has the primary function of bridging the synaptic gaps between nerve terminals and receptor sites of skeletal muscles?
Acetylcholine
What is the fixed, beginning point of a muscle called?
Origin
What is the end point of the muscle, where it is attached to the bone it moves, called?
Insertion
Flexion
Decreases angle of the joint (bending)
Extension
Increases the angle of the joint (extending)
Abduction
Moving away from the center of the body
Adduction
Moving toward the center of the body
Dorsiflexion
Moving up or down
Supination
Rotating the palm upward
Pronation
Rotating palm downward
What nerve innervates the facial muscles?
The facial nerve (the seventh cranial nerve)
What three muscles work together to move the eyelids, eyebrows, and forehead?
Frontalis, corrugator supercilii, and orbicularis oculi
What is a bifurcated muscle?
Each side can move independently (frontalis being an example)
Which muscle is known as the frowning muscle?
The corrugator
What does the latin word cilium mean?
eyelash
The orbicularis oculi is composed of three parts-what are they and what do they do?
Palpebral-closes eyelid gently(sleeping)
Orbital-closes eyelid more vigorously(winking)
Lacrimal Apparatus-network that secretes and drains tears
Draws the upper lip backward, upward, and outward
Zygomaticus minor, or quadratus labii superioris
Opens and closes the mouth
Orbicularis oris
Raises the corners of the mouth (smiling)
Zygomaticus major
Raises, lowers, and protrudes the lower lip
Depressor labii inferioris, or quadratus, or levator labii inferioris
Raises and lowers the lower lip, causes wrinkling of the chin
Mentalis
Depresses the angle of the mouth (creates a sad expression)
Depressor anguli oris, or triangularis
Eleavtes and retracts the jaw
Masseter
What is a frenulum?
A tissue that connects one thing to another
