29
Q

Skeletal, smooth, cardiac

A

3 types of muscles

30
Q

Skeletal muscle

A

Voluntary muscle that forms the largest group

31
Q

Skeletal muscle function

A

These muscles allow us to move our body

32
Q

Smooth muscle

A

Involuntary muscle that controls the movement of the internal systems of the body

33
Q

Smooth muscle function

A

Allow digestion, respiratory, urination, uterine, and sphincters

34
Q

Isotonic

A

Same fluids NaCl in our body as administering fluids

35
Q

Muscles

A

Produce a lot of heat

36
Q

Cardiac muscle

A

Involuntary muscle in the heart

37
Q

Cardiac muscle function

A

Contracts and relaxes to pump blood through the body

38
Q

Movement, heat generation, maintaining posture

A

Muscular system functions

39
Q

Excitability

A

Must be able to respond to stimulus

40
Q

Contractability

A

Must have the ability to shorten and tighten

41
Q

Extensibility

A

Must have the ability to stretch

42
Q

Elasticity

A

Must have the ability to regain original size and shape

43
Q

Toxicity

A

Must have the ability to maintain steady contraction

44
Q

Muscle atrophy

A

When muscles get smaller and weaker losing the ability to move

45
Q

Contracture

A

When muscles are not kept moving, the flexor muscles take over and place a limb in a constant bent position

46
Q

Flexor muscles

A

Muscles that make the arm bend

47
Q

Extensor muscles

A

Muscles that straighten the arm

48
Q

Paralysis

A

A nerve to a muscle is damage and cannot function

49
Q

Paralysis

A

A nerve to a muscle is damage and cannot function
