Learning outcomes

Question 1

Identify and describe the basis of muscular contraction at the level of the sarcomere, muscle
unit, and whole muscle to explain the different ways skeletal muscles contract.

Question 2

Differentiate between the types of skeletal muscle fibres and draw connections between their
unique features and functions within the body.

Question 3

Explain the main processes involved in voluntary and involuntary motor control to determine how damage to structures and/or pathways would affect movement.

Question 4

Compare and contrast the features of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle to understand
important structure-function relationships.
