smooth, skeletal, cardiac

Question 2

smooth muscle tissue location

Answer 2

walls of hollow internal
organs: vessels, airways, stomach,
bladder, and uterus

Question 3

Smooth muscle tissue structure

Answer 3

muscle fiber (spindle-shaped), nucleus (centrally located)

Question 4

Answer 4

involuntary movements
and motion; moves materials through
internal organs

Question 5

Skeletal muscle location

Answer 5

attaches to bones or
sometimes skin

Question 6

Skeletal muscle structure

Answer 6

muscle fiber (long, cylindrical,
unbranched), nuclei (multiple per fiber), striations

Question 7

Skeletal muscle function

Answer 7

moves skeleton; responsible
for voluntary body movements,
locomotion, and heat production

Question 8

Cardiac muscle location

Answer 8

heart wall (myocardium)

Question 9

Cardiac muscle structure

Answer 9

muscle fiber (or cardiomyocyte)
short, branched, nucleus (one per cell), striations, intercalated discs (between cells)

Question 10

Cardiac muscle function

Answer 10

involuntary contraction and
relaxation; pumps blood in the heart

Question 11

Nervous tissue location

Answer 11

brain, spinal cord,
peripheral nervous tissue

Question 12

Nervous tissue

Answer 12

neuron, soma (cell body), axon, dendrites, neuroglia (glial cells)

Question 13

Nervous tissue

Answer 13

neurons control and communicate between cells; neuroglia support and protect, neurons
