What is Cardiac Muscle?
Cardiac muscle is muscle of the heart
What is Smooth Muscle
Smooth Muscle is made out of nonstriated cells, and are used for your internal organs.
What is a neuron?

What is a synapse?
A synapse is the interface between a neuron and another cell
What is a neurotransmitter?
A neurotransmitter is a chemical released by a neuron which diffuses across the synaptic cleft, enabling the neuron to communicate with another cell.
What is Muscle tone?
Muscle tone is the state of partial contraction in a muscle, even when the muscle is not being used.

What are the criteria used in naming skeletal muscles?
- Muscle size
- Muscle shape
- Location of the muscle
- Orientation of the muscle’s fascicles
- Muscle origin and insertion
- Number of heads (origins) on the muscle
- Muscle Function
