Elasticity
51
Muscles can enlarge (hypertrophy) or shrink (atrophy) based on use

54
Attachment to an immovable bone
Origin
55
Attachment to a movable bone
Insertion
56
Muscle shortens, causing movement. Myofilaments are able to slide past each other during contractions
Isotonic contractions
57
Muscle tension increases during relaxation without shortening.
Isometric contractions
58
5 body movements
Adduction abduction rotation flexion extension
59
What are the functions of muscles
Produce movement stabilizes the joint maintain posture generate heat communication and respiration
60
The ability to adapt and that it can be change in response to how it is used
Adaptability
61
Muscles are attached to at least two points which are
The origin and insertion
62
Sense electric shock to the heart of the patient
Defibrillator
63
Myofilaments are able to slide past each other during contractions and are able to shorten
Isotonic contractions
64
Tension increases in the muscle and is unable to shortens
Isometric contractions
65
Even when muscles are not actively moving, some fibers contract to maintain **muscle tone**.
Muscle tone
66
Different fibers contract at different times to provide continuous muscle tone.
Involuntary conyrol
67
occurs if muscles are not used or if they are injured, leading to a loss of muscle tone and shrinking.
Atrophy
68
occurs if muscles are not used or if they are injured, leading to a loss of muscle tone and shrinking.
Atrophy
69
1. **Increasing muscle size** (hypertrophy). 2. **Increasing muscle strength**. 3. **Improving muscle efficiency**. 4. Making muscles more **resistant to fatigue**.
70
**Involuntary** muscles found in the walls of hollow organs (e.g., intestines, blood vessels).
Smooth muscles
71
This is called as an involuntary muscle because it works automatically rather than under conscious control
Smooth muscle
72
Non-striated** and **spindle-shaped**. - Functions include moving food through the digestive system and regulating blood flow by controlling blood vessel width. - Slow, sustained, and tireless contractions. - Smooth muscles line the stomach, intestines, and bladder.
Smooth muscle
73
They are single-nucleated. - Found in the digestive system and blood vessels. - Help regulate organ functions without conscious control.
Smooth muscles
74
It makes up the walls of the heart and is part of the muscular system and circulatory system
Cardiac muscle
75
Involuntary**, **striated** muscles found only in the heart. - **Myocardium**: The thick, muscular layer of the heart wall responsible for heartbeats. - Controlled by **intrinsic electrical impulses** from the **sinoatrial node** (the heart’s natural pacemaker). - More **mitochondria** compared to skeletal muscles, allowing continuous energy for heartbeats. - **Intercalated discs** connect cardiac muscle cells, ensuring synchronized heartbeats.
