19
Q

what controls smooth muscle?

Autonomic Nervous System

20
Q

Tendon

22
Q

Many fasicles are wrapped together by:

A

Epimysium

23
Q

Muscle cells that make up the walls of hollow organs

A

Smooth muscle

24
Q

examples of organs that contain smooth muscle

A

Bladder, esophagus, stomach, blood vessels

25
Q

Function of skeletal muscle

A

Pull body parts closer to one another

26
Q

Appearance of skeletal muscle cells

A
  • Vary in length (up to 36 inches)
  • Cylinder-shaped
  • Have many nuclei
27
Q

what controls cardiac muscle?

A

Autonomic Nervous System

28
Q

Action of muscle

A

As muscle contracts, the insertions point is brought closer to the origin

Also known as: flex, extend, etc…
