There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body: Skeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac. Watch the video about these muscle types: (use the blue link)


Next, for each muscle type, determine its:
  • location
  • a picture of the tissue
  • appearance
  • whether the muscle is voluntary or involuntary (can be used more than once)
  • how many nuclei are in the cells of the muscle type

  • Appearance: Smooth
  • Voluntary
  • cells contain multiple nuclei
  • Location: Walls of the Heart
  • Location: Connected to bones
  • cells contain one or two nuclei
  • Appearance: Striated
  • cells contain one nuclei
  • Involuntary
  • Location: Blood vessels, digestive tract
  • Skeletal muscle
  • Smooth muscle
  • Cardiac muscle
7

Using the information above, match the following muscles with their type.

  • The muscle surrounding the left ventricle of the heart
  • The muscle surrounding the right atrium of the heart
  • The biceps brachii (helps to bend the elbow)
  • The muscle surrounding the stomach and small intestine
  • The sternocleidomastoid (helps us shake our head 'yes' and 'no')
  • The muscle surrounding the aorta (the main artery running through the abdominopelvic cavity)
  • The abdominal muscles (the "six pack" muscles)
  • Skeletal muscle
  • Smooth muscle
  • Cardiac muscle

What are common symptoms of Fibromyalgia?

1

How is Muscular Dystrophy characterized?

1

Why is Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome commonly known as 'shin splints'?

1

How do the effects of a sprain differ from those of a strain?

1

Prime movers (agonists) are muscles that cause movement in the same direction as the main muscles.

1

A synergist muscle aids an antagonist muscle by preventing unnecessary movement.

1

In performing a plantar flexion movement, the ankle is bent inwards and the toes point upwards.

1

Pair the terms related to neuromuscular junction with their definitions.

1

Extensibility in muscle tissue refers to its ability to extend beyond its normal resting length without being damaged.

1

During elbow flexion, the antagonist muscle is the bicep brachii.

1

In the complex architecture of the sarcomere, what is the specific function of actin?

1

What triggers the muscle contraction at the neuromuscular junction?

1

Elasticity in muscle tissue refers to its ability to return to its original form after being stretched or contracted.

1

What is the main function of myosin in the sarcomere structure?

1

Contractility in muscle tissue allows it to decrease its size which results to muscle contraction.
