The video above will help you review the way muscles work from a microscopic perspective. You can use the information from the video to help answer the questions in this section. We will also review these questions during our lesson on 10/6/23
Question 1
1.

Select all of the functions of the muscular system. (there are 4 correct choices)

Question 2
2.

There are three characteristics to match with each of the types of muscle.

Some of the characteristics are used more than once but each category will only have 3 correct answers.

  • Voluntary
  • Involuntary
  • Striations
  • No striations
  • Makes up the structure of the heart
  • Found in digestive system, blood vessels, etc.
  • Found attached to bones
  • Cardiac muscle
  • Skeletal muscle
  • Smooth muscle
Question 3
3.

What is a motor neuron.

Question 4
4.

What is the function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase?

Question 5
5.

What is a sarcomere?

Question 6

The deltoid muscle is shaped like a trapazoid.

Question 9
9.

Match the name of each muscle below with its location.
Use the information we learned about muscle naming based on shape and region terms.

You can go back to the recording (linked at top of this assignment) or class slides (found in class announcements) to help you with this question.

Question 10

A muscle origin is attached to the fixed bone; the insertion of the muscle is attached to the bone that will move.

Question 11
11.

Wow, that was a lot of new information!

What do you think about the muscular system so far?
Do you prefer learning about the micro side of things, like how the molecules work together in a sarcomere?
Do you prefer the macro side of things, like the parts we can see without a microscope, such as designing exercises to target specific muscles?
