Match the following types of muscles with their control mechanism:
Voluntary muscles = Perform voluntary contractions and relaxations Involuntary muscles = Perform involuntary contractions
Match the following actions with the appropriate muscle movement:
Bending the elbow = Brain instructs the triceps muscle to contract Straightening the arm = Brain signals the triceps muscle to relax
Match the following characteristics with the types of muscles:
Voluntary muscles = Work in coordinated groups with other muscles Involuntary muscles = Controlled by autonomic nervous system
Match the following with their locations in the body:
Head and neck muscles = Responsible for facial expressions, head movements, speech, and swallowing Trunk muscles = Mainly responsible for breathing and supporting the spine Pelvic muscles = Hold organs inside the pelvic cavity firmly in place Muscles of the limbs = Include upper limb muscles with tendons connecting to wrist and fingers
Match the following with their functions:
Thoracic muscles = Mainly responsible for breathing Muscles of the back = Hold the spinal column erect Abdominal muscles = Assist in breathing movements and balance spine muscles Lower limb muscles = Among the most powerful in the body
Match the following with their role in posture:
Muscles of the back = Hold the spinal column erect Abdominal muscles = Keep viscera firmly in place and assist in breathing movements Upper limb muscles = Bulk at shoulder and below elbow with tendons connecting to wrist and fingers Pelvic muscles = Hold organs inside the pelvic cavity firmly in place
Match the following with their anchorage points:
Abdominal muscles = Have strong anchorage points Pelvic muscles = Have strong anchorage points especially at the pelvis Upper limb muscles = Long tendons connect to wrist and fingers for anchorage Lower limb muscles = Have strong anchorage points especially at the pelvis
Match the following with their specific functions:
Head and neck muscles = Responsible for facial expressions, head movements, speech, and swallowing Thoracic muscles = Attached to two or more bones and mainly responsible for breathing Muscles of the limbs = Include upper limb muscles at shoulder and lower limb muscles as most powerful Trunk muscles = Support breathing, spine, viscera, and organs inside pelvic cavity
Match the following muscle type with its control mechanism:
Voluntary muscles = Under conscious control of the nervous system Involuntary muscles = Controlled by the autonomic nervous system
Match the following example with the type of muscle involved:
Biceps contracting to bend the elbow = Voluntary muscle Heart muscle contracting to pump blood = Involuntary muscle
Match the following term with its description:
Muscle contraction = Movement due to the filaments moving in relation to each other Muscle relaxation = State when muscles are not actively contracting
Match the following location with the type of muscle found there:
Limbs = Voluntary muscles Heart = Involuntary muscle
Match the following scenario with the correct muscle action:
Brain signals biceps to relax and triceps to contract to straighten the arm = Voluntary muscle action Heart contracts to pump blood without conscious control = Involuntary muscle action
Match the following statement with the appropriate muscle function:
Muscle stabilization of nearby joints = Contraction of one muscle accompanied by relaxation of another Conscious movement of organs such as bending the elbow = Muscles under conscious control of the nervous system
Match the following muscle groups with their main functions:
Head and neck muscles = Responsible for facial expressions, head movements, speech, and swallowing Trunk muscles = Mainly responsible for breathing and holding the spinal column erect Abdominal muscles = Keep the viscera firmly in place and assist in breathing movements Pelvic muscles = Hold the organs inside the pelvic cavity firmly in place
Match the following trunk muscle subdivisions with their descriptions:
Thoracic muscles = Attached to two or more bones and mainly responsible for breathing Muscles of the back = Hold the spinal column erect Abdominal muscles = Keep the viscera firmly in place, assist in breathing movements, and balance spine muscles Pelvic muscles = Hold organs inside the pelvic cavity firmly in place
Match the following limb muscle subdivisions with their characteristics:
Upper limb muscles = Bulk is at the shoulder and below the elbow with tendons connecting to wrist and fingers Lower limb muscles = Among the most powerful in the body with strong anchorage points at the pelvis Head and neck muscles = Responsible for facial expressions, head movements, speech, and swallowing Trunk muscles = Mainly responsible for breathing and holding the spinal column erect
Match the following muscle groups with their anchorage points:
Abdominal muscles = Have strong anchorage points Pelvic muscles = Hold organs inside the pelvic cavity firmly in place Upper limb muscles = Long tendons connect to wrist and fingers Lower limb muscles = Strong anchorage points especially at the pelvis
Match the following muscle groups with their respective locations in the body:
Head and neck muscles = Responsible for facial expressions, head movements, speech, and swallowing Trunk muscles = Mainly located in the thorax, back, and abdomen regions Pelvic muscles = Hold organs inside the pelvic cavity firmly in place Limb muscles = Located in both upper and lower parts of the body
