What are the 4 characteristics of muscle tissue? What are the functions of the muscular system? Be able to describe the organization and composition of skeletal muscle from its smallest to largest components. What is deep fascia, and what function does it serve? Know the origins, insertions, and actions for all muscles listed in the lab manual. Be able to describe the function, and the anatomical structures of the neuromuscular junction and a motor unit. What is the All-or-None Principle? What is a sarcomere? What is the anatomy of the sarcomere? What are the anatomical changes of the sarcomere that occur during contraction (i.e. sliding filament theory)? What is muscle tone? What are the differences between isometric and isotonic muscle contraction? What is muscle atrophy? What is muscle hyperatrophy? Describe the three types of skeletal muscle fibers. What are the four organizational patterns of skeletal muscle fascicles? What are agonists, antagonists, synergists and fixators?
Understand the Problem
The questions are primarily focused on the characteristics, functions, and anatomy of muscle tissue and the muscular system. They require detailed knowledge about muscle physiology, structural composition, and different types of muscle contractions, which indicates a specific inquiry into the field of biology.
Answer
Characteristics: excitability, contractility, extensibility, elasticity. Functions: movement, stability, heat production, posture. Deep fascia: dense connective tissue providing support. Organization: myofilaments, myofibrils, fibers, fascicles, muscles.
Muscle tissue characteristics are excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity. The muscular system functions include movement, stability, heat production, and posture maintenance. Deep fascia is a dense connective tissue surrounding muscles, providing support and stability. Skeletal muscle organization includes myofilaments, myofibrils, muscle fibers, fascicles, and complete muscles.
Answer for screen readers
Muscle tissue characteristics are excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity. The muscular system functions include movement, stability, heat production, and posture maintenance. Deep fascia is a dense connective tissue surrounding muscles, providing support and stability. Skeletal muscle organization includes myofilaments, myofibrils, muscle fibers, fascicles, and complete muscles.
More Information
Deep fascia plays a crucial role in supporting muscle structures and allowing free movement by reducing friction. It also acts as a pathway for nerves and blood vessels.
Tips
Confusing the structure of the muscle components with the general muscle functions; remembering the sequence from smallest to largest can help.
