Skeletal Muscle
Move the body by pulling bones of the skeleton making it possible to move and dance.
Epimysium
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue surrounds entire skeletal system.
Skeletal Muscles
Produce Skeletal Movements
Maintain posture and body position
Support soft tissues
Regulate entering and exiging material
Maintain body temperature
Perimysium
divide the muscle into a series of internal compartments each containg a bundle of muscle fibers called fascicles.
Endomysium
Surrounds each skeletal muscle fiber binds each fiber to its neighbor
Sacrolemma
Cell membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber that surrounds the sacroplasma
Sacroplasma
Cytoplasm another word for it.
Muscle Belly
Spindle shape with cordlike tendons at one or both ends. Also known as the gaster.
Aponeurosis
Flat broad bands.Aponeuroses (plural of aponeurosis: απο, "away" or "of", and νευρον, "sinew") are layers of flat broad tendons.
Deep Fascia
Deep fascia (or "investing fascia") is a layer of fascia which can surround individual muscles, and divide groups of muscles into compartments.

This is the dense fibrous connective tissue that interpenetrates and surrounds the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels of the body. It provides connection and communication in the form of aponeuroses, ligaments, tendons, retinacula, joint capsules, and septa. The deep fasciae envelop all bone (periosteum and endosteum); cartilage (perichondrium), and blood vessels (tunica externa) and become specialized in muscles (epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium) and nerves (epineurium, perineurium, and endoneurium).
Sarcomere
Actin filaments found in thin filabments and myosin filaments are found in thick filaments. The actin and myosin filaments are organized in repeating units called sarcomeres.
H Zone
Part of the A band H band is thick filaments only and the zone of overlap thick and thin filaments.
A Band
Area containg thick filaments. Comprised of the A and M bands
I Band
Contains only thin filaments . Region between A and Z bands.
M Line
Thick filament lie in the coneter of the sarcomere linked by proteins of the M line.
Z Line
Thin filamens at either ind of the sarcomere attached to interconnecting proteins that make up the Z lines. Z lines delineate the ends of the sarcomere.
Myofilaments
Make up proteins of actin and myosin. Myosin part found in thick filaments.
Crossbridges
On the thick heads of the myofilaments.
Thin Filament
Each thin fialment consits of a twisted strand 5-6nm in diamer and 1 um in length. Actin
Troponin
Complex of three subunits. Prevents Anti myosin in the resting muscle
Flexion
Movement in the anterior-posterior plane that reduces the angle between articlating elements.
Extension
Occurs in the same plane but it incresases the angle between articlulating elements. When you bring your head toward your chest you flex the intervetebral articlations of the neck. When you bend to touch your toes.
Adduction
Wrist moves the heel of the hand toward the body.
Abduction
Wrist moves the heel of the hand away from the body.
Medial
Internal rotation arm toward stomach
Lateral rotation
Arm rotation away from the stomach this is an external rotation
Eversion
A twisting motion of the foot that turn the sole outward.
Inversion
A twisting motion of the foot that turn the sole inward.
Promation
Pronation is a rotational movement of the forearm at the radioulnar joint, or of the foot at the subtalar and talocalcaneonavicular joints.
Supination
Supination is a position of either the forearm or foot; in the forearm when the palm faces anteriorly, or faces up (when the arms are unbent and at the sides).
Plantar Flexion
Plantarflexion (or plantar flexion) is the movement which increases the approximate 90 degree angle between the front part of the foot and the shin, as when depressing an automobile pedal
Dorsiflexion
Dorsiflexion is the movement which decreases the angle between the dorsum (superior surface) of the foot and the leg, so that the toes are brought closer to the shin.
Lateralflexion
When the vertebral column bends to the side.
Elevation
When you shrug your shoulders
Depression
Closing your mouth
Protraction
Entails moving a part of the body anteriorly in the horizontal plane.
Retraction
Retraction in the reverse movement.
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), from the Greek sarx, ("flesh"), is a special type of smooth ER found in smooth and striated muscle. The only structural difference between this organelle and the SER is the medley of proteins they have, both bound to their membranes and drifting within the confines of their lumens. This fundamental difference is indicative of their functions: the SER synthesizes molecules while the SR stores and pumps calcium ions. The SR contains large stores of calcium, which it sequesters and then releases when the muscle cell is stimulated.
Calcium Ions
Calcium ions are important mediators of a great variety of cellular activities, including the passing of information between neurons and down a neuron. Neurotransmiters.
Epiccranium
Consists of Epicranical aponeurosis
Temporoparietalis
Occipitonfrantalis Muscles
Occipitionfrontalis(Frontal Belly)
O: Epicranial Aponeurosis
I: Skin of eyebrow and bridge of nose.
A: Raises eyebrows
