over 600
are most skeletal muscles voluntary/striated or unstraited
voluntary/straited
name the 3 different types of muscle tissue
skeletal, smooth, cardiac
what is the primary muscle for voluntary movement of the body, usually attached to the skeleton by tendons
skeletal muscle
what is the muscle that lines the walls of internal organs - usually short in its strands
smooth muscle (nonstraited_
what is the muscle name derived by its actual location within the body relative to other body structures
location
what is the muscle name derived for the bones to which they are attached. The muscle name can combine more than one name when more than one bone is involved
attachment
what is the muscle name derived by actual size of the muscle or its relative size to a similar muscle can be used in naming a muscle.
size
what is the muscle name derived by These delineations
contain basic directional planes and are used on similar muscles to designate a slightly different orientation.
Often a "medial" will have a corresponding "lateral," as,
for example, medial meniscus and lateral meniscus (in the
knee). An "external" will have a corresponding "internal,"
such as the internal and external jugular veins.
relative position
what is the muscle name derived for Muscles are responsible for movement. However, there are several different types of
movements, and muscles are according to the actual movement that they produce.
