Striated muscles

Skeletal muscles. Voluntary or self controlled muscles.

Nonstriated muscles

Smooth muscles. Involuntary and function automatically.

Cardiac muscle

Involuntary muscle that is the heart

Origin

Part of muscle that doesn't move and is attached closest to skeleton

Belly

Middle part of muscle

Insertion

Part of muscle that moves and is farthest from skeleton

Epicranius

Muscle that covers top of skull and consists of the occipitalis and frontalis

Occipitalis

Back portion of epicranius, muscle that draws the scalp backwards

Frontalis

Front portion of epicranius; the muscle of the scalp that raises eyebrows, draws the scalp foreward, and causes wrinkles across the forehead

Central nervous system

Division of nervous system that consists of the brain, spinal cord, and cranial nerves. Controls consciousness and mental activities, voluntary functions of the five senses, and voluntary muscle actions, including all body movements and facial expressions.

Peripheral nervous system

System of nerves that connects the outer parts of the body to the CNS. Has both sensory and motor nerves. It's function is to carry impulses to and from the nervous system.
