2 Muscular System
3 Points to ponder What are the 3 types of muscle tissue? What are the functions of the muscular system? How are muscles named and what are the muscles of the human body? How are skeletal muscles and muscle fibers structured? How do skeletal muscles contract? How do skeletal muscle cells acquire ATP for contraction? What is rigor mortis? What are some common muscular disorders? What are some serious muscle diseases? How do the skeletal and muscular system help maintain homeostasis? How are these 2 systems related to other systems in maintaining homeostasis?
4 Review: Types of muscle tissue 1._________ – involuntary muscle found in hollow organs and vessels 2._________ – involuntary muscle found in the heart 3.__________ – voluntary muscle that is attached to the skeleton 12.1 Overview of the Muscular System
