MUSCULAR SYSTEM Notes Worksheet

This document provides information about the muscular system. It discusses the three main types of muscle tissue: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle. It also lists the main characteristics of muscle tissue, including elasticity, tone, irritability, and contractility. The functional unit of skeletal muscle is the sarcomere, which contains the contractile proteins actin and myosin. Regulatory proteins such as troponin and tropomyosin allow for muscle relaxation. Minerals like calcium are also important for muscle contraction. The document concludes with a matching exercise to test knowledge of specific muscle names and locations.

CHARACTERISTICS OF MUSCLE TISSUE:

________________________ is the ability to stretch or extend.

________________________ is the ability to retract to original size.

________________________ is the ability to be stimulated.

________________________ is the ability to contract.

Skeletal muscles are named by their location or shape. Greek or Latin roots five information.

ad – towards rectus – straight


ab – away from sub – under

In the muscle fiber the functional unit is called ________________________ which has two types of proteins
important for muscle contraction: ________________________ and ________________________. There are also
two regulatory proteins that allow muscle relaxation by blocking the other two: ________________________ and
________________________. Minerals are important in muscle contraction. The main mineral is
________________________.
