1. Skeletal
2. Cardiac
3. Smooth
Term
What are skeletal muscles?
Definition
Muscles under voluntary control that are connected to the bones and provide movement.
Term
What are smooth muscles?
Definition
Muscles found in organs, involuntary
Term

Yellow- stores fat
Term
Which layer is on the outermost surface of bone:
a. compact bone
b. spongy bone

Term
How to muscles create motion?
Pushing or Pulling?
Definition
Pulling ONLY; muscles can never push
Term
What does it mean when muscles work in dual function/partnering?
Definition
Because muscles can only pull they must have a partnering muscle that pulls the joint back the opposite direction.
