chapter 6

Voluntary muscle is:

• skeletal muscle

• cardiac muscle.

• • 
    

    visceral muscle.

• smooth muscle.

A nerve meets a muscle cell at the:

• neuroendocrine junction.

• neuromuscular junction.

• • 
    

    articulation junction.

• neurotransmitter junction.

The muscle that opposes an agonist is the:

• 
  

  rotator.

  
  

• • 
    

    abduction.

• • 
    

    flexor.

• • 
    

    antagonist.

A muscle that assists a prime mover is a(n):

• • 
    

    activist.

• • 
    

    dorsiflexor.

• synergist.

• • 
    

    adductor.

Dyskinesia is:

• • 
    

    rapid movement.

• paralysis.

• • 
    

    abnormality of movement.

• malformation of muscle fibers.

Opposite the origin of a muscle is the:

• • 
    

    actin.

• • 
    

    primer.

• • 
    

    insertion.

• junction.

Fascia is:

• • 
    

    a sheath that covers a muscle.

• • 
    

    connective tissue that stabilizes a joint.

• tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone.

• the fibers in a muscle.

Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion involve movements of the:

• wrist

• leg

• foot

• head

Tenotomy is:

• • 
    

    tearing of a tendon.

• • 
    

    incision of a tendon.

• • 
    

    movement of a tendon.

• • 
    

    rupture of a tendon.

Inflammation of muscle is:

• • 
    

    myositis.

• • 
    

    myitis.

• • 
    

    myotitis.

• • 
    

    myoitis.
