| actin | layer of protien, protien filaments that shorten making the muscle contract (not myosin) |
| myosin | protien filaments that shorten making the muscle contract (not actin) |
| tendon | tissue joining the muscle to the bone |
| skeletal muscle | muscle necessary to move your bones |
| striations | stripes in muscles, caused by actin & myosin |
| cardiac muscle | heart, makes continuous contractions for pumping of the heart |
| smooth muscle | involuntary, in the blood vessels, no control over them, (stomach and intestines) |
| anatomy | form |
| phisiology | function |
| knee ligaments | lets the knee move in many ways, because knee is a hinge joint |

| insertion | muscle attatchment into bone that moves |
| levers | bones, simple machines, bones that actually move |
| antagonist muscle | muscles on either side of the bone, one contracts & one relaxes |
| elbow | pivot/fulcrum |
| sprain | injury to a ligament |
| strain | injury to a muscle |
| biceps | antagonist muscle in forearm |
| triceps | antagonist muscle in arm |
| ligament | tissue that holds bone together |
| avulsion | fracture where the muscle pulls away from the periosteum |
| incomplete fracture | fracture that does not go through the bone |
| complete fracture | fracture that goes through the bone |
| spiral fracture | fracture that spirals in the bone |
| compound fracture | bone comes through the skin |
| long bone | the femur bone and the humerous |
