32.
Internal Intercostal: draw ribs in during air out go and decrease the size of the cage

41.
Motorunit: a motor neuron and all the muscle fibers that it stimulates, up to 150 fibers
42.
Multiunit: found in walls of blood vessles, hair follicle, iris of eye (contracts one fiber at a time)
43.
Muscle Fatigue: over stimulate muscles and they no longer respond
44.
Muscle Tissue: all contractile tissues of body including: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle
45.
Muscular Hypertrophy: increase of size in muscle fibers
46.
Muscular System: the skeletal muscles (only) and connective(tendons) tissue that makes up individual muscle organs. Ex. Biceps brachii
47.
Myo: muscle
48.
Myoglobin: store oxygen in muscle- contracts fast
49.
Myogram: record of muscle contraction
50.
Nueron: nerve cell
51.
Obicularis Oculi: circular muscle around the eye, it closes the eye
52.
Obicularis Oris: circular muscle around the mouth, shapes lips for speech
53.
Origin: attachment point of muscle- tendon to stationary bone
54.
Oxygen Debt: when your muscles are at rest, there is enough oxygen present, but when your exercising you deplete the oxygen; you must pay it back; breathing harder
55.
Pennate: like feather- in arm, leg, and forearm Ex. Extensor Digitorum muscle
56.
Peristalsis: Movement of food down tract
57.
Psychological Fatigue: in your mind, tell yourself you cant go any longer
58.
Quadratus Lumborum: between last pair of ribs and the illium, flexes column laterally
59.
Quadriceps Femoris: all extend leg (4)
60.
Recovery Heat: produced after relaxation and associated with ATP restoration
61.
Rectus Abdominus: flexes vertebral column
62.
Respiratory disturbance: creates oxygen debt Ex. Asthema
63.
