    Cards (82)

    • Where’s cardiac muscle found

      The heart
    • Is the cardiac muscle striated or non striated

      Striated
    • What type of control is the cardiac muscle

      Involuntary
    • What muscle is cardiac muscle made up of

      Myocardium
    • Is cardiac muscle fatiguing or non fatiguing 

      Non fatiguing
    • What’s the function of cardiac muscle

      Relaxes and contracts to pump blood around the body to working muscles so they don’t fatigue or cause injury
    • Where’s smooth muscle

      Internal organs
    • Is smooth muscle striated or non striated 

      Non striated
    • Is smooth muscle voluntary or involuntary 

      Involuntary
    • what does smooth muscles push around 

      Nutrients
    • What do smooth muscles help control

      Bloodflow
    • What does smooth muscles regulate

      Airways so oxygen is optimised
    • Where’s skeletal muscle

      All over the body
    • Is skeletal muscle striated or non striated
      Striated
    • Is smooth muscle fatiguing or non fatiguing 

      Non fatiguing
    • Is skeletal muscle fatiguing or non fatiguing 

      Fatiguing
    • Is skeletal muscle voluntary or involuntary 

      Voluntary
    • What does skeletal muscle stabilise 

      Joints
    • what attaches skeletal muscle to bones
      Tendons
    • What does skeletal muscle control

      Body temperature
    • What does skeletal muscle maintain

      Posture
    • What does skeletal muscle prevent

      Injury
    • What’s an agonist

      A muscle that contracts to produce movement , the prime mover
    • What’s an antagonist 

      muscle relaxes while the agonist contracts
    • What’s a synergist

      muscle that assists the agonist to create desired movements
    • Whats a fixator

      A muscle that contracts isometrically by stabilising the agonist muscle, stopping unwanted movements
    • What does isometric mean

      A muscle under tension that stays the same length
    • What’s paired with the bicep 

      Tricep
    • What’s paired with The pectorals

      Latissimus dorsi and trapezius
    • What’s paired with the quadriceps 

      Hamstring
    • What’s paired with the abdominals
      Erector spinae
    • What’s paired with the gastrocnemius
      Tibialis anterior
    • What’s paired with the deltoid

      Latissimus dorsi
    • What’s paired with the gluteals

      Hip flexor
    • What’s a concentric contraction 

      A muscle shortening during contraction
    • What’s an eccentric contraction

      A muscle lengthening during contraction
    • What’s a capillary

      Smallest blood vessel that delivers oxygen and nutrients and removes waste products
    • What’s mitochondria

      Produce energy through aerobic respiration and takes in oxygen to produce atp
    • What’s aerobic respiration 

      Respiration that requires continuous supply of oxygen
    • What’s anaerobic respiration 

      Respiration that doesn’t require oxygen and can provide energy quickly
