broad sheets of connective tissue that connect muscles
layer of connective tissue around each skeletal muscle
surrounds bundles of skeletal muscle fibers

myofibrils mostly composed of protein actin
unit that makes up myofibrils
chemical substance released at the end of a nerve fiber to the muscle fiber
junction between nerve cells
location where there are specific receptors for the neurotransmitter
a protein that consists of two twisted strands with globular heads
a globular protein arranged in twisted filaments with myosin binding sites
organisms use oxygen to turn glucose into ATP

specific neurotransmitter for skeletal muscle contractions
contain elongated cells that lack striations whose jo is to move food through the digestive tract
contain striated cells that are branching with intercalated discs whose function is to pump blood
prime mover, muscle that causes an action
muscle that assist the primer mover
muscle that opposes the action of the prime mover
contain multinucleated cells with striations focused on moving bones
