Description
This 11-page worksheet product is designed to introduce upper middle school and high school anatomy students to muscle tissue structure and function, as well as the sliding filament model of muscle contraction. A 5-page reading section covers the following topics: characteristics of muscle tissue, features of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle tissue, skeletal muscle structure, muscle fiber structure, the sarcomere, actin and myosin, and the sliding filament model. This section contains detailed notes, summary tables, and full-color diagrams. A 3-page review section follows, featuring diagram labeling, short answer questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and matching columns. Finally, a corresponding 3-page color-coded answer key is included.
Topics Covered by This Product:
- Characteristics of muscle tissue (e.g. excitability, contractility, etc.)
- Types of muscle tissue (skeletal, cardiac, smooth muscle)
- Skeletal muscle structure (e.g. epimysium, endomysium, perimysium, etc.)
- Muscle fiber structure (e.g. sarcolemma, sarcoplasm, etc.)
- Parts of the sarcomere (e.g. H-zone, M-line, A-band, I-band, Z, line, etc.)
- Actin and myosin
- Sliding filament model of muscle contraction
- Steps to the sliding filament model (contraction and relaxation)
