Exercise 23 pages 171-180

(complete critical thinking questions and turn in all of the pages stapled together)

This lab is to allow you to become familiar with types of motion, muscle anatomy & the histology of muscles.   You do not need to draw the nervous tissue

 For the next practical

1.   Be able to identify the structural and functional differences between:

o           Smooth muscle

o           Cardiac muscle

o           Skeletal muscle

Look at slides of the 3 muscle types and draw pictures on page 78.  Look at the table on page 75 for tissue characteristics.

2.  Be able to identify the following skeletal muscles:

        The muscle models will be on the test.  Label the various models with sticky paper until you can identify each muscle.

* Identify the primary function (movement) of each muscle listed.

* Identify which muscle acts as an antagonist to the movement

*  Identify the origin and insertion of each muscle listed
