Answers:

1. Voluntary = striated Musculoskeletal i.e. Quadriceps

Involuntary = smooth i.e. artery walls and digestion and diaphragm

Cardiac = Striated = the heart

2. Inhibition

3. Prime Movers = These muscles cause the movement to occur. They create the normal range of movement in a joint by contracting and are also referred to as the Agonist. They are the muscles that are primarily responsible for generating the movement.

Antagonist= These muscles act in opposition to the movement generated by the agonists and are responsible for returning a limb to its initial position. this relaxes whilst the agonist contracts - reciprocal inhibition

Synergist = These muscles perform, or assist in performing, the same set of joint motion as the agonists.

Fixator =These muscles provide the necessary support to assist in holding the rest of the body in place while the movement occurs. Fixators are also sometimes called stabilizers.

4. B - Sarcomere

5. Actin is the Thin Myfilament; Myosin is slightly thicker.

8. B- Hamstrings

9. C- Are employed in low intensity activity

10. C - Resistance Training
