Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology (Shier), 12th EditionChapter 9: Muscular SystemLearning Outcomes9.1 Introduction1 List various outcomes of muscle actions 9.2 Structure of a Skeletal Muscle 2 Describe the structure of a skeletal muscle. 3 Name the major parts of a skeletal muscle fiber and describe the functions of each. 9.3 Skeletal Muscle Contraction 4 Describe the neural control of skeletal muscle contraction 5 Identify the major events of skeletal muscle fiber contraction. 6 List the energy sources for skeletal muscle fiber contraction. 7 Describe oxygen debt. 8 Describe how a muscle may become fatigued. 9.4 Muscular Responses 9 Distinguish between a twitch and a sustained contraction. 10 Explain how various types of muscular contractions produce body movements and help maintain posture. 11 Distinguish between fast and slow twitch muscle fibers. 9.5 Smooth Muscles 12 Distinguish between the structures and functions of multiunit smooth muscle and visceral smooth muscle. 13 Compare the contraction mechanisms of skeletal and smooth muscle fibers. 9.6 Cardiac Muscle 14 Compare the contraction mechanisms of skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers. 9.7 Skeletal Muscle Actions 15 Explain how the attachments, locations, and interactions of skeletal muscles make possible certain movements. 9.8 Major Skeletal Muscles 16 Identify and locate the skeletal muscles of each body region and describe the action(s) of each muscle. 9.9 Life-Span Changes 17 Describe aging-related changes in the muscular system. 18 Discuss how exercise can help maintain a healthy muscular system as the body ages. |  |
