4 major functions of the skeletal system
1. Protection
2. Storage
3. Movement
4. Blood cell formation

What are the three general classifications of muscle tissue and are they involuntary or voluntary
CARDIAC: comprising the walls of the heart, maintains the ongoing pumping action of the heart. Involuntary.
SMOOTH: Lines the internal organs and blood vessel walls. Serves to move food through the digestive system and blood through the arteries and veins. Involuntary.
SKELETAL: Controls movement, most abundant type of muscle in the human body. Voluntary.
Sliding filament theory order
1. An electric impulse(ACTION POTENTIAL) is delivered by the CNS via a motor neuron to the muscle fiber
2. The small heads projecting from the myosin filaments bind with the actin filaments to create the actin-myosin cross bridges
3. The actin are pulled(called a POWER STROKE) in a sliding fashion, across the myosin filaments
4. The sliding action causes the z-lines to move closer together, which shortens the sarcoma without the myofilaments themselves changing length
5. The impulse from the nervous system subsides allowing the actin-myosin cross bridge to uncouple. returning the muscle to its normal resting length. [Show Less]
