Definition
fibrous connective tissue that surrounds bundles of muscle fiber
Term
myofibril
Definition
made of 2 types of myofilaments made of proteins

Definition
connects muscle to bone
Term
2 types of filament
Definition
thick made of protein-myosin
thin made of protein-actin
Term
explain muscle contraction
Definition
myofibrils are chain of sacromeres (contracting units) neuromuscular junction is where a nerve starts a contraction. ACh transmits signal from nerve to muscle (neurotransmitter)

Definition
pump out blood
Term
where is the bicuspid valve and what does it do?
Definition
left side, prevents backflow
Term
what do the vena cavas do?
Definition
take blood to heart from the body, (no O2)
Term
layers of the heart and what they are
Definition
pericardium:contains roots of vessels, generates impulses
myocardium:muscular tissue contracts and conducts eletricity
endocardium: inner lining
Term
pulse points on the body
Definition

Brachial artery (mid-arm)
Temporal (temple)
posterior tibial artery (back of the knee)
Term
aorta
Definition
brings O2 blood to the body
Term
what is systolic and diastolic pressure
Definition
systloic- pressure when vessels contract
diastolic- pressure when vessels relax
