(9/25/25) formative assessment assignment: chapter 6 the muscular system part 1 (suggest 2 of 16 skeletal muscle skeletal muscle fibers are packaged into organs called skeletal muscles that attach to the skeleton. as the skeletal muscles cover our (1 ) and cartilage framework, they help form the smooth contours of the body. skeletal muscle fibers are large, cigar - shaped, multinucleate cells. they are the largest (2 ) fibers—some ranging up to 30 cm (nearly 1 foot) in length. indeed, the fibers of large, hardworking muscles, such as the antigravity muscles of the hip, are so big and coarse that they can be seen with the naked eye. skeletal muscle is also known as (3 ) muscle (because its fibers have obvious stripes) and as voluntary muscle (because it is the only muscle type subject to conscious control). however, it is important to recognize that skeletal muscles can be (4 ) by reflexes (without our “willed command”) as well. skeletal muscle tissue can contract rapidly and with great force, but it tires easily and must rest after short periods of activity. when you think of (5 ) muscle tissue, the key words to remember are skeletal, striated, and voluntary. o 1 skeletal 2 bone 3 muscle 4 striated 5 activated o 1 striated 2 activated 3 skeletal 4 bone 5 muscle o 1 bone 2 muscle 3 striated 4 activated 5 skeletal o 1 activated 2 skeletal 3 bone 4 muscle 5 striated o 1 muscle 2 striated 3 activated 4 skeletal 5 bone

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles attach to the skeleton and cover our bone and cartilage framework. They are the largest muscle fibers. They are also called striated muscle due to stripes and can be activated by reflexes. When thinking of skeletal muscle tissue, key - words are skeletal, striated, and voluntary.

Answer:

1. bone 2. muscle 3. striated 4. activated 5. skeletal
