List all the components that make a muscle group in order from superficial to deep - muscle group, fascicle, muscle fiber, myofibril, myofilaments, myofilaments - smaller protein structures that make up myofibrils; responsible for contraction and give the striated appearance to the muscle, thick filaments - myofilaments made of myosin, have rod like tails ending in globular heads; pull on actin to shorten sarcomere, how are muscles named - direction of muscle fibers, relative size, location, number of origins, origin and insertion, shape, and action, thin filaments - myofilaments made of actin; binding site for myosin, fascicles - bundles of muscle cells (muscle fibers), sarcomere - contractile unit of the myofibrils within a muscle cell, sarcoplasm - cytoplasm of a muscle fiber, cardiac muscle - heart; involuntary, uninucleated, striated, responsible for heart beating, contracts and relaxes at moderate rate, myosin - thick filament, actin - thin filament, epimysium - covers the muscle group, sarcolemma - plasma membrane of a muscle cell, perimysium - covers the fascicle, whole muscle - bundle of fascicles, muscle fiber - muscle cell, muscular system functions - produce/generate movement, stabilize joints, stabilize posture, smooth muscle - found in walls of hollow organs, arranged in sheets, spindle shaped cells, uninucleate, not capable of rapid contraction, move substances within the body, involuntary, nonstriated, tendons - attach muscle to bone, ligaments - attach bone to bone, myofibril - long ribbon-like organelles that make up muscle cells; allow muscle cell to contract, endomysium - covers the muscle fiber (muscle cell), skeletal muscle - move the skeleton, attached to bones; voluntary control, striated, multi-nucleate, contract and relax rapidly, found in bundles,
