3
New cards
aerobic metabolism
They are oxidative and rely on ________ to produce energy.
4
New cards
Skeletal muscles
________ also play an important role in maintaining posture by contracting continuously to keep the body upright.
5
New cards
Sarcomeres
________ consist of actin filaments and myosin filaments that slide past each other to produce muscle contraction.
6
New cards
Myofibrils
________ contain sarcomeres, which are the contractile units of muscle fibers.
7
New cards
Voluntary muscle contains
