Tests and Quizzes
- Joints, Movements, Intro Muscles Quiz
- Muscles Quiz
- Intro to Muscle Contraction Quiz

Diagrams
- Organization of skeletal muscle (Fascia layers) *169 – 170
Sarcomere organization of bands/zones *172
Neuromuscular Junction *173
Superficial skeletal muscles 1-32 labeled *185 – 186

Study Hints:
Really study SELF – QUIZ questions including Critical Thinking questions. *214 – 215
Look at new muscle functions for muscles 1-32 as well as 10 "new" muscles * think about muscles that are synergists to/antagonists to other muscles that we have learned.
**Spend some serious time studying ALL of muscle contraction! Study that Muscle Contraction Mystery and
Diagram!
