of a presynaptic cell to the beginning of an action potential in the

ways in which muscle attach to bone
i- i- i- i- i- i- i-i- i- Indirect: tendons attach muscle i- i- i- i-



to bone

Direct: fleshy attachment to bone i- i- i- i-




Some skeletal muscles do not insert on bone, but in dermis of the skin
i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i- i-




how tendons attach muscle to bone
i- collagen fibers fibers of endo-,
i- i- i- i- i-i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



peri-, and epimysium continue into the tendon, the tendon merges into

-aponeurosis: tendon is a broad, flat sheet i- i- i- i- i- i-




origin and insertion definition
i- i- i- i-i- i- Origin: bony attachment at stationary i- i- i- i- i-



end of muscle

intrinsic vs extrinsic musclesi- Intrinsic: contained within a region
i- i- i-i- i- i- i- i- i- i-



(both origin and insertion there)

Conductivity: local electrical change triggers a wave of excitation that

travels along the muscle fiber
