This document provides instructions for a laboratory exercise on the muscular system. Students are asked to label diagrams of muscles in the head and neck region and muscles of the anterior and posterior body. They are also to complete tables identifying the actions of head and neck muscles and comparing the characteristics of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissues. The goal is for students to learn to name skeletal muscles and understand the differences between muscle fiber types.

1.) Label the skeletal muscles of the head and neck region:
2.) Fill the table below:
Muscles of the Head and Neck Action/Function
Occipitalis Orbicularis oculi Orbicularis oris Buccinator Zygomaticus Frontalis Temporalis Masseter Platysma Sternocleidomastoid 3.) Label the skeletal muscles of the body (anterior and posterior view) 4.) Fill the table to compare the characteristics of the three types of muscle tissues.
Muscle Tissue Type Number of Striations? Voluntary Location/s in the body
nuclei (Yes or No) Contraction? where it is found (Yes or No) 1) Skeletal Muscle Tissue 2) Cardiac Muscle Tissue 3) Smooth Muscle Tissue
