Common mistakes in Kinds of movement and muscle types
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Classifying movements by the body region rather than by the structure producing them.
- Treating all striated muscle as voluntary skeletal muscle.
- Assumes passive connective tissues such as ligaments actively contract.
- Assigns limb movement to smooth muscle, or ciliary clearance to muscle.
