The fulcrum lies between the applied force and the resistance

Muscle groups that are responsible for movement of the thigh

Adductor, gluteal, and lateral rotator

Fibrosis

Aging skeletal muscles developed increasing amounts of fibrous connective tissue

The number of satellite cells steadily decreases with age and the

Amounts of fibrous tissue increases

Any convergent muscle the muscle fibers are

Muscles that position or stabilize an organ

The four types of muscles identified by different patterns of organization are

Parallel, convergent, pennate, and circular

An effect of aging on the muscular system

Tolerance for exercise decreases, skeletal muscles become less elastic, skeletal muscles become smaller in diameter, and the ability to recover from muscular injury decreases
