Muscular System Latin Root Word Worksheet

This Latin and Greek root word worksheet will help anatomy and physiology students identify and define muscular system terms. The activity covers the following words: myocyte, myofibril, sarcolemma, sarcomere, sarcoplasmic reticulum, endomysium, perimysium, epimysium, actin, myosin, synergists, antagonists, flexor, extensor, cardiac (muscle), visceral (muscle), striated (muscle), and tonus.

This three-page activity has the same directions as my other Latin root word worksheet publications.

• Students first are directed to slash each compound word into its prefix, root, and suffix.
• Then students are directed to sequentially write the English meaning of each part in between forward slashes on the top numbered line.
• Finally, students are directed to accurately define the term on the designated lines.

I provided a complete key with the answers in red font. This PDF file will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC app.
