bind muscle fibers together at the neuromuscular synapse.

bind actin and myosin molecules together.

separate one muscle fiber from another to facilitate partial contraction of a muscle.

do none of the above.

2)The lacrimal glands

are located in pockets of the lacrimal bone.

produce watery, slightly alkaline secretions.

function only during stress.

produce less fluid than the ocular conjunctiva.

All of the answers are correct.

3)The oblique and rectus muscles do which of the following?

occur in the neck.

provide walls for the abdominal cavity.
