Read this article about striated muscles.  Then, answer the questions on the right.

Running, jumping, and riding your bike all require your leg bones to move.  What makes these bones move?  Bones can't move themselves.  That is the job of the striated muscles.        Striated muscles are also called skeletal muscles since their job is to move the skeleton.  They are part of the muscular system.  The word striated means striped.  It comes from the light and dark muscle tissue that makes striated muscles look striped.        Striated muscles are attached to bones by tissues called tendons.  Tendons are like stretchy cords that move as the muscle moves causing the bone to move also.  Our striated muscles and tendons work as a team to move the bones of our skeleton.

1. What makes my fingers move when I type? R// the striated muscles. 2.  What does the word striated mean? R// striped. 3.  Are these explicit or implicit answers? R// one explicit, one implicit.
