What muscles is involuntary?
The cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary. The cardiac is found only in the heart and the smooth muscles are found mostly inside the walls of organs.
Is the heart muscles made up of mostly cardiac muscles?
Almost entirely.
What is the part of the body where smooth muscles are found?
Smooth muscles are found in many parts of the body. They are mostly found in the digestion and waste disposal systems of the body. The stomach and intestines are smooth muscles.
The muscles under voluntary control are knowm as?
voluntary muscles....mostly skeletal mauscles
What is the difference of the three types of muscles?
There are three types of muscle tissue found in the human body. There are visceral muscles, which consist of smooth muscle tissue, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and responds to both hormones and neural stimulation. Smooth muscles have no striations, as the nucleus is centrally located. Thus, they are involuntarily controlled. Then, there is cardiac muscle, which is only found in the heart and is also stimulated by neural activity and hormones. Lastly, there are skeletal muscles, which aid in the movement of the body and is mostly attached to bones by means of tendons. These muscles are striated, and are voluntarily controlled. Skeletal muscles can further be sub-divided into two categories: red and white muscles. Red skeletal muscle tissue consists of a chemical not found in the white skeletal muscle called myoglobin. Myoglobin is a protein-like molecule, which aids in the storage of oxygen, which is essential to its function. Thus, this extra molecule is responsible for giving red muscles their coloring.
Are smooth muscles under voluntary control?
Smooth muscles are found in blood vessels and in organs (ie the bladder), and is stimulated by the autonomic nervous system, the control system for involuntary reactions. Smooth muscles can also be controlled by hormones, neurotransmitters and other chemicals such as calcium and potassium. Depending on what chemical binds to the muscles receptor sites will change what type of reaction occurs within the muscle itself. For example if you were frightened, your heart would beat faster, you would breathe deeper -- and not because you wanted to do it, but because your body automatically reacted to the stimulus. That is what the autonomic nervous system relies on -- automatic responses.
What layer of an artery consists mostly of smooth muscles?
the tunica media is made of smooth muscles and elastic fibers.

What organs make up the muscular system?
answ2. Mostly, organs are not part of the muscular system. Organs are such things as glands, kidneys, liver, brain and so on. A couple of muscular organs might be the heart, or the speech organs.on further reflection, I guess that your arteries are muscular, and the automatic peristalsis of stomach, swallowing, bowel movement and so on are all muscular driven.IDk! :( but i think there the muscles, bones,and i dont know the rest, hope that kinda helps
What layer of an artery consists mostly of smooth muscle?
Arterial walls are more muscular than the walls of veins. This muscle is smooth involuntary muscle.
What type of tissue is cardiac tissue?
The heart is made mostly of cardiac muscle.
