What else can I help you with?
Peristalsis the squeezing action of the digestive muscle is an example of what type of muscle?
Smooth muscles. These muscles are not striated and are involuntary.
What types of muscles are striated striped muscles skeletal muscles smooth muscles or involuntary muscles?
Skeletal muscles.
What organ has involuntary and striated muscles?
The heart as both involuntary and striated muscles. The striations are similar skeletal muscles. Heart muscles are involuntary like the muscles seen in the digestive tract, called smooth muscle.
What is the body's muscular system and what three types of muscles does it include?
The three types of muscles are skeletal (striated, voluntary; e.g., biceps brachii), cardiac (striated, involuntary; i.e., myocardium), and smooth muscles (smooth, involuntary; e.g., gut).
What are the two types of muscle s?
There are smooth and striated muscles. Smooth muscles are involuntary and striated are voluntary. Cardiac muscles (the one that makes up the human heart) can also be considered its own category.
What are the key differences between striated and smooth muscle in terms of their structure and function?
Striated muscles have a striped appearance due to the arrangement of their fibers, while smooth muscles lack this striped pattern. Striated muscles are voluntary and under conscious control, while smooth muscles are involuntary and work automatically. Striated muscles are found in skeletal muscles, while smooth muscles are found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels.
What type of muscle that is involuntary and not straightened?
1. You probably mean not "striated" and the answer is smooth muscle. 2. Appendix
Two main muscle fibers?
Muscle fibers can be smooth or striated. Smooth muscle is often involuntary and line the blood vessels and gastrointestinal tract. Striated muscles may be voluntary, such as skeletal muscle, or involuntary such as cardiac muscle.
Smooth muscles are sometimes called?
Involuntary Muscle Immerse yourself medical language, page 431: "Smooth muscles are involuntary, nonstriated muscles."
Are involuntary muscles striated?
yes
Are smooth muscles striated or smooth?
Smooth muscles are not striated, unlike skeletal muscles which have a striped appearance due to the arrangement of actin and myosin fibers. Smooth muscles are more uniform in structure and lack the striations seen in skeletal muscles.
Where is smooth muscle and what are its functions?
Smooth muscles are an involuntary non-striated muscles. It is divided into two sub-groups; the Single unit (unitary) and multiunit smooth muscle Hope this helps! :)
