Absolutely. Some examples include shivering, muscle spasms, muscle cramps, changing body positions during sleep, and breathing (which is voluntary up to a point, then it happens involuntarily to keep you from dying).
There are also two different skeletal muscles in your middle ear that are completely under autonomic (involuntary) control.
What else can I help you with?
Can skeletal muscle be tetanised?
Yes, because of the short refractory period of skeletal muscle (compared to cardiac muscle), skeletal muscle can be restimulated before the muscle is completely relaxed. If repeated enough times, the contractions fuse together i.e. they become tetanised.
How are skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle different?
Your cardiac muscle never gets tired, and it is the only muscle in it's category. Your skeletal muscle gets tired many times, and it has many other skeletal muscles in it's category. Your cardiac muscle is also a lot stronger than you skeletal muscle.Sorry, also your heart is an involuntary muscle. We have no control over it. Whereas skeletal muscles are voluntary, we decide to move them or not.
The difference between the structure of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?
One key difference between cardiac and skeletal muscles is that skeletal muscles are controlled by the nervous system, while cardiac muscles move involuntarily. In addition, cardiac muscles are only found in the heart, while skeletal muscles are found throughout the entire body.
What happens to the strength of contraction during wave summation?
It increases about to about four times greater than a normal contraction for skeletal muscle.
What is the significance of a slightly elevated creatine kinase blood test presumed not cardiac related?
cpk enzymes are found in cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and the brain, cpk will be elevated 10 to 25 times the normal level following a myocardial infarction, they will also be elevated after a trauma to skeletal muscle and in progressive muscular dystrophy, cpk can be elevated after strenuous exercise.
What is the muscle tissue that is under conscious control?
There are three types of muscle, Smoothe, Skeletal and Cardiac. Smooth muscle is the type that is found in the viscera of the body and is involved in all the actions we do not have time to think about all the time so is under the control of the Autonomic Nervous System. The skeletal muscle is the type that moves the joints asn is named fof its connection to the bones of the body which skeletal muscles act on. This is the type that is involved in the finer actions that you must think about to perform and so these are the muscles under conscious control. The cardiac muscle is similar to the skeletal muscle in structure but is can generate its own rhythmic contraction under the influence of autonomic nervous action
Can smooth muscle maintain an even amount of tension?
Smooth muscle tissue is able to maintain an even amount of tension for periods of times. This is helpful in its function of expelling the contents of an organ.
Which tissue of the chicken is commonly referred to as the meat?
The skeletal muscle (muscle associated with the bones) is that part of a chicken that is generally called meat. Chicken is the most common type of poultry n the world and has been described as a food since Babylonian times (600BC). in 2012, 9 billion broilers were produced for meat.
What are the three types of muscels?
There are 3 main types of muscle. 1. skeletal muscle - this is what everyone think of when we think of muscles, it is what makes us move our joints by flexing and relaxing pairs of muscles. 2. smooth muscle - this is the muscle in side the arterial walls, they can constrict to stop of decrease blood flow to a certain area of the body. Smooth muscle is also used in other places like glands and ducts. 3. cardiac muscle - this muscle is only found in the heart its special because it never gets tired (does not produce CO2 or lactic acid) because electrical currents can travel through it. whch means it can beat millions of times in your life time without needing a rest
How are voluntary and involuntary muscle different from each other?
Generally, voluntary muscles are striated and skeletal muscles, while involuntary muscles are smooth muscles and are visceral (located in organs). Voluntary muscles are muscles that can be consciously contracted, while involuntary muscles are muscles that are contracted at certain times or at all times without the conscious consent of the brain.
Explain the relationship between the muscular and the skeletal system in the way they function?
The skeletal system includes the bones that are moved by the muscles. The muscles are connected or attached to the bones by tendons. The muscles pull on the bones, approximating certain attachments & many times causing the bones to act like levers.
Which muscle contract about 70 times a minute?
cardiac muscle
