Who do active cells have large numbers of mitochondria?
Skeletal muscle cells,cardiac muscle cells,sperm cells
Which type of muscle is multinucleated striated and in cylinder form?
Skeletal muscle.
Which of these cells are likely to have multiple nuclei skeletal muscle cardiac muscle smooth muscle or neuron?
skeletal smooth muscle neuron
What are 3 type stuff of musclea tissue?
The three different types are the skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. The cardiac muscles are ONLY found in the heart area, the skeletal is the muscle that moves the bones and the smooth muscle is in most of your main organs.
Is Heart made up of striated or non striated muscles?
Heart muscle is striated but not in the same way that skeletal muscle is. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart.Cardiac and skeletal muscle are similar in that both appear to be striated in that they contain sarcomeres. In striated muscle, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle, the actin and myosin filaments each have a specific and constant length on the order of a few micrometers, far less than the length of the elongated muscle cell (a few millimeters in the case of human skeletal muscle cells).The filaments are organized into repeated subunits along the length. These subunits are called sarcomeres. The sarcomeres are what give skeletal and cardiac muscles their striated appearance of narrow dark and light bands, because of the parallel arrangement of the actin and myosin filaments.However, cardiac muscle has unique features relative to skeletal muscle. For one, the myocytes are much shorter and are narrower than the skeletal muscle cells, being about 0.1 millimeters long and 0.02 millimeters wide .Furthermore, while skeletal muscles are arranged in regular, parallel bundles, cardiac muscle connects at branching, irregular angles.Anatomically, the muscle fibers are typically branched like a tree branch. In addition, cardiac muscle fibers connect to other cardiac muscle fibers through intercalcated discs and form the appearance of a syncytium (continuous cellular material).These intercalcated discs, which appear as irregularly-spaced dark bands between myocytes, are a unique and prominent feature of cardiac muscle .
Does cardiac muscle have more mitochondria and depend less on a continual supply of oxygen than does skeletal muscle?
no
What are similarities between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
cardiac is cardiac and skeletal is skeletal.
Who do active cells have large numbers of mitochondria?
Skeletal muscle cells,cardiac muscle cells,sperm cells
What percentage of cardiac muscle is made up of mitochondria?
As per Marieb (2007) 25%, as apposed to 2% in skeletal muscle.
What is the innermost part of the muscle?
There are two types of muscle in the body. The Cardiac Muscle and the Skeletal Muscle. The skeletal muscle is made up of intrafusal and extrafusal fibers. The Muscle Belly is made up entirely of extrafusal fibers (even in the deepest parts). The intrafusal fibers are located throughout the muscle. The cardiac muscle is distinct from skeletal muscle, one of the main differences is the amount of mitochondria it has is increased, and so technically at the deepest part of cardiac muscle is mitochondria (but there are other components as well).
What are the 3 subtypes of muscle tissue?
Striated,smooth,and skelital cardiac, skeletal, and smooth
What are some different types of muscles?
There are three muscle types, skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal and cardiac are both striated muscle, whereas smooth muscle is not.
Why do same cells contain many mitochondria?
Skeletal muscle cells, for instance, contain many mitochondria because the energy consumed in the contraction of the sarcomere is enormous. Skin cells, for instance, contain much less mitochondria as the cellular work the need to do is minimal compared to skeletal muscle cells.
How is cardiac muscle similar to stomach smooth muscle?
Cardiac muscle is similar to smooth muscle in that both are involuntary. Cardiac muscle is similar to skeletal muscle because they are both striated.
Compare and contrast skeletal cardiac and smooth muscles?
Cardiac muscle uses aerobic respiration which is rich in myoglobulin, glycogen, and very large mitochondria that fills over 25% of the cell. Skeletal muscle only 2% of the cell. In turn makes cardiac muscle highly resistant to fatigue.
Which muscle tissue has several nuclei per cell?
Smooth muscle tissue
What muscle tissue is multinucleated?
skeletal muscles
