What else can I help you with?
What neurotransmitter stimulates skeletal muscle contractions?
Acetylcholine
Why does walking prevent stagnation of blood in the legs?
The venous circulation of the legs requires muscle contractions to assist with blood return. Walking helps provide this muscle contraction.
What are the three types of contractions of skeletal muscle?
isotonic concentric eccentric isometric
Muscle contracts to move?
the muscles and the bone work together and attached
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.
What muscle skeletal muscles do to move?
Skeletal muscles rely on contractions to move the bone they are attached to so it is contract and relax
Uncontrolled muscle contractions the same as skeletal muscle contractions?
Uhh, no uncontrolled muscle contraction occurs in smooth and cardiac muscles... there are many differences between these two types of muscles; controlled and uncontrolled muscle contraction.....
What are contract muscles?
Smooth Muscle contractions are regulated by calcium ions. The smooth muscle differs from skeletal muscle in that its contracts from all sides.
How does the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle compare to that of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle all contract in response to signals from the nervous system or hormones. However, the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle is different from that of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle contracts more slowly and can sustain contractions for longer periods of time compared to skeletal and cardiac muscle. Additionally, smooth muscle does not have striations like skeletal and cardiac muscle, which gives it a more uniform appearance.
Potassium poisoning causes and symptoms?
Arrhthmyia of the heart, problems with smooth and skeletal muscle contractions; hyperkalemia can even stop the heart muscle.
What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?
The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary smooth muscle.
What type of cells contract to make an animal?
Muscle cells, or myocytes, are the primary cells that contract to facilitate movement in animals. There are three main types of muscle cells: skeletal muscle cells, which enable voluntary movement; cardiac muscle cells, which control heart contractions; and smooth muscle cells, which manage involuntary movements in organs. These cells work together to produce coordinated contractions that enable locomotion, circulation, and various bodily functions.
