Yes! Although we have total control over these muscles, they still need stimulation to contract. The difference with muscles that we don't control is that we decide if we want to make this stimulation.

Skeletal muscles need nerve stimulation for contraction to occur?

Yes, they need nervous system stimulation to move. A person who has been in an accident and cut or damaged nerves to some muscles can not move those. A person who has had polio can have the same damage. The same goes for people with MS.


What muscle can contract without the need for the nervous stimulation?

Smooth & cardiac muscle.


Does glycerinated skeletal muscle fibers need calcium in order to contract?

false


Does glycerinated skeletal muscle fibers need ATP in order to contract?

true


Does glycerinated skeletal muscle fibers nee ATP in order to contract?

no, they need ATP


How does the shape of a cardiac muscle help it do its job?

because of it's shape the skeletal muscle can contract much easier.


What organs are needed to make the muscular system work?

You need your brain to send signals to a skeletal muscle telling it to contract.


What is the correct definition for voluntary muscle?

Voluntary (also known as) skeletal muscles are used to create movement, by applying force to bones and joints; via contraction. They generally contract voluntarily (via somatic nerve stimulation), although they can contract involuntarily through reflexes.muscular system Consists of all the muscles in the body, especially the ones that help you move. skeletal muscle Voluntary muscle that is attached to bones of the skeleton and helps the body move. smooth muscle Involuntary muscle that is found in the walls of internal organs, such as the stomach.


Why do skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment?

Skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment to receive signals from the nervous system and to contract in response to those signals. The physical connection allows for the exchange of nutrients, waste removal, and the delivery of oxygen to the muscle cells. Additionally, the connection allows for the removal of heat generated during muscle contractions.


How does the appearance of smooth muscle differ from that of skeletal muscle when viewed with a microscope?

i need the same answer...-.-


What are muscles skeletal cardiac and smooth?

smooth muscle is used in a train of thought (brain is need in the act) cardiac muscle can be found in the heart skeletal muscle moves your bones


How are voluntary and involuntary muscles different from one another?

There are three muscle types: skeletal muscle which move bones and thereby the body, cardiac muscle which causes the heart to beat and smooth muscle which is found in all hollow organs except the heart. The skeletal muscles are also called voluntary because you must use your mind to move them using the nervous system. Neither the smooth muscles nor the cardiac muscles require thought to move them, but they do need nervous stimulation.
