What are the 3 different muscle types?
The 3 different types of muscle are smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is located on the walls of hollow organs, cardiac muscle is located on the wall of the heart, and skeletal muscle is located on skeletal muscle organs (most organs). Their functions include movement in walls of hollow organs, pumping of blood, and movement of bones, heat production and posture, respectively. Cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary, whereas skeletal muscle is voluntary. Both cardiac and skeletal muscles have striations, but smooth muscle does not.
What type of muscle tissue is only found in the organs?
Most of the organs contain smooth muscle. The exception is the heart, which contains cardiac muscle.
In What organs do you find smooth muscle?
Smooth muscle is found in hollow visceral organs, like the stomach, intestines, uterus, bladder, and blood vessels/arteries. (Smooth muscle doesn't apply to the heart though, that's cardiac muscle)
Is the cardiac muscle branched?
No. Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are two different types of muscle tissue. Smooth muscle does not have striations (or stripes) and is located in the organs. Cardiac muscle is striated (has stripes) and fits together with gap junctions that allow for quick passage.
What are 3 muscles in the body?
Cardiac, smooth and skeletal.
What Cardiac Muscle makes up what organ?
Cardiac muscle is made of cardiac muscle cells. Cardiac muscle is under the control of the autonomous nervous system and is not susceptible to fatigue
What kind of tissue makes up contracting organs?
The kind of tissue that makes up contracting organs is muscle tissue: cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscle.
What type of of muscle is found only in the heart?
Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle contains the proteins actin and myosin. All the other muscles are smooth or skeletal.
Which type of muscle is the heart made of?
cardiac
In which part of the body would you find the cardiac muscle?
cardiac muscles are located in the heart only
Where in your Body can the smooth muscle cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle be found?
smooth muscle- internal organs Cardiac muscle- only in the heart Skeletal muscle- attached to bones in your arms, legs, hands, and face
How many types of muscles are there in humans?
There are three types of muscles:Skeletal muscle- Muscle of exterior (ex. triceps, biceps)Smooth muscle- Muscle of interior organs (ex. lungs, stomach)Cardiac muscle- Muscle of heart (ex. heart)
