What cells have the ability to respond to stimuli by generating signals such as action potentials?
neurons and muscle cells
When a muscle is unable to respond to stimuli temporarily which period is it in?
The refractory period is when a muscle is temporary unable to respond to stimuli refractory period
What period is a muscle is unable to respond to stimuli temporarily?
The refractory period is when a muscle is temporary unable to respond to stimuli refractory period
What are the four main special functional abilities of muscle that are the basis for muscle response?
Muscle tissue has four main properties: Excitability (ability to respond to stimuli) Contractibility (ability to contract) Extensibility (ability to be stretched without tearing) Elasticity (ability to return to its normal shape).
Which muscle characteristic describes the ability of muscle to respond to a stimulus?
Excitability
Muscle cells gland cells and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called?
effectors
The most distinguishing characteristic of muscle tissue is?
Excitability = the ability to receive and respond to a stimulus Contractility = the ability to shorten Extensibility = the ability to be stretched Elasticity = the ability to resume normal length after contraction or having been stretched.
Which muscle trait is the ability to respond to a stimulus such as a nerve or hormone?
Excitibilty
What is the system that relays commands to skeletal muscles and stimulates glands and other muscle so the organism may continue to live and respond to stimuli?
nervous
What is the ability of a muscle to respond to nerve stimulus called?
neuromuscular efficiency neuromuscular efficiency
What is the System that relays commands to skeletal muscles and stimulates glands and other muscle so that the organism may continue to live and respond to stimuli?
nervous
Does all body cells exhibit irritability to some extent?
Muscle cells are irritable and respond to stimuli. Muscle twitch is defined as contraction and relaxation in the muscle cell. The stimulus needs to be above a certain threshold for the muscle fibres to react. The more the stimulus, the greater the strength of the contraction.
