What else can I help you with?
The command to contract is distributed throughout a muscle fiber by the?
Transverse Tubules
The only tissue in youur body that is able to contract or shorten?
Muscle tissue is the only tissue in the body capable of contracting or shortening. This contraction allows muscles to generate force and produce movement throughout the body. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth, each with its own unique properties and functions.
What initiates the contraction of cardiac muscle?
The contraction of cardiac muscle is initiated by electrical signals from the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinoatrial node, which causes the muscle cells to contract in a coordinated manner, pumping blood throughout the body.
What is needed for living muscle to contract?
A living muscle needs oxygen in the blood and muscle elasticity to contract and move.
What kind of muscle cell contract?
Smooth muscle cells contract in response to fluid flow.
How is energy transferred when an instant cold pack is put on a muscle injury?
Heat energy is transferred by conduction from the muscle to the cold pack.
What is muscle protein?
it is tiny muscle fibers that contract and expand the muscle
Will the leg muscle contract when it is removed from the body and you pinch it?
No, as the muscle is dead (it doesn't contract like while the muscle is still alive either). However, it will contract if you give it an electrical "jump."
What tissue's major function is to contract?
The muscle tissue's main function is to contract.
What type of nerve stimulates muscle cells to contract?
Somatic type of nerves stimulate the muscle cells to contract.
Does a human heart have musule?
Yes, the human heart is composed of muscle tissue known as cardiac muscle. This specialized muscle allows the heart to contract and pump blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle is unique in its structure and function, enabling it to work continuously and efficiently without fatigue.
Does a muscle contract the instant it is stimulated?
no, the muscle does not begin to contract the instant it is stimulated, rather a fraction of a second later!
