What type of sensory receptors are made up of very small skeletal muscle fiber?
muscle spindles
What is the function of osephagus?
the ESOPHAGUS is a tube in the throat which food goes down when you swallow. (swallowing is mostly involuntary because the esophagus is made of smooth muscle, a type of muscle that works without control of the brain.) The food goes down into the stomach. On the top half of the esophagus is a sphincter, as well as on the bottom half. they help close off the esophagus.
What is a fast fiber?
A Fast Oxidative Fiber is a type of muscle fiber with many mitochondria and capillaries. This type has a high myoglobin content. This type of muscle tires more quickly than the slow oxidative fibers and is an intermediate sized muscle. This muscle is good for sprinting and other short, fast-paced activities.
Which muscle type moves food into the stomach?
smooth muscles in the wall of the esophagus.
What type of muscle fiber pennation is the deltoid muscle?
A deltoid muscle is the muscle that forms the rounded part of the shoulder.
How does each type muscle fiber affect muscle strength and endurance?
Cardiac (heart)
The Type of muscle fiber found in the digestive system?
smooth
What is the type of response of any muscle fiber?
all or none
Is Type 1 or Type 2a muscle fiber primarily red?
type 2a type 2a
What type of muscle tissue is in the esophagus?
Smooth muscles make up most of the esophagus, but the upper portion also contains some voluntary or skeletal muscle. The muscles move in a wave like pattern to move food down into the stomach through a process called "peristalsis". At the distal end is the lower esophageal sphincter, a ring of smooth muscle that controls movement of food between the stomach and esophagus.
What kind of tissues or cells is the esophagus made of?
because due to the fact that food is swallowed and transported to the stomach through the esophagus it must be flexible when food goes through and when you swallow, because everything varies in size.
What nutrient is not digested but stimulates intestinal muscle contractions?
The nutrient that is not digested but stimulates intestinal muscle contractions is fiber. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that may be soluble or insoluble.
