What else can I help you with?
The repeated contractions of cardiac muscle are called?
Heartbeats are the repeated contraction of cardiac muscles.
What is a rhythmic contraction?
A rhythmic contraction refers to a repeated pattern of muscle contractions at regular intervals. This can occur in various muscles in the body, including the heart muscle during the cardiac cycle. Rhythmic contractions are important for fundamental physiological processes such as pumping blood or generating movement.
Are most cardiac muscles controlled directly by the nervous system?
No, most cardiac muscles are not directly controlled by the nervous system. The cardiac muscles have their own intrinsic pacemaker called the sinoatrial (SA) node that generates electrical impulses and coordinates the contraction of the heart. While the nervous system can influence the rate and strength of the heart's contractions, it does not have direct control over the cardiac muscles.
What is the pattern of repeated muscle contractions called?
a spasm
What are heart muscle cells called?
They are called cardiac muscles.
The difference between the structure of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?
One key difference between cardiac and skeletal muscles is that skeletal muscles are controlled by the nervous system, while cardiac muscles move involuntarily. In addition, cardiac muscles are only found in the heart, while skeletal muscles are found throughout the entire body.
What is the sudden and immediate cessation of cardiac contractions?
I'm not sure what kind it is but its called an arrhythmia.
What are all the cardiac muscles?
The cardiac muscle is the heart (myocardium). Although inside the heart there are smaller muscles that are attached to the flaps of the valves called the Papillary muscles.
Are muscles connected to bones by strong muscles called cardiac?
No! muscles are connected to bones by tendons.
The voluntary muscles of the muscular system is called?
cardiac muscle
How many muscles are there in the human body which you can not control?
You can not control the smooth muscles as well as cardiac muscles of your body. They are called as involuntary muscles.
What is the movement in your heart called?
The movement in your heart is called cardiac contraction or cardiac activity. This process involves the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles, primarily the atria and ventricles, which facilitates blood circulation throughout the body. The electrical impulses generated by the heart's conduction system coordinate these contractions, ensuring efficient blood flow.
