What is the building blocks of cells control your specific characteristics?
nucleotides
What specific type of tissue are Juxtaglomerular cells derived?
smooth muscle
Muscle tissue has four characteristics what are they?
Contractility - the ability of a muscle to shorten. Extensibility - the ability to lengthen. Elasticity - the ability to return to their original shape. And, Excitability - can be triggered by electrical stimulation.
How would you describe the cells of the cardiac muscle?
What is one of the most identifiable characteristics of cardiac tissue
Examples of specialized animal cells?
Specialized animal cells are cells found in animals that perform specific functions and only those specific functions. Examples include nerve cells, muscle cells and red blood cells.
Are the cells in an animal are all the same?
No. Cells are very specific to their tasks and are not the same. Muscle cells cannot perform the function of nerve cells, and so on.
What makes muscle cells specialized?
Muscle cells, like all cells, are specialised to carry out their specific functions. Muscle cells need relatively large numbers of mitochondria. This is because they respire more than most other types of cell, in order to release the energy for muscle contraction, and hence movement.
What types of cells contracts to move an animal?
muscle cells...
What are specialized groups of cells that are organized to perform specific functions?
In an adult organism most cells are specialized (only stem cells aren't). The types of specialized cells include blood cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, skin cells, liver cells, etc. Cells are orgainzed into organs, which collectively form bodies.
How are individual muscle cells different from the muscle tissue in the bicep muscle?
Muscle cells are smaller than muscle tissues.
Which situation is the least likely to result in a new inherited characteristics?
mutations which occur in muscle cells and skin cells
Do smooth muscles have branched cells?
No, cardiac muscle cells are branched but skeletal muscle cells are linear and do not branch
