What tissues cells shorten and exert force?
The cell of the muscle tissue shorten to exert force. These tissues will support movement of the various muscles in the by exerting force.
Is glycogen stored in muscle cells is used primarily to provide glucose for red blood cells?
Doubtful. One would think that any glycogen stored in muscle cells would be producing mitochondrial ATP for use in the sarcomere, the muscle contraction unit.
Muscle tissue consists of cells that are highly specialized for the function of?
Contraction.
The force of a muscle contraction is not affected by?
the amount of ATP in the muscle cells
How are cheek cells different from muscle cells?
Skeletal muscle cells are very thin, and lean. They are designed for contraction and expansion.
What energy sources for the contraction of muscle cells?
ATP
Why do muscle cells need to be able to take up glucose rapidly?
Because the energetic demands could be high, especially in red fibers with a lot of mitochondria and haemoglobin. They need to convert glicose to ATP to shorten and in muscle contraction and lengthen as well.
What does the contraction of cells in muscle tissue allow muscles to do?
movement
A group of conducting cells control heart muscle contraction and is known as the?
pacemaker cells
Tissue has elongated cells that shorten and cause movement?
Muscle tissue contracts or shortens, allowing movement.
How do muscles move?
Muscles move by contraction. When the cells shorten, the muscle pulls on the ligaments that connect the bones and the movable body parts. Depending on how a skeletal muscle acts, it may be classified as a flexor (decreases angle to joint) or an extensor (increases angle, straightening the joint).
What is the function of the muscle cells in an animal?
Locomotion , movement , contraction etc .
