Irregular transverse thickenings of the sarcolemma?
Irregular transverse thickenings of the sarcolemma connect cardiac muscle fibers to neighboring muscle fibers. The gap junctions that occur with irregular transverse thickening of the sarcolemma allow the myocardium to contract as a single unit.
What body parts work in pairs to pull your bones in different directions?
They are the muscles. Muscles contract in pairs to move the parts across the joint. One muscle contract with more power. The opposite muscle contracts with less power and get stretched over to allow the first muscle to act.
What molecule directly supplies energy to myosin to allow the filaments to contract?
ATP
What is the function of the neuromuscular junction is to?
Includes the axon terminal of a motor neuron plus the motor end plate of a muscle fiber. Is where the axons of motor nerves meet the muscle & transmit messages from the brain which cause the muscle to contract & relax.
What is an example of a involuntary muscle?
The Drug released as Viagra, targets an involuntary groin muscle in men. When taken it relaxes that muscle to allow the flow to pass and correcting e.d. Temporarily.
What is the part of the muscle fiber that allows the fiber to contract?
The sacromere with the proteins actin and myosin allow the muscle cell (fiber) to contract.
Which type of human body tissue can shorten or contract to allow movement?
Muscle
What does muscle tissue allow us to do?
Muscle tissues allow the human body to move its limbs and to move parts of the organs. Muscle tissues contract or expand in order to provide the required motion.
Is it true The Antagonist muscle to the Biceps is the Deltoids?
No it is not true, the antagonist muscle to the biceps is the triceps. You have to think of what muscles will have to release in order to allow contraction, another example would be when the quadriceps contract, your hamstrings must release otherwise the work of the muscles would contradict one another.
What works in pairs to pull your your bones in different directions?
They are the muscles. Muscles contract in pairs to move the parts across the joint. One muscle contract with more power. The opposite muscle contracts with less power and get stretched over to allow the first muscle to act.

What type of muscle tissue has a gap junction?
Cardiac muscle tissue has gap junctions to allow impulses to travel quickly though the tissue so the two atria can contract as one and the two ventricles can contract as one.
What body part works in pairs to pull your bones in different directions?
They are the muscles. Muscles contract in pairs to move the parts across the joint. One muscle contract with more power. The opposite muscle contracts with less power and get stretched over to allow the first muscle to act.
How can I help my muscle ache ?
First of all, one should get into a icy bathe to contract the muscle. Next, try not to strain the affected muscles part and allow it to rest for a few days.
Would you be studying anatomy physiology if you investigated how muscles shorten?
Studying the actual structures that allow muscles to contract would be considered anatomy, but studying what these structures do in order to cause a muscle to contract is then physiology.
Would you be studying anatomy or physiology if you investigated how muscles shorten?
Studying the actual structures that allow muscles to contract would be considered anatomy, but studying what these structures do in order to cause a muscle to contract is then physiology.
Which tissue allow the body to move by stretching and contracting?
The type of tissue that allows or produces movement is muscle tissue.
