What else can I help you with?
When the nervous system signals a muscle to contract the ion channels open?
sodium ion
When the nervous system signals a muscle to contract what ion channels open?
When the nervous system signals a muscle to contract, calcium channels open in the muscle cell membrane. Calcium ions then flow into the muscle cell, triggering a series of biochemical events that eventually lead to muscle contraction.
What tells muscles when to contract?
Muscles contract in response to signals from the nervous system. Motor neurons release neurotransmitters that stimulate muscle fibers to generate a contraction. This process is initiated by electrical impulses called action potentials that travel along the nerves to the muscle cells.
What happens when these muscles contract?
When muscles contract, the brain sends signals through the nervous system to the motor neuron that supplies several muscle fibers. There are different versions of contraction, which includes voluntary and involuntary.
What muscle can contract without the need for the nervous stimulation?
Smooth & cardiac muscle.
Is it true that the nervous system controls how your muscles move your bones?
Yes, that is correct. The nervous system controls muscle movement by sending electrical signals from the brain to the muscles via the spinal cord. These signals trigger the muscles to contract and relax, leading to movement of the bones.
Name a structure that receives signals from autonomic nervous system?
Smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, gland
Which type of muscle can contract without being stimulated by the nervous system?
cardiac muscle tissue
What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?
The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary smooth muscle.
Why do skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment?
Skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment to receive signals from the nervous system and to contract in response to those signals. The physical connection allows for the exchange of nutrients, waste removal, and the delivery of oxygen to the muscle cells. Additionally, the connection allows for the removal of heat generated during muscle contractions.
What system stimulates muscle to contract and interprets information from sensory organs?
The central nervous system.
When does your muscle contract?
Voluntary muscle contraction is controlled by the central nervous system. Voluntary muscle contraction occurs as a result of conscious effort originating in the brain. The brain sends signals, in the form of action potentials, through the nervous system to the motor neuron that innervates several muscle fibers. In the case of some reflexes, the signal to contract can originate in the spinal cord through a feedback loop with the grey matter. Involuntary muscles such as the heart or smooth muscles in the gut and vascular system contract as a result of non-conscious brain activity or stimuli proceeding in the body to the muscle itself.
