What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
What regulates poster and coordination of skeletal muscle movement?
The cerebellum regulates both. Posture is maintained by anti-gravity posture muscles, controlled by the cerebellum without conscious perception. Co-ordination of motor outputs is also controlled by the cerebellum.
When one skeletal muscle contracts and it opposing mucsle relaxes it is an example of?
antagonistic muscle action.
Does skeletal muscles move limbs and produce smiles?
Yes, skeletal muscles are responsible for the movement of limbs in the body. They contain muscle fibers that contract and relax, causing the bones they are attached to move. Skeletal muscles also play a role in producing smiles, as they assist in the movement of the muscles in the face that create facial expressions.
What type of tissue in esophagus?
The esophagus is made up of tissue is stratisfied squamous and cuboidal. The cuboidal tissue is in cubes, the width is the same as the height. The trachea has tissue made up of Pseudostrasified epithelia cells and is columnar, higher in height than width
What type of movement does the autonomic system control?
The somatic nervous system regulates skeletal muscle tissue, while the ANS services smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glandular tissue.
What muscle is responsible for swallowing?
The muscle responsible for swallowing is the skeletal muscle inform of the tongue with the help of the smooth muscles of the esophagus and the pharynx. This is the very first stage of digestion.
What components of nerves are involved in skeletal muscle movement?
The motor neurons are responsible in skeletal muscle movement.
What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
What type of tissue is the skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is a striated muscle used to control movement of specific body parts
What do skeletal muscle produce?
movement or heat
What type of muscle causes voluntary movement?
Striated (or skeletal) muscle
Which muscle type is voluntary in action?
The skeletal muscle is the only type of muscle which is voluntary.
What regulates poster and coordination of skeletal muscle movement?
The cerebellum regulates both. Posture is maintained by anti-gravity posture muscles, controlled by the cerebellum without conscious perception. Co-ordination of motor outputs is also controlled by the cerebellum.
What muscle type allows anatomic movement of the extremities?
Skeletal (or striated) muscle
What kind of muscle found inside the alimentary canal?
skeletal - proximal 1/3 of esophagus and anus smooth - middle/distal 1/3 of esophagus through rectum
What are the 3 different muscle types?
The 3 different types of muscle are smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is located on the walls of hollow organs, cardiac muscle is located on the wall of the heart, and skeletal muscle is located on skeletal muscle organs (most organs). Their functions include movement in walls of hollow organs, pumping of blood, and movement of bones, heat production and posture, respectively. Cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary, whereas skeletal muscle is voluntary. Both cardiac and skeletal muscles have striations, but smooth muscle does not.
