Name types of muscles in animals?
Cardiac (heart muscle)Smooth (blood vessels, organs)Skeletal (body movement)
What is the purpose of the muscle system?
Muscles allow the body to move. There is your basic answer. To give more information, you have three types of muscles. They are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. Your skeletal muscles are attached to your skeletal system as the name implies. The smooth muscles are all muscles that aren't skeletal muscles or cardiac muscles such as your diaphragm, which controls breathing, and stomach, which causes the stomach's contraction and expansion. Your cardiac muscles control the heart's beat. So as far as the purpose of the muscles system, is to keep you alive. Without it, you could not move, digest food, or circulate blood throughout your body.

Name the 3 types of muscle?
smooth muscle, cardiac (say: kar-dee-ak) muscle, and skeletal (say: skel-uh-tul) muscleThere are three types of muscles. They are skeletal muscles which are voluntary, (diaphragm, muscles of limbs, other muscles that are associated with movement ), smooth muscles which are involuntary (tunica media of blood vessels, organs, others associated with sustaining life), and cardiac muscle, which is involuntary (only found in heart). Skeletal and cardiac muscles are also striated and have striations while smooth does not. The skeletal is also multinucleated while smooth and cardiac only has one nucleus per cell.Smooth, Cardiac, and Skeletal are the three muscle typesskeletal,smooth,cardiacskeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscleskeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle.They are the cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscles.The three basic types of muscles are: voluntary muscles, cardiac muscles, and involuntary muscles.The three types of muscular types are Smooth muscle, Cardiac muscle, and Skeletal muscle.
Name a skeletal muscle in the leg?
The thigh has three sets of strong muscles: the hamstring muscles in the back of the thigh, the quadriceps muscles in the front, and the adductor muscles on the sides.
What are the name of the muscles in the muscular system?
There are three different muscles * skeletal muscle(moves bones) * smooth muscle(moves organs and blood vessels) * cardiac muscle(heart)
Are smooth muscles under voluntary control?
Smooth muscles are found in blood vessels and in organs (ie the bladder), and is stimulated by the autonomic nervous system, the control system for involuntary reactions. Smooth muscles can also be controlled by hormones, neurotransmitters and other chemicals such as calcium and potassium. Depending on what chemical binds to the muscles receptor sites will change what type of reaction occurs within the muscle itself. For example if you were frightened, your heart would beat faster, you would breathe deeper -- and not because you wanted to do it, but because your body automatically reacted to the stimulus. That is what the autonomic nervous system relies on -- automatic responses.
Smooth muscles under involuntary control?
yes. Smooth muscles are another name for involuntary muscles.
What is the name of the most common smooth muscle?
Skeletal muscle
Name the two parts of the skeletal system?
The two main divisions of the skeletal system are the axial skeletal system and the appendicular skeletal system.
What is another name for striated muscle?
You can say skeletal muscles.
