What is the basic unit of muscle?
muscle fiber
The movable part of a muscle is?
The sarcomere is the contractile unit of a muscle fiber.
What is the fundamental functional muscle fiber's unit of contraction?
The smallest contractile unit of a muscle fiber is the sarcomere.It is composed of contractile myofilaments known as actin and myosin.
The motor neuron and the muscle fiber it controls constitute a what?
The motor neuron and the muscle fiber it controls constitute a motor unit. This functional unit is essential to the process of muscle contraction and movement in the body. When the motor neuron sends signals to the muscle fiber, it results in the activation and coordination of muscle fibers to produce movement.
What is the smallest contractile unit of the muscle fiber?
sarcomere
What is the structural unit of muscle contraction?
You should know.
What are the 3 structural components of a neuromuscular response?
The three structural components of a neuromuscular response are the motor neuron, the neuromuscular junction, and the muscle fiber. The motor neuron transmits signals from the brain or spinal cord to the muscle, the neuromuscular junction is where the motor neuron and muscle fiber meet and communicate, and the muscle fiber is the contractile tissue that generates force in response to nerve signals.
The structural and functional unit of skeleton muscle is called?
sarcomere
What repeating units make up a muscle fiber?
sacomeres are a single unit of a muscle fiber multiple sacomeres make up a myofibril
The repeating unit of a skeletal muscle fiber is the?
Myofibrils The sarcomere is the unit of muscular contraction.
A motor neuron together with the muscle fiber it innervates?
it is the motor unit
Why is an individual skeleton muscle cell referred to as a muscle fiber?
An individual skeletal muscle cell is referred to as a muscle fiber because of its elongated, thread-like shape that resembles a fiber. These muscle fibers are multi-nucleated and contain specialized structures called myofibrils, which are responsible for contraction. The term "fiber" underscores the cell's role in forming the overall muscle tissue, emphasizing its function and structural characteristics.
