What else can I help you with?
These kind of muscles are atached to bones by thick band of tissue called?
Muscles are connected to bones by strong connective tissue called ligaments.
What is thick bands of connective tissue called?
Thick bands of tissue attached to muscle are called tendons.
What is the thick layer of the heart wall that contains contractile cardiac muscle tissue is the?
The thick layer of the heart wall that contains contractile cardiac muscle tissue is the myocardium. The layer of the heart wall synonymous with the visceral layer of the serous pericardium is epicardium.
What is the percentage of muscle tissue?
A single muscle fiber may contain 15 billion thick filaments.
The thick layer of the heart wall that contains contractile muscle tissue is the?
myocardium
How are muscles connected to bone?
Muscles are connected to bones by thick tissue called tendons. Tendons are a flexible but inelastic cord that connects muscle and bone.
What is the outside layer of the skin called thin tissue or thick tissue?
Epithelial tissue
What is the thick sheet of muscle that assists us when we breath?
The thick sheet of muscle that helps us breathe is called the diaphragm.
The end of the muscle that moves when a muscle contracts?
Histological PerspectiveBoth ends of the muscle are pulled together. This is because each muscle fiber is divided into contractile units called sarcomeres. Each sarcomere is composed of layers of thin and thick filaments, Actin and Myosinrespectively. The thick filaments, myosin, are located in the center of the sarcomere, a region called the A-Band. On either side of each A-Band, is a region called the I-Band. The I-Band is primarily composed of the thin filaments (Actin), although the thin filaments do overlap with the thick filaments within a sub region of the A-band called the zone of overlap.As the muscle contracts the thick filaments pull the thin filaments together on either side, resulting in the apparent contraction of the muscle on both sides.Gross Anatomical Perspective.However, because a muscle is anchored at the origin of the stationary bone while its other end attaches at the insertion of the articulating bone and the net force of the contracting muscle pulls the insertion of the muscle to its origin.It follows that: The correct answer is toward the origin.
What is the wall of a artery called?
Walls of arteries are made up of different cells, muscle, and connective tissue and is very thick. The walls have to be thick because the pressure from the blood is so great that without the thickness, the walls would easily rupture, which would be fatal.
What do you call the thick bands that pull on bones as a muscle contracts?
Those are called tendons. Tendons are tough bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones, allowing the muscles to pull on the bones and create movement.
What is the thick column of nerve tissue that links the brain to most of the nerves called?
The Spinal Cord is the thick column of nerve tissue that links the brain to most of the nerves.
