What kind of muscles is the heart made of?
cardiac muscles
What class of muscles move food along the digestive tract and keep the heart beating?
Involuntary muscles perform the work of internal organs. In the case of the digestive tract, peristaltic muscles are smooth muscle that surrounds the intestines; the heart uses cardiac muscle, a special kind of striated muscle.
What kind of muscles are cardiac muscle?
muscles that relate to the heart
What does exercise have to do with your heart?
It has to do with your heart because when you exercise, your heart beats faster every time and it tells when you're working hard or not. When your heart beats too fast, it means you are working too hard and you might have to take a break. But if your heart isn't beating to fast, then it means you're not working that hard. If your heart is beating not too hard or not too slow, then you would be in good shape. Sometimes when you work too hard, your heart may have some problems and start having some kind of stroke or something.
Most of your muscles are striated skeletal muscles but you also have smooth muscles Which of these organs has a third type a striated kind?
Heart
What type of muscle is used for heart beating and food digestion?
The smooth muscles in the walls of the digestive system contract to keep food moving through the alimentary canal. In the small intestine, there are circular and longitudinal muscles which together produce the pinching and squeezing movement we call peristalsis. The heart itself is made of muscle, a special kind called cardiac muscle, and its contractions are what pushes the blood around.
What kind of muscles are found covering your skeleton?
Skelatal muscles. there are three types of muscles Smooth (linining the digestive system) Cardiac (your heart) and Skelatal (triceps biceps pecs)
What is the difference between skeltal muscles and cardiac muscles?
1 is connected also the cardiac muscles are the only of its kind to make the heart move and pump blood to where it needs to go. smooth muscles are conected to the bones.
What muscle tissue is the tissue of the heart?
Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. The other two types of muscle are smooth and striated (skeletal) muscle.Cardiac muscle, the third kind of muscle (the other two being skeletal and smooth muscle.
Does your brain stop working when you are asleep?
No. It goes in to a kind of stand by mode because it has to keep things like your heart working.
Why does your heart beat faster when you work out or exercise?
When you exercise you breathe, and your heart beats faster so that it can pump more blood around you body to keep you moving. When you work out, you are moving/using all the muscles of your body. Muscles require oxygen and energy (calories) to continue to respond to your directions like walking or jogging or any other kind of activity. To ensure that the energy and oxygen reach all the necessary blood vessels, the heart would have to increase its pace. The more strenuous your workout, more would be the oxygen requirement and hence the brain would instruct the heart to beat faster to ensure that the muscles are not fatigued because of lack of oxygen. This is why your heart starts beating faster when you indulge in any form of physical activity. The more strenuous your activity, higher would be the heart beat rate.
What kind of blood vessels are helped by contraction of skeletal muscles?
Both veins and arteries. The contracting muscles on all sides of the vessels squeeze the blood along in the dire tion it is travelling, either away from (arteries) or back to (veins) the heart. This helps the heart so that it doesn't have to do all the hard work itself. In other words exercise is good for your heart. Medicine calls it the skeletal muscle pump.
