The somatic nervous system issues somatic motor commands that?
contractions of skeletal muscle
Which type of muscle CANNOT contract without being stimulated by the nervous system?
Cardiac muscle. Unlike skeletal and smooth muscle, the contraction of cardiac muscle is involuntary and requires stimulation from the nervous system. This ensures that the contractions of the heart are synchronized and coordinated.
Do skeletal muscles control the movements of organs?
The skeletal muscle converts signals from the nervous system into movement via muscle contractions. Muscles, like the biceps and triceps, are the organsof the skeletal muscular system
Subdivision of the pns that controls voluntary activities such as the activation of skeletal muscle?
the Somatic nervous system
What neurotransmitter stimulates skeletal muscle contractions?
Acetylcholine
What are smooth muscle contractions?
Spindle shaped by faireena singh
Which muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and most glands
What controls your smooth muscle?
RECRUITMENT Recruiting small and medium muscle fibers
Why does the ANS not control the skeletal muscle?
because skeletal muscle is voluntary, the autonomic nervous system is that of involuntary impulses
What are the three types of contractions of skeletal muscle?
isotonic concentric eccentric isometric
Muscle contracts to move?
the muscles and the bone work together and attached
Can skeletal muscle be tetanised?
Yes, because of the short refractory period of skeletal muscle (compared to cardiac muscle), skeletal muscle can be restimulated before the muscle is completely relaxed. If repeated enough times, the contractions fuse together i.e. they become tetanised.
