What type of muscles are in the uterine wall?
Uterine muscle cells help make up the myometrium, which is the inner layer of the uterine wall. These muscle cells aid in inducing uterine contractions. They support stromal and vascular tissue as well.
What is an Isotonic Contractions?
Isotonic contractions. This happens when the muscle shortens as it contracts
What does calcetonin do?
Calcetonin is a hormone that stimulates the absorption of serum calcium by bone tissue. It is an antagonist of Parathyroid Hormone, which stimulates the release of calcium from bone tissue into the blood stream to make it available for muscle contractions, neural impulses, and assisting in blood clotting factors.Source: Medical-Nursing Care, 3rd ed.
Explain Chemical changes during muscular contractions?
The chemical changes during muscular contractions include conversion of ATP into ADP, break-down of phosphocreatine and muscle glycogen, formation of Fructose diphosphate and lactic acid and resynthesis of creatine phosphate.
What is the Name for smooth muscle coat of uterine tissue?
Myometrium
What neurotransmitter stimulates skeletal muscle contractions?
Acetylcholine
What nutrient is not digested but stimulates intestinal muscle contractions?
The nutrient that is not digested but stimulates intestinal muscle contractions is fiber. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that may be soluble or insoluble.
What stimulates intestinal muscle contractions?
Nicotien or anything chemical which stimulates the Nicotinic receptors.
From oxytocin and prostagladins which increase uterine muscle contraction?
Oxytocin stimulates the uterine muscles to contract and also increases the production of prostaglandins, which increase the contractions further. Manufactured oxytocin is sometimes given to induce labour if it has not started naturally or it can be used to strengthen contractions to aid childbirth.
What type of muscles are in the uterine wall?
Uterine muscle cells help make up the myometrium, which is the inner layer of the uterine wall. These muscle cells aid in inducing uterine contractions. They support stromal and vascular tissue as well.
Do muscle contractions cause menstrual cramps?
No, not quite.Prostaglandins are produced which cause the uterine contractions to push out menstrual flow, in a healthy woman this should not be painful. It's when the prostagladins are overproduced that menstrual cramps occur as these cause blood vessels to contract so cut off oxygen to the muscle.
How do diurnal variation affects body temperature?
during sleep, body metabolism slows down, as do muscle contractions. The body'stemperature is lowest in the morning before metabolism and muscle contractions begin increasing.
What happens to a muscle cell during intense physical activity?
During intense physical activity, glycogen; which is energy stored in muscle cells, is used during intense muscle contractions.
Which muscle can undergo hyperplasia?
Uterine smooth muscle
What process involves muscle contractions that move food through the esophagus molecules?
Different types of muscle contractions
What is an Isotonic Contractions?
Isotonic contractions. This happens when the muscle shortens as it contracts
Does isotonic muscle contractions involve shortening of muscle?
Yes
