Which activity is most likely to be controlled by a smooth muscle?
A smooth muscle is responsible for the contractibility of hollow organs, such as blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract. Going to the bathroom would be controlled by these types of muscles.
What is the name for the rhythmic smooth muscle?
The rhythmic smooth muscle is called the visceral smooth muscle. It is found in the walls of organs such as the intestines, uterus, and blood vessels, and it contracts and relaxes spontaneously to generate rhythmic movements.
A drug that decreases peristalsis would be one that?
decreases contraction in the smooth muscle
What are test versions?
A test version would be an issue of something that is for testing. Most likely it is not the final product.
What is the name of the structure of structures that sperm travel through to get from the epididymus to the ejaculatory duct?
From the epididymus, sperm travels into the vas deferens, two 18-inch tubes composed of smooth muscle and mucosa lined with cilia. (These are the structures that are cut and tied off during a vasectomy, preventing the sperm from moving any further.) The action of the smooth muscle and cilia move the sperm up around the bladder into two ejaculatory ducts, where they will mix with fluid from a seminal vesicle
Which activity is most likely to be controlled by a smooth muscle?
A smooth muscle is responsible for the contractibility of hollow organs, such as blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract. Going to the bathroom would be controlled by these types of muscles.
Give an example of smooth muscle?
An example of smooth muscle would be in your blood vessels.
What Type Of Muscles Aids In The Digestion Of Food?
Smooth muscles are found in the intestines and stomach. If these were skeletal muscles, instead of smooth, you would have to physically think about digesting your food to control digestion, and no food would get digested while you were busy or sleeping!it is the smooth muscles only.Smooth muscle
Which muscle tissue shows no striations?
Smooth muscle Tissue have no striations. (there are 3 types of muscle tissue - Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth) Smooth propels substances along internal passageways involuntarily.
Where would you NOT find smooth muscle?
Respiratory airways
Which type of muscle is most frequent in your bodies?
Probably skeletal muscle but smooth muscle would be a close second.
What type of muscle is the Intestinal wall?
smooth muscles makes up the intestinal wall whereas skeletal muscles would make up your biceps, triceps, and any other part of your body that you consciously control.Involuntary smooth muscle.Smooth muscle lines the intestines, and contracts in waves to push food along.Smooth musclesmooth muscleThe type of muscle that the pushes food down to the intestines is called smooth muscle tissue. This is an involuntary non-straited muscle that is found within the walls of blood vessels.Yes smooth muscles are the muscles found in small intestine
What s the type of muscle tissue found in the walls of many organs and blood vessels in the body?
That would be involuntary or smooth muscles. Voluntary muscles are those which you use at will, like your biceps and triceps. Cardiac muscles are those found in the heart.
What muscle tissue referred to as the muscular system?
Technically the muscular system refers to all three types of muscle tissues; skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. However, the cardiac and smooth muscles can be considered functional units of other systems as well. In the case of the cardiac muscle it would be the cardiovascular system and in the case of smooth muscle it would most likely be the digestive system. I say most likely because the largest amount of smooth muscle is associated with the digestive system and the gastrointestinal tract, but it is also a part of other systems and organs. Here a a few examples: muscular lining of arterioles in the cardiovascular system and the muscular lining of the urinary bladder in the excretory system.
What vessels have smooth muscle in their walls?
Those would be they Arteries and arterioles.
What is the name for the rhythmic smooth muscle?
The rhythmic smooth muscle is called the visceral smooth muscle. It is found in the walls of organs such as the intestines, uterus, and blood vessels, and it contracts and relaxes spontaneously to generate rhythmic movements.
Contraction of the smooth muscle in arterioles would decrease blood pressure?
No it would increase BP, as contraction of the smooth muscle in the arterioles will make the lumen (holes) of the arterioles smaller, restricting blood flow.
