Which kind of cell in the human body would have more mitochondria- a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have more mitochondria because they require more energy to contract than skin cells.
What muscle that makes up the heart?
Here you have a special kind of muscle called as cardiac muscles. Cardiac muscle has got fallowing properties. They are automaticity, excitability, conductivity, contractility, rhythmicity, and refractoriness. That means it contracts. It contracts rhythmically. It contracts automatically of it's own. It can be stimulated. It conducts the impulse across the length. Once it contracts, it will not contract for some time again. These properties have many implications. The different types of heart cells contract at different pace. The cells from SA node contract at the rate of about 76 per minute. That of AV node contract at the speed of about 60 per minute. The cells of atrium contract with the speed of in between the both types of cells. The cells of ventricle contract at the speed of about 36 per minute. So the final rate of contraction of the heart is decided by SA node. it is called as pace maker. The impulse has to be conducted across the heart in synchronized manner. For that the heart muscle is designed to conduct the electrical impulse. Once stimulated, the muscle fiber takes some rest. That is needed so that the muscle can function non-stop for years together. The property of excitability is needed so that the muscle can be stimulated by a stimulus.
What kind of tissue is your shinbone?
muscle
What kind of intercellular material is found in connective tissue?
matrix which consists of fibers and ground substance
What kind of muscle can you flex?
Voluntary muscles can be flexed.
What kind of muscle makes your heart?
You call it as cardiac muscles. The muscle fibers contract rhythmically. The muscle fibers are attached to each other end to end. This facilitates the conduction of the impulse. The muscle fiber can be stimulated to give you contraction of the the same.
What kind of muscle tissue has the most mitochondria in it?
Type I muscle fibers
Fibers of the cardiac conduction system are what kind of specalized tissue?
Muscle ( cardiac Muscle)
What kind of muscle cell contract?
Smooth muscle cells contract in response to fluid flow.
What kind of tissue does the heart have in it?
The heart is comprised of specialized cardiac muscle fibers.
What kind of cells in your body can contract?
Muscle cells contract, causing movement and our heartbeat.
Which kind of of muscle fibers enable the muscles to exert force for a long period of time?
Slow Twitch (:
What muscle types are involuntarily controlled?
Skeletal muscle
What kind of illness is charley horse?
Charley horse is a type of muscle spasm that typically occurs in the leg. The muscle spasm causes the muscle to contract by itself and it cannot be relaxed normally.
What kind of tissue is the heart made up of?
Cardiac muscle fibers.
What kind of run is best to get lean legs Sprints or distance?
Distance, hands down. Sprinting will build your fast-twitch muscle fibers, which are typically larger than slow-twitch muscle fibers. You hardly ever see a sprinter with the skinny legs of a distance runner. It just doesn't happen.
What is the homograph for contract?
A homograph is a word with the same spelling as another word, but with a different meaning and possibly a different pronunciation. So the homograph for contract is contract. A contract (CON-tract) is an agreement between two or more people to perform some kind of specified work. To contract (con-TRACT) has several meanings: to contract a muscle (to make the muscle tense); to contract a disease (to get or acquire the disease); to contract a word (to shorten the word or make a contraction of it.)
