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.
Does a muscle contract the instant it is stimulated?
no, the muscle does not begin to contract the instant it is stimulated, rather a fraction of a second later!
What muscle can contract without the need for the nervous stimulation?
Smooth & cardiac muscle.
What is the function of the muscle fibers?
muscle fibers contract the muscles when stimulated.
What do muscles do list two different functions of muscles?
Some muscles (skeletal muscles) will not contract unless stimulated by neurons; other muscles (smooth & cardiac) will contract without nervous stimulation but their contraction can be influenced by the nervous system. Thus, the nervous and muscle systems are closely interconnected.
Before a muscle cell can be stimulated to contract again what must occur?
Repolarization
How are voluntary and involuntary muscle different from each other?
Generally, voluntary muscles are striated and skeletal muscles, while involuntary muscles are smooth muscles and are visceral (located in organs). Voluntary muscles are muscles that can be consciously contracted, while involuntary muscles are muscles that are contracted at certain times or at all times without the conscious consent of the brain.
What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?
The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary smooth muscle.
What channels open when the nervous system signals a muscle to contract?
sodium ion
What system stimulates muscle to contract and interprets information from sensory organs?
The central nervous system.
What make up nervous muscle tissue?
Muscle tissue made up of elongated muscle fibers, fibers that contract in response to stimuli. Nervous Tissue is made up of neurons and neurological cells.
When the nervous system signals a muscle to contract the ion channels open?
sodium ion
