In surface waves the combination of transverse and longitudinal motions produce what?
circular motion
what is the difference between longitudinal and surface waves?
Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.
Is an ocean wave a transverse wave?
Water waves are a special example of a combination of transverse and longitudinal oscillation. The individual particles in a water wave move with a circular motion, therefore they have both a vertical and horizontal component to their movement through the wave i.e up and down (Transverse) and side to side (Longitudinal) components.
When a raindrop hits the surface of a lake circular surface waves form What is true about these surface waves?
The surface waves cannot be classified as transverse or longitudinal waves.
Are light waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal
How are the functions of longitudinal and circular muscles in annelids different?
The longitudinal and circular muscles are antagonistic. This means that they are paired and while one contracts, the other relaxes.
What are the two major groups of body muscles in annelids called?
Circular and Longitudinal muscles.
How are earthworms circular and longitudinal muscles used in locomotion?
When the circular muscles contract, they make the worm skinnier. When the longitudinal muslces contract, they make the worm shorter. This series of movements allows for the worm to move forward.
How do the earthworm maintain its shape?
using circular muscles or use longitudinal muscles to squeeze itself flat
What is the function of the Longitudinal muscles in the GI tract?
The circular muscle layer prevents food from traveling backward and the longitudinal layer shortens the tract. By Ah Mok
Why do some muscles appear to run in different directions?
Some muscles appear to run in different directions because that is their inclinations. The direction may be circular or longitudinal.
Why are muscles arranged in circular and longitudinal layer?
In smooth muscle these transitionally alternating muscle fibers help to serve the actions of peristalsis. As the circular fibers contract the tube (lumen) constricts and as the longitudinal fibers contract it opens up the lumen.
How does an earthworm's circular and longitudinal muscles aid in movement?
Their short bristles or hairs are a great aid to them as well as the peristalsis of their locomotion.
How does muscle coordination enable the earth worm to move?
There will be contractions and expansions of circular and longitudinal muscles passing through the segmented body
Where are muscles on an earthworms?
Earthworm have narrow bands of circular muscle fibers around their bodies and longitudinal muscles that control the length of their bodies located inside the circular muscles. These two sets of muscles, which are attached to the bristle-like setae on the outside of the body, work together to change the length and thickness of the worm so it can move.
Is the stomach muscle involuntary?
It is actually four involuntary muscles. The longitudinal layer, circular layer and oblique layer of the muscularis externa and the pyloric sphincter
How earthworms move though they don't have bones?
Bones are not essential for locomotion . Earthworm move by using circular and longitudinal muscles along with setae and shoe accordion like locomotion .
