What minerals are needed for muscle contraction and conduction of nerve impulses?
phosphorous.
What component is not essential for the process of muscle contraction?
Actomyosin does not seem to be essential for the process of muscle contraction. The most important elements of muscle contraction include potassium and ATP.
Why is atp important in muscles?
ATP is important in muscle contraction. ATP is high energy bond which gives you energy required for muscle contraction.
What is an important ion for muscle contraction?
calcium
What ions are important in muscle contraction and impulse conduction as an action potential reaches a synapse?
Sodium & Calcium.At the synapse, or the motor end plate, acetylcholine opens sodium channels causing sodium influx into the muscle fiber causing depolarization.This depolarization causes calcium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum that initiates muscle contraction by activating sarcomeres.
Which internal structures of animals are specifically adapted to use contraction to cause movement?
Muscle
How the muscle of the heart different from other muscle of the heart?
The heart muscle is different from smooth and skeletal muscles because it does not require a nerve to cause it to contract. The heart has it's own built in conduction system that cause's the automatic contraction and relaxation that is required for circulation. Smooth and Skeletal muscle whether it uses voluntary or involuntary muscle contraction all have innervation to cause the contraction. Sara, RN
What is automaticity of the heart?
The property that allows any cell in the cardiac muscle to begin an action potential, or a cardiac conduction, leading to cardiac contraction.
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 is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction
Constant contraction of a muscle is?
constant contraction of a muscle is called the muscle tone
What is faradic type current?
Faradic current is specifically designed to stimulate muscle contraction through the nerve pathways
