Are skeletal muscles responsible for the pumping action of the heart?
no MyocardiumThere are three types of muscle: skeletal muscles which move the bones, smooth muscle which produces waves (peristalsis) along a tube. For example, the digestive tract and muscle found only in the heart. This is called myo- (muscle) -cardium (heart).
How are the cells in the biceps alike to the cells of the heart?
They are both made up of muscle cells. The heart is made of cardiac muscle, and the biceps are made of skeletal muscle.
What muscle tissue is the tissue of the heart?
Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. The other two types of muscle are smooth and striated (skeletal) muscle.Cardiac muscle, the third kind of muscle (the other two being skeletal and smooth muscle.
What type of of muscle is found only in the heart?
Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle contains the proteins actin and myosin. All the other muscles are smooth or skeletal.
What kind of muscle is responsible for the heart pumping action?
The heart itself is a muscle, however the heart all is made up of different muscles. The muscle knows as the MYOCARDIUM makes up the largest portion of the Heart Wall. The myocardium is made up of the cardiac muscle tissue, which is responsible for the pumping action.
The characteristic reddish brown color of skeletal muscle comes from which substance?
myoglobin gives the muscles the reddish brown color
What type of muscle tissue is responsible for moving most parts of the body?
skeletal
What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
What enzyme is responsible for skeletal muscle relaxation?
acetylcholinesterase
What muscle is responsible for swallowing?
The muscle responsible for swallowing is the skeletal muscle inform of the tongue with the help of the smooth muscles of the esophagus and the pharynx. This is the very first stage of digestion.
What is the Muscle that is predominantly responsible for a movement?
The muscle type responsible for body movements is skeletal muscle. This type of muscle is under voluntary control (unlike cardiac and smooth muscle) meaning that we can consciously control the movements we make. The specific skeletal muscle responsible for movement will depend on what movement is being made.
Give examples of three types of muscles?
Skeletal muscle: Found attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movement. Cardiac muscle: Found in the heart and responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, responsible for involuntary movements like peristalsis.
Is the diaphragm considered a skeletal muscle?
Yes, the diaphragm is considered a skeletal muscle because it is under voluntary control and is responsible for the process of breathing.
What is a skeletal muscle and is it voluntary or involuntary?
The skeletal muscle covers and clings to the body skeleton. It is responsible for body movement and is voluntary because it is under our conscious control unlike the cardiac muscle which is responsible for the heart beat
What type of muscle is found attached to the bones?
The muscle tissue that is attached to and moves the skeleton is called the skeletal muscle.
Is skeletal muscle considered a type of connective tissue?
No, skeletal muscle is not considered a type of connective tissue. Skeletal muscle is a type of muscle tissue that is responsible for movement in the body, while connective tissue is a different type of tissue that provides support and structure to the body.
Type of muscle that is voluntary and striated?
SKELETAL (:
