Striated muscles are located in the walls of internal organs such as the digestive tract?
Actually, striated muscles are typically found in the skeletal muscles of the body responsible for voluntary movements, while smooth muscles are located in the walls of internal organs like the digestive tract to facilitate involuntary movements, such as peristalsis.
Do smooth muscles bring about movements by pulling on bones across movable joints?
No, smooth muscles are not responsible for movements across movable joints. Smooth muscles are found in the walls of hollow organs such as the blood vessels and the digestive tract. Skeletal muscles, which are attached to bones across movable joints, are responsible for producing movements by pulling on bones.
Do skeletal muscles control the movements of organs?
The skeletal muscle converts signals from the nervous system into movement via muscle contractions. Muscles, like the biceps and triceps, are the organsof the skeletal muscular system
Do muscles protect the organs?
Muscles help protect organs by providing a layer of support and cushioning around them. In the case of skeletal muscles, they also help stabilize the body to prevent damage to internal organs during physical activities or impact. Additionally, muscle contractions can also assist in moving substances through organs, such as peristalsis in the digestive tract.
Are cardiac muscles considered smooth muscles?
No, cardiac muscles are not considered smooth muscles. Cardiac muscles are a specialized type of muscle found in the heart that is striated (has a striped appearance under a microscope) and functions involuntarily. Smooth muscles, on the other hand, are found in organs such as blood vessels and the digestive tract, and do not have striations.
What is the strongest muscle in the GI tract organ?
The stomach has the thickest walls and the strongest muscle in all the GI tract organs. : )

The movement of food through the digestive tract is regulated by?
The movement of food through the digestive tract is regulated by muscles. Muscles produce a narrowing which pushes the food through each of the digestive organs until it reaches the entrance of the stomach.
What types of muscle work without being prompted by the conscious part of the brain?
These muscles are called involuntary muscles. They are found in all hollow organs such as your digestive tract.
What muscles make up walls of most internal organs?
Much of our internal organs is made up of smooth muscles. Smooth muscles make up the walls of many organs; eg bladder, gallbladder, arteries, and veins, digestive tract and oesophagus. The smooth muscles are controlled by hormones and the nervous system. Smooth muscles are often called involuntary muscles because we cannot control there movement.
What class of muscles move food along the digestive tract and keep the heart beating?
Involuntary muscles perform the work of internal organs. In the case of the digestive tract, peristaltic muscles are smooth muscle that surrounds the intestines; the heart uses cardiac muscle, a special kind of striated muscle.
What are three places where smooth muscles can be found?
Your blood vessels intestines bladder and other involuntarily controlled muscles are smooth muscles
Do smooth muscles bring about movements by pulling on bones across movable joints?
No, smooth muscles are not responsible for movements across movable joints. Smooth muscles are found in the walls of hollow organs such as the blood vessels and the digestive tract. Skeletal muscles, which are attached to bones across movable joints, are responsible for producing movements by pulling on bones.
Which process in a human requires that enzymes be secreted into gastrointestinal tract?
Chemical digestion in humans requires enzymes to be secreted into the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes are produced by the pancreas and stomach, among other organs.
