Does increased muscle density mean more myofibrils per muscle fiber?
Yes, it means that you will gain more myofibrils per muscle fiber. A muscle fiber is a muscle cell, and everybody has about the same number. When you train your muscles, they will develop more myofibrils inside the muscle cells. So you cannot change the number of muscle fibers, or cells, but you can change the number of fibers, or myofibrils, inside them. The end result is more muscle density, not more muscle cells.
What does cpk mean in a blood test?
CPK, or creatine phosphokinase, is an enzyme found in muscle cells. Elevated levels of CPK in a blood test can indicate muscle damage or injury, such as from a heart attack, muscle trauma, or certain muscle diseases.
What does it mean when a muscle contracts and how does this process occur in the human body?
When a muscle contracts, it shortens and tightens, causing movement. This process occurs in the human body when signals from the brain travel through nerves to the muscle, triggering the release of calcium ions. These ions bind to proteins in the muscle cells, causing them to slide past each other and contract. This contraction allows the muscle to generate force and move the body.
In what way would having many mitochondria be beneficial to muscle cells?
Having many mitochondria in muscle cells allows for more energy production through aerobic respiration, which is essential for providing the energy needed for muscle contractions during activities like exercise or movement. This high energy production capacity helps to prevent muscle fatigue and allows for sustained muscle activity over longer periods of time.
What does tissue mean scientifically?
Tissue is a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body. These cells are organized into structures that have a distinct shape and function, such as muscle tissue, nerve tissue, or connective tissue.
What does sma positive mean in a immunohistochemical stain?
SMA positive in an immunohistochemical stain means that the smooth muscle actin (SMA) protein is present and detected in the tissue sample. This can indicate the presence of smooth muscle cells in the tissue being examined, helping in the diagnosis of conditions involving smooth muscle abnormalities.
What type of muscle that is involuntary and not straightened?
1. You probably mean not "striated" and the answer is smooth muscle. 2. Appendix
What muscle is controlled by two nerves?
All of them....or do you mean the autonomic nervous system?
What does the medical abbreviation VSMC mean?
Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell
What muscle tissue is found along the hallow portion of the organ?
I think you mean 'smooth' muscle (as opposed to skeletal or cardiac muscle) .
What does heart muscle mean?
Your heart is a muscle. It is also called the myocardium. The muscle cells in the heart muscle are called myocardiocytes.
Which type of muscle tissue makes possible movement of internal organs?
Internal organs usually do not move. Unless you mean the contraction of the heart, which is composed of cardiomyocytes. If you have experienced some strange movement of other organs you should contact your doctor.
What bladder sphincter is composed of skeletal muscle?
Bladder sphincter belongs to smooth muslce, smooth muscle is an involuntary tissue which mean. we cannot control it. we cannot control our gallbladder it moves automatically.
Which life process are muscle cells specialist for?
Muscles are specialized tissues evolved for movement. Smooth muscle is involved in involuntary movement found in the contraction of blood vessels, the digestive tract and the iris, and also the formation of goose bumps. Skeletal muscle is a type of striated muscle involved in voluntary movement and is the muscle we are most familiar with that allows us to move our bodies. Cardiac muscle is also a type of striated muscle, although some people use it to mean skeletal muscle only, and is involved in the contraction of the heart which is the pumping motion that moves the blood throughout the body.
What does auto-rhythmic mean?
Autorhythmic cells (pacemakers) refers to the cardiac muscle cells responsible for synchronizing the contractile cells to coordinate a heart contraction.
What does auto rhythmic mean?
Autorhythmic cells (pacemakers) refers to the cardiac muscle cells responsible for synchronizing the contractile cells to coordinate a heart contraction.
What is a muscle works or moves on its own?
if by on it's own you mean subconsciously, then the heart and the diaphragm
