Muscle tissue consists of cells that are highly specialized for the function of?
Contraction.
Does all body cells exhibit irritability to some extent?
Muscle cells are irritable and respond to stimuli. Muscle twitch is defined as contraction and relaxation in the muscle cell. The stimulus needs to be above a certain threshold for the muscle fibres to react. The more the stimulus, the greater the strength of the contraction.
What is the process of excitation contraction coupling?
cross bridge formation "Excitation-contraction coupling" connects muscle fiber excitation to the muscle fiber contraction (cross bridge formation). During contraction, myosin heads form cross bridges many times-with each cross bridge generating a small amount of tension in the muscle fiber.
Each heart contraction begins in a small group of cardiac muscle cells called?
The sinoatrial node is the small group of cardiac muscles that initiates each heart contraction.
What tissues cells shorten and exert force?
The cell of the muscle tissue shorten to exert force. These tissues will support movement of the various muscles in the by exerting force.
Muscle tissue consists of cells that are highly specialized for the function of?
Contraction.
The force of a muscle contraction is not affected by?
the amount of ATP in the muscle cells
How are cheek cells different from muscle cells?
Skeletal muscle cells are very thin, and lean. They are designed for contraction and expansion.
What energy sources for the contraction of muscle cells?
ATP
What does the contraction of cells in muscle tissue allow muscles to do?
movement
A group of conducting cells control heart muscle contraction and is known as the?
pacemaker cells
What is the function of the muscle cells in an animal?
Locomotion , movement , contraction etc .
What is the definition for myogenic?
myogenic refers to the contraction of cardiac muscle cells.
Why muscle cells have more mitochondria than other kinds of eukaryotic cells have?
mitochondria supply the energy to the cells. Muscle cells require a lot of energy for contraction. Therefore muscle cells need a lot of mitochondria.
What is the primary determinant of how much force a muscle can generate?
The main factor that determines the power of the muscle is the total number of muscle cells available for contraction.
What is involved in muscle contraction in larger organisms?
Involved in muscle contraction in larger organisms is microfilament. Structures found only in plant cells are plastids. A type of plastid is chloroplasts.
Where are the cells that initiate the stimulus for contraction of the heart muscle located?
SA node
