Give examples of three types of muscles?
Smooth Muscle, Cardiac Muscle, and Skeletal Muscle
Do skeletal muscles continue to contract following death?
The Answer is TRUE, skeletal muscles continue to contract following death.
Are skeletal muscles attached to bones?
Skeletal muscles attach to bones by Insertion
Which of these are muscles that are attached to bones and function when we move them?
Muscles that are attached to the bone and allow body movements are Skeletal Muscles.
What is the difference between muscular disorders and skeletal disorders?
Muscular disorders occur in the muscles while skeletal disorders occur in the bones.
What is the relationship between origin insertion and action of the skeletal muscles?
The end of the muscle that is attached to the stationary bone is the point of origin. The muscle end that is attached to the moving bone is the point of insertion, and the action is what the muscle actually does.
Explain the difference between the two types of skeletal muscle tissue?
Skeletal muscle tissue differs from cardiac tissue in that skeletal muscles are striated muscles that require conscious stimulation to act, and cardiac muscles are smooth and basically run "automatically".
What are the skeletal muscle interactions?
Skeletal muscles work together or in opposition Muscles only pull (never push) As muscles shorten, the insertion generally moves toward the origin Whatever a muscle (or group of muscles) does, another muscle (or group) "undoes"

What muscles are the muscles that move bones?
These muscles are called "skeletal muscles".
Whats the anatomical difference between smooth cardiac and skeletal muscles?
cardiac and skeletal muscles have one thing in common, that is they are both striated in contrast to the smooth muscles commonly found in the GIT. however the main difference between them is that cardiac muscles function involuntarily while skeletal muscles are under conscious control. --thoughtfulobserver
