Function of trachealis muscle?

The main function of the trachealis muscle is to constrict the trachea, allowing air to be expelled with more force while you are coughing. This muscle is smooth and is located adjacent to the esophagus.


What is the main function of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

The main function of smooth endoplasmic reticulum is to synthesize lipids, including phospholipids and steroids, and to detoxify drugs and other harmful substances in the cell. It also stores calcium ions and helps regulate their release in muscle cells.


What muscles are straighted?

There are three types of muscle tissue: smooth, skeletal, and cardiac. Smooth muscle lines the walls of hollow organs and are involuntary. Skeletal muscles are attached to the skeleton and its main function is voluntary movement. Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Both skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue is striated, smooth is not.


What is the main function of specialized cells?

The main function of specialized cells serve different tasks which include moving oxygen throughout the body, killing bacteria, removing mucus from the body, etc. Examples of speciazlized cells are white blood cells, red blood cells and muscle cells.


What are 3 type stuff of musclea tissue?

The three different types are the skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. The cardiac muscles are ONLY found in the heart area, the skeletal is the muscle that moves the bones and the smooth muscle is in most of your main organs.


What are the two neurotransmitters that affect smooth muscle cells?

The main neurotransmitters involved with smooth muscle is Acetylcholine which causes an exited effect in smooth tissue and Adrenalin which causes an inhibitory effect. Adrenalin is produced by the adrenal gland when animals are in high stress or phsically elated situations. This causes the "flight or fight" mode in animals and increases function of regions of body necessary for survial such as skeletal muscle. Thus smooth muscle in the gut for example isn't vital in dangers situations therefore contraction of this muscle is decreased by the neurotransmitter.


How do you tell the difference between dense regular connective tissue and smooth muscle tissue when looking at slides?

The main differences between the two are that when you look at smooth muscle you can see the actual muscle cells with the nucleus within it. In dense regular connective tissue, there are no cells visible, instead you see striations and collagen fibers.


What tissue is made of cells to relax and produce movement?

Muscle tissue is made of cells that have the ability to relax and contract in order to produce movement in the body. There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.


What is the function of the Tunica media?

The tunica media is the middle layer of arteries and veins that is composed of smooth muscle cells. Its main function is to regulate blood vessel diameter and control blood flow by contracting and relaxing in response to various signals from the nervous system and local factors.


What muscle lines the bladder wall?

What is the histology of the juxtaglomerular apparatus?

The juxtaglomerular apparatus consists of three main cell types: macula densa cells (epithelial cells of the distal tubule), granular cells (specialized smooth muscle cells of the afferent arteriole), and extraglomerular mesangial cells. These cells are involved in regulating blood pressure and kidney function through the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
