What is the connective tissue that connects muscle to muscle called?
The connective tissue that connects muscle to muscle is called fascia.
How does the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle compare to that of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle all contract in response to signals from the nervous system or hormones. However, the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle is different from that of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle contracts more slowly and can sustain contractions for longer periods of time compared to skeletal and cardiac muscle. Additionally, smooth muscle does not have striations like skeletal and cardiac muscle, which gives it a more uniform appearance.
What does a muscle relaxant do to help alleviate muscle tension or spasms?
A muscle relaxant works by targeting the nervous system to reduce muscle contractions, helping to alleviate muscle tension or spasms.
What is the anatomical term for the calf muscle?
The anatomical term for the calf muscle is the gastrocnemius muscle.
What muscle of the human body is homologous to the sternomastoid muscle of the cat?
The sternocleidomastoid in the human is homologous to the sternomastoid muscle of the cat.
Where is the sternomastoid muscle located in cats?
Sternomastoid (cat) corresponds to the medial portion of the sternocleidomastoid (human).origin: manubrium and median raphe.insertion: lateral half of lambdoidal ridge and mastoid portion of temporal bone as far as the mastoid process.The sternomastoid muscle defines the anterior triangle of the neck. In humans it is the thick strap like muscle that turns the head to the left or right.
Is sternocleidomastoid in cats and humans?
Humans have a sternocleidomastoid muscle, but cats do not. In a cat, the sternomastoid muscle defines the anterior triangle of the neck.
Would neck pain cause wavey floaters in the eyes?
Yes. The main cause is sternomastoid muscle.
How many sternomastoid muscles are in the human body?
There are two sternomastoid muscles in the human body. The sternomastoid is also known as the sternocleidomastoid.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle superior or inferior to the rectus abdominis muscle?
Sternomastoid, lying in the neck, is well superior to rectus abdominis which lies in the anterior abdominal wall.
Is sternocleidomastoid muscle superior or inferior to the rectus abdominis muscle?
Sternomastoid, lying in the neck, is well superior to rectus abdominis which lies in the anterior abdominal wall.
Is the sternocleidomastoid muscle siperior or inferior to the rectus abdominis muscle?
Sternomastoid, lying in the neck, is well superior to rectus abdominis which lies in the anterior abdominal wall.
What resembles the breastbone?
sternomastoid
How does the sternomastoid muscle help with breathing?
If the head of the neck is fixed, then it is possible for the muscles to raise the clavicle and manubrium sterni, and hence the ribs, so that they act as accessory muscles of respiration.
Name two Ares of the body where a pulse may be felt?
the wrist joint where the radial pulse may be felt and the neck just above the sternomastoid muscle where the carotid pulse may be felt
Does the sternomastoid muscle muscle control head movement?
The stenrocleidomastoid muscle bilaterally does neck extension, while unilaterally, they laterally flex the Neck to the same side of the muscle contracting, and rotates th neck to the contra lateral side. So if you rotate to the left, the right sternocleidomastoid muscle is working. The right stenrocleidomastoid will also cause right lateral flexion( side bending)
