Is the calf a smooth muscle?

No, the calf muscle is skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is found in organs like the stomach and intestines that are involved in involuntary movements, whereas skeletal muscles like the calf muscle are attached to bones and are responsible for voluntary movement.


Give examples of three types of muscles?

Skeletal muscle: Found attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movement. Cardiac muscle: Found in the heart and responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, responsible for involuntary movements like peristalsis.


What kind of tissue contracts?

Muscle tissue is responsible for contraction in the body. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and helps with movement, cardiac muscle is found in the heart and helps pump blood, and smooth muscle is found in organs and blood vessels to help with various functions.


What muscle moves bones?

There are three types of muscle in your body: striated, smooth and cardiac. The striated muscle is also called skeletal muscle and it is this type of muscle that moves your joints. Skeletal muscles are attached by tendons to the bones that they act on.


How many bones are used in voluntary movement?

There are over 200 bones in the human body, and many of them are used in voluntary movement. Joints connect these bones, allowing for smooth and controlled movement. Muscle contractions pull on the bones to produce the desired motion.

What function of muscle tissue does not belong ability to shorten contractility pulls on bones stretchability?

Stretchability does not belong to the functions of muscle tissue. While muscle tissue is stretchable to a certain extent, its primary function is not related to stretching or elongating. The main functions of muscle tissue are the ability to shorten or contract (known as contractility) and to pull on bones (known as pulling or moving bones).
