What are the only two types of cells that have excitable membranes?
neurons and muscle cells
What are the two types of cardiac myocytes?
There are two types of cardiac muscle cells, those that contract and those that set the rhythm. Both are basically the same cell.
What are the two contractile proteins of muscle?
The two types of protein that are in your muscle cells are actin and myosin. What they do is they slide past each other and that makes a muscle cell work.
What are the main functions of skeletal muscles?
The major functions of the skeletal system is for support and protection.to protect your internal organs like your heart,stomach.etcand also for support because without your bones you wont be able to move or even stand up.that is why you have a spine and a spinal cord
Muscle that appears banded?
Muscle tissue whose cells have a banded appearance are classified as being striated. The two types of striated muscles tissue are the cardiac muscle tissue and the skeletal muscle tissue.
Which types of muscles are involuntary?
Of the three types of muscle, the two that are involuntary are cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.
Are voluntarily controlled by skeletal or cardiac or smooth?
skeletal muscle is voluntarilt controlled and the other two are involuntarily contolled
What are the two muscle types?
One type of muscle is called smooth muscle. A smooth muscle works involuntarily. The other type of muscle is called skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle only works with a command.
Uncontrolled muscle contractions the same as skeletal muscle contractions?
Uhh, no uncontrolled muscle contraction occurs in smooth and cardiac muscles... there are many differences between these two types of muscles; controlled and uncontrolled muscle contraction.....
Types of muscle are involuntary?
Of the three types of muscle, the two that are involuntary are cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.
Compare and contrast the three types of muscles?
There are three types of muscle tissue found in the human body. There are visceral muscles, which consist of smooth muscle tissue, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and responds to both hormones and neural stimulation. Smooth muscles have no striations, as the nucleus is centrally located. Thus, they are involuntarily controlled. Then, there is cardiac muscle, which is only found in the heart and is also stimulated by neural activity and hormones. Lastly, there are skeletal muscles, which aid in the movement of the body and is mostly attached to bones by means of tendons. These muscles are striated, and are voluntarily controlled. Skeletal muscles can further be sub-divided into two categories: red and white muscles. Red skeletal muscle tissue consists of a chemical not found in the white skeletal muscle called myoglobin. Myoglobin is a protein-like molecule, which aids in the storage of oxygen, which is essential to its function. Thus, this extra molecule is responsible for giving red muscles their coloring.
Are there times when skeletal muscle function involuntarily?
Absolutely. Some examples include shivering, muscle spasms, muscle cramps, changing body positions during sleep, and breathing (which is voluntary up to a point, then it happens involuntarily to keep you from dying). There are also two different skeletal muscles in your middle ear that are completely under autonomic (involuntary) control.
What muscle is controlled by two nerves?
All of them....or do you mean the autonomic nervous system?
Muscle sphincters are composed of what two types of muscle fibers?
Smooth Muscle Fiber
What are three different muscle types?

What are two types of scientific investigations that scientist use when a controlled experiment is not practical?
When a controlled experiment is not possible or practical, two types of scientific investigations are observation and modeling.
What are two groups of muscles in the body?
The two main types of muscles are voluntary muscles and involuntary muscles. An voluntary muscle is a muscle that you use and work at your own will power such as your biceps or quads. In involuntary muscle is a muscle that is always being uses and you can not direct it otherwise, such as the heart.
