Muscle tissue is the type of tissue that makes parts of the body move by contracting or shortening. It is composed of muscle fibers that have the ability to generate force and produce movement.
Muscles provide movement, especially the skeletal muscles. The smooth muscles in our organs produce movement called peristalsis or tonic contraction which holds sphincters closed.
the muscles produce movement through contraction and relaxation. they can be skeletal muscles, smooth muscles or cardiac muscles skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles,that we use for locomotion and other activities.we can control their actions. they are straited muscles. smooth musles are the involuntary muscles that are present in the walls of respiratory, urinary, gastro-intestinal and genital tract and muscles of iris. we cannot voluntarily control them.they are non striated muscles. example - we cannot control digestion. cardiac muscles are involuntary but striated
Ligaments
the nervous system
Tendons are made up of tough band of fibrous connective tissues which join bones and muscles together and are capable of withstanding tension!
yes
Muscles work together in a coordinated manner through the nervous system. When a signal from the brain is sent to the muscles, it triggers a series of chemical reactions that lead to muscle contractions. Different muscles contract or relax accordingly to produce coordinated movement.
prime movers : muscle that initiate a particular movement synergism : muscles that have the same action of the prime mover antagonist : muscles that come into play to oppose a certain movement
Yes, they do! Along with the bones and the blood, the muscles help keep your body together and help you move.
Cardia myocytes. These special muscle cells can produce myoclonic movement (rythmic contractions initiated without input from the nervous system) when bathed in fluid containing oxygen and glucose.
The muscles and bones work together to produce movement but without oxygen and a good heart rate movement would not be possible either.
