What else can I help you with?
What type of tissue is designed to squeeze food through the digestive organs?
Muscle
Is it normal for eyes to water when you yawn?
It is quite normal for the eyes to water when a person yawns. The muscle contractions in the face and jaw squeeze the area around the tear ducts.
What are the major tissue of the muscular system?
Smooth: Lacks striations, thicker in middle and tapers at the ends, associated with involuntary muscle movements eg intestines.Skeletal: Striated, long fibres, that have multiple nuclei around the plasma membrane, typically attach to bones.Cardiac: Striated, branched muscle fibres that make up the heart, are shorter than skeletal muscle fibres.
Are eccentric contractions more forceful than concentric contractions?
Yes, eccentric contractions when maximal voluntary performed are more forceful than concentric contraction. Inspite the use of more motor units recruited when a eccentric contraction is performed. The greater force might be possible because of the stretch induced force (elastic force). A counter-movement jump is also performed better than a jump without counter-movement.21. McCully, KEVIN K., AND JOHN A. FAULKNER. Injury to skeletal muscle fibers of mice following lengthening contractions. J. Appl. Physiol. 59(l): 119-126, 1985.
How can a human eat food and turn it into muscle?
Humans can eat food and turn it into muscle by means of a very complex series of biochemical reactions that are ultimately controlled by DNA, through the synthesis of protein enzymes.
Involuntary muscle contractions that move the food through the digestive system?
peristalsis
Food moves through the digestive tract by wavelike contractions called?
Peristalsis is a series of involuntary smooth muscle contractions along the walls of the digestive tract that move food through the digestive tractperistalsis
What is peristalses and what triggers it?
Peristalsis is a series of organized muscle contractions that occur throughout the digestive tract.
What is the involuntary muscle contractions in the digestive systems that move food through the alimentary canal?
yes it is known as peristalisis. it occurs throughout the tract due to rythemic contractions and ralaxations
What is the maintenance of muscle tone in the wall of the blood vessels an example of?
Involuntary muscle contractions
What is the involuntary muscle action of alimentary canal?
Peristalsis is the involuntary muscle action of the alimentary canal. It involves wave-like contractions that push food along the digestive tract, allowing for the process of digestion and absorption to occur.
Can A deficiency of calcium in the body can result in involuntary muscle contractions?
Yes it can
What causes shaking before a fever?
It is caused by involuntary muscle contractions.
A deficiency of parathyroid hormone can cause involuntary muscle contractions of a type called?
Tetany is the term for the muscle contractions that may be caused by hypoparathyroidism.
What is perstalsis?
Food is pushed down the oesophagus by a series of contractions. The part of the oesophagus just above the ball of food contracts and pushes it down. then it relaxes and the next part of the oesophagus contracts. this wavelike movement, controlled by muscles, is called peristalsis. It occurs all the way down the alimentary canal.
Where can you find the involuntary muscle?
Involuntary muscle is muscle that contracts on its own. You do not have to think about contracting it. You find this type of muscle in hollow organs such as the digestive tract. You also find a type of involuntary muscle in the heart.
Peristalsis the squeezing action of the digestive muscle is an example of what type of muscle?
Smooth muscles. These muscles are not striated and are involuntary.
