What are the muscles that are slow in contraction and relaxation?
smooth muscle
What do contraction and relaxation of muscles produce?
It produces protein.
What the opposite of Contraction?
The general opposite of contraction is expansion, or possibly inflation. For muscles, the opposite of contraction is relaxation.
What allows the movement of blood in and out of the heart?
contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles
What allows the movements of the blood in and out of the heart?
contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles
What is Thompson's disease?
A hereditary disease of the muscles characterized by prolonged contraction of the muscles whenever voluntary motion is attempted, contraction and relaxation being slow and the muscles stiff.
Why do cats breathe faster when they purr?
Cats breathe faster when they purr because the act of purring requires the contraction and relaxation of muscles in their diaphragm, which can lead to an increase in their breathing rate.
How do you call the contraction and relaxation?
Contraction and relaxation are two opposites. They work together when the muscles of the body work. A good example is the contraction and relaxation of the heart. The contraction allows blood to be distributed to the parts of the body while the relaxation allows the heart to be oxygenized and therefore fill up blood to be distributed to the whole body.
What are the active and passive parts of breathing?
The active part of breathing involves the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles to expand the chest cavity, allowing air to enter the lungs. The passive part of breathing involves the relaxation of these muscles, causing the chest cavity to decrease in size and air to be expelled from the lungs.
Describes a neuromuscular disorder characterized by the slow relaxation of the muscles after a voluntary contraction?
Myotoniamyotonia
What role do the rib muscles and diaphragm play in breathing?
Both aid in the expansion and relaxation of lungs.
Produces quick muscle contractions to make heat?
Shivering is the rapid contraction and relaxation of muscles to generate heat.
