What else can I help you with?
What kind of muscle can stretch or maintain tension for long periods of time?
Smooth muscles.
What i s latch bridge mechanism in smooth muscle?
smooth muscles have the ability to sustain the prolong contraction with a little use of energy.this latching of energy in smooth muscles is called latch phenomena,smooth muscles have ability to reduce strength of stimulus once they have fully contracted
Smooth muscle contractions occurs without the regular rearrangement of what?
Smooth muscle contractions occur without the regular rearrangement of sarcomeres, which are the structural units found in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Instead of organized sarcomeres, smooth muscle fibers have a more dispersed arrangement of actin and myosin filaments, allowing for a more sustained and rhythmic contraction. This unique structure enables smooth muscle to maintain tension over extended periods and adapt to various physiological demands.
Is there is a small amount of smooth muscle in the heart?
No. and cardiac muscle is technically different from skeletal muscle, too.
What is the difference between the smooth and striated muscle?
The difference is that the strained muscle has more tension on it and the smooth muscle doesn't like if you break your leg you relay on the other leg to get you around so while the muscle fixes you should use the other arm.
The ability of smooth muscle to function over a wide range of lengths is called what?
The ability of smooth muscle to function over a wide range of lengths is called plasticity or length-tension relationship. This allows smooth muscle to contract effectively regardless of changes in its length or stretch.
What has resting tension?
GI tract smooth muscle has resting tension which results from slightly elevated levels of intracellular Ca2+. This tone is modified by neutransmitters, hormones, or drugs.
What is the muscle that is found in the small intestine?
smooth musclesmooth muscle
Is an ulcer a cardiac muscle or a smooth muscle?
Smooth muscle
Which muscle tissue is involuntary and not striated?
SmoothI'm POSITIVE it's the Skeletal Muscle!
Smooth muscle that controls light intensity?
The smooth muscle in the iris of the eye controls the size of the pupil, which regulates the amount of light entering the eye. When this muscle contracts, the pupil constricts, reducing the amount of light that enters the eye, and when it relaxes, the pupil dilates to allow more light in.
Is tropomyosin found in smooth muscle?
smooth muscle doesn't have troponin, instead it has caldmodulin
