unlike the heart muscle, which is an involuntary muscle, the skeletal muscles are voluntary(movement by choice). these muscles rely on joint mobility with the skeletal bones for leverage. this joint mobility exists because of the tendons that attach muscle to bones through connective tissue, and the types of connective tissue depends on the joint connecting the bones
What else can I help you with?
How do you describe the cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle. The cells of cardiac muscle have only one nucleus. The layer of the heart that contains cardiac muscle is called the myocardium.
What characteristic does not describe cardiac muscle tissue?
Cardiac muscle tissue is specifically muscle tissue of the heart. It is smooth just like skeletal muscle tissue but has special characteristics that help it to contract at fast, steady rates.
How would you describe the cells of the cardiac muscle?
What is one of the most identifiable characteristics of cardiac tissue
What does not describe a cardiac muscle tissue?
what tissue is not a cardic tissue
Which type of muscle is the heart made of?
cardiac
How does the structure of cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart?
The structure of the heart is very complex. Cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart make up part of this very complex system
What are the key differences in the structure and function of smooth muscle compared to cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle have different structures and functions. Smooth muscle is found in organs like the intestines and blood vessels, and is involuntary. It has a spindle-shaped structure and contracts slowly and rhythmically. On the other hand, cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is also involuntary. It has a branching structure and contracts quickly and continuously to pump blood throughout the body.
What does the unique structure of cardiac muscle play in its function?
Cardiac muscle fibres contain GAP JUNCTION in the intercalated disc which makes them to function as a FUNCTIONAL SYNCYTIUM
Name a structure that receives signals from autonomic nervous system?
Smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, gland
Which muscle cells commonly branch?
the cell tissue is not in fact muscle tissue its penis tissue
What are the key differences in the structure and function between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and helps with movement, while cardiac muscle is found in the heart and helps pump blood. Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, while cardiac muscle is involuntary. Additionally, skeletal muscle has multiple nuclei per cell, while cardiac muscle has only one nucleus per cell.
Why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage?
Briefly describe why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage? Cardiac muscle lacks stem cells and mature cardiac muscle fibers cannot go through mitosis. This is a network of specialized cardiac muscle fibers that provide a path for each cycle of cardiac excitation to progress through the heart.
