What else can I help you with?
True or false smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscles?
smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscle
Is skeletal muscle made of muscle fibers?
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
What types of fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.

Do skeletal muscle fibers contain sarcomeres whereas smooth muscle fibers do not?
Yes, skeletal muscle fibers contain sarcomeres, which are the repeating units responsible for muscle contractions. In contrast, smooth muscle fibers do not have sarcomeres in the same organized structure but still have contractile proteins.
How are smooth muscle cells similar to skeletal fibers?
Smooth muscle cells are similar to skeletal muscle cells due to the actin-tropomyosin interactions. These interactions "tell" the muscle when to contract.
How are smoothe muscle cells different from skeletal muscle fibers?
Smooth muscle cells are involuntary and non-striated, meaning they lack the distinct banding pattern seen in skeletal muscle fibers. Unlike skeletal muscle fibers, which are multi-nucleated and have a cylindrical shape, smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped and typically contain a single nucleus. Additionally, smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and is responsible for involuntary movements, while skeletal muscle is primarily responsible for voluntary movements and is attached to bones.
What are individual muscle cells called?
Individual muscle cells are called muscle fibers or myofibers. These elongated cells are specialized for contraction and come in three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle fibers, each serving different functions in the body. Skeletal muscle fibers are responsible for voluntary movements, cardiac muscle fibers make up the heart, and smooth muscle fibers are found in the walls of hollow organs.
Two main muscle fibers?
Muscle fibers can be smooth or striated. Smooth muscle is often involuntary and line the blood vessels and gastrointestinal tract. Striated muscles may be voluntary, such as skeletal muscle, or involuntary such as cardiac muscle.
Is the skeletal muscle a smooth muscle?
no skeletal muscles are voluntary smooth muscles are not
What are the 3 subtypes of muscle tissue?
Striated,smooth,and skelital cardiac, skeletal, and smooth
