What else can I help you with?
What muscle lines cavities and surrounds organs?
smooth muscle
What muscle lines the bladder wall?
The main muscle in the bladder is called the Detrusor muscle (which is a smooth muscle). it is circular.
What structures help to anchor the thick and thin filaments in place?
Structures that help to anchor the thick and thin filaments in place include the Z-discs (also called Z-lines or Z-bands) in skeletal muscle and the dense bodies in smooth muscle. These structures provide attachment points for the filaments and help maintain the organization and alignment of the muscle proteins during contraction.
What type of muscle tissue lines hollow structures like ducts and blood vessels that contract involuntarily?
Smooth muscle (involuntary)lines ducts and vessels.
Which type of muscle lines the blood vessels and the airways of the body?
Smooth
What is the unit of alternating light and dark striations between z lines?
The unit of alternating light and dark striations between Z lines in a muscle fiber is called a sarcomere. Sarcomeres are the functional units of muscle responsible for muscle contraction and relaxation.
What kind of muscle tissue would you find in the blood vessels?
Arteries have smooth muscle in their walls. The smaller the artery is, the less muscle is found. Veins have none, they count on the skeltal muscles to move blood back to the heart. The veins also have valves which prevent back flow.
What is the region between 2 z lines?
The region between two Z-lines, also known as Z-discs or Z-bands, is the sarcomere, which is the basic contractile unit of striated muscle tissue. The Z-lines mark the boundaries of each sarcomere and anchor the thin filaments (actin) while the thick filaments (myosin) are anchored at the M-line in the center. During muscle contraction, the sarcomere shortens as the actin filaments slide past the myosin filaments, leading to muscle fiber contraction. This structural arrangement is crucial for the overall function of muscle tissue.
What are 3 muscles in the body?
Cardiac, smooth and skeletal.
What is the muscle that is found in the small intestine?
smooth musclesmooth muscle
What type of muscle is the Intestinal wall?
smooth muscles makes up the intestinal wall whereas skeletal muscles would make up your biceps, triceps, and any other part of your body that you consciously control.Involuntary smooth muscle.Smooth muscle lines the intestines, and contracts in waves to push food along.Smooth musclesmooth muscleThe type of muscle that the pushes food down to the intestines is called smooth muscle tissue. This is an involuntary non-straited muscle that is found within the walls of blood vessels.Yes smooth muscles are the muscles found in small intestine
What is the muscle that surrounds the blood vessel?
Blood vessels are surrounded by smooth muscle. This is often known as visceral muscle. This type of muscle also lines the blood vessels and internal organs.
