Skeletal muscles are stimulated by nerve impulses which relay, beginning with sensory neurons at the site of excitation and ending with the motor neuron appropriate to the muscle being used. For example, the palmaris longus, responsible for flexion in the wrist joint, is stimulated by the median nerve, or nervus medianus. There is certainly a lot more complexity to this and should therefore be answered in an equally more complex question.
What else can I help you with?
Does skeletal muscle need stimulation to contract?
Yes! Although we have total control over these muscles, they still need stimulation to contract. The difference with muscles that we don't control is that we decide if we want to make this stimulation.
How are voluntary and involuntary muscle different from each other?
Generally, voluntary muscles are striated and skeletal muscles, while involuntary muscles are smooth muscles and are visceral (located in organs). Voluntary muscles are muscles that can be consciously contracted, while involuntary muscles are muscles that are contracted at certain times or at all times without the conscious consent of the brain.
What muscle skeletal muscles do to move?
Skeletal muscles rely on contractions to move the bone they are attached to so it is contract and relax
What proteins help contraction of skeletal muscles?
Actin and myosin cause muscles to contract.
Which muscle type can voluntarily contract and relax?
Skeletal muscles .
What do muscles do list two different functions of muscles?
Some muscles (skeletal muscles) will not contract unless stimulated by neurons; other muscles (smooth & cardiac) will contract without nervous stimulation but their contraction can be influenced by the nervous system. Thus, the nervous and muscle systems are closely interconnected.
What additional skeletal muscles are utilized in an ERV activity?
abdominal-wall muscles and the internal intercostal muscles contract.
Without what can skeletal muscles contract in some reflex actions?
the brain.
Skeletal muscles always work in antagonistic pairs.?
false....
Which muscle type is voluntary in action?
The skeletal muscle is the only type of muscle which is voluntary.
Do skeletal muscles continue to contract following death?
No, skeletal muscles do not continue to contract following death. Once a person dies, muscle contractions stop due to the lack of energy production in the body. Any appearance of movement in a dead body is due to postmortem changes, such as rigor mortis.
What controls the skeletal and smooth muscles by telling them to either contract or relax?
CNS
