What else can I help you with?
The rhythmic movement of visceral muscle is called what?
smooth muscle
Muscle responsible for most of a movement is called?
The muscle that is responsible for most of a movement is called a prime mover. It may also be called an agonist.
What is the muscle cell functions?
Muscle cells are formed in such a way that they contract and shorten. By doing this they produce a movement of one type or another. Skeletal muscle cells (called fibers) pull one bone towards another bone, smooth muscles fibers shorten as well but they don't act on bones. They produce waves of movement.
What is another name for involuntary muscles?
It is called involuntary muscle or smooth muscle.
What is the soft tissue called that is needed for movement?
Muscle tissue
The type of movement a skeletal muscle produces is called its?
origin
What is the tension of muscle fibers called?
The tension of muscle fibers is called muscle tension. It refers to the force generated by a muscle when it contracts. Muscle tension is necessary for movement, posture, and stabilization of the body.
What is the chief muscle of inspiration?
the prime mover is the muscle responsible for most of the movement in a group of muscles; called the chief muscle.
What is it called when a muscle acting as a helper to accomplish a particular movement?
A muscle that acts as a helper to accomplish a particular movement is called a synergist. Synergists assist the primary muscle, known as the agonist, by stabilizing joints and facilitating smooth movement during actions. They play a crucial role in ensuring coordinated muscle function and can also help to fine-tune the movement.
What is it called when a muscle becomes shorter and pulls one bone toward another?
When a muscle becomes shorter and pulls one bone toward another, it is called contraction. During contraction, the muscle fibers shorten and generate tension, allowing for movement of the skeletal system. This process is essential for various bodily functions, including locomotion and maintaining posture.
Muscle that is primarily responsible for bringing about a particular movement?
The muscle that is primarily responsible for bringing about a particular movement is called the prime mover or agonist muscle. It is the main muscle that contracts to create the desired movement at a joint. Antagonist muscles work in opposition to the prime mover to control the movement and prevent injury.
How are the short length and slow movement in muscles like digestive organs?
The muscles in organs are called smooth muscle. Smooth muscle has short length and slow movement. It is involuntary unlike skeletal muscle.
