There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Skeletal muscle tissue is a voluntary type of muscle tissue that is used in the contraction of skeletal parts. It is striated (alternating with light and dark bands, called striations) and is attached to bones. A single skeletal muscle fiber is very long and has many nuclei, located at the periphery of the cell. Individual muscle fibers are parallel to each other.
Smooth muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow internal organs and blood vessels. It is involuntary, nonstriated, and it's muscle fibers are small, thickest in the middle, and tapered at each end, containing single, centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle tissue helps to narrow the lumen of blood vessels, physically break down and move food along the GIT as well as move fluids through the body and eliminate wastes.
Cardiac muscle tissue is found only in the walls of the heart and it is striated but also involuntary. It's muscle fibers are branched, and usually have only one centrally located nucleus. cardiac muscle tissue has intercalated discs that transverse thickening of the plasma membrane attached to the muscle fibers from end-to-end. It contains cell junctions that strengthen cardiac muscle and holds the fibers together during its vigorous contractions and cell junctions known as gap junctions that also provide a quick route for conduction of electrical impulses.
What else can I help you with?
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
Which muscle tissue has several nuclei per cell?
Smooth muscle tissue
Which muscle do you control smooth muscle or skeletal muscle?
You are in direct control of skeletal muscle.
Which of these cells are likely to have multiple nuclei skeletal muscle cardiac muscle smooth muscle or neuron?
skeletal smooth muscle neuron
What are some different types of muscles?
There are three muscle types, skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal and cardiac are both striated muscle, whereas smooth muscle is not.
How is cardiac muscle similar both muscle smooth and skeletal muscle?
Cardiac muscle tissue, like skeletal and smooth muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy.Unlike both smooth and skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles have cells that branch.
How cardiac muscle similar to both smooth muscle and skeletal muscle?
Cardiac muscle tissue, like skeletal and smooth muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy.Unlike both smooth and skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles have cells that branch.
Does the trachea have skeletal muscle?
No, the trachea does not have skeletal muscle. Instead, it is composed of smooth muscle, cartilage, and connective tissue. Smooth muscle allows for involuntary control of the trachea's diameter and airflow.
What kind of muscle can you consciously contro smooth muscle or skeletal muscle?
There are three types of muscles. Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are the only ones you can voluntarily control.
How does the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle compare to that of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle all contract in response to signals from the nervous system or hormones. However, the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle is different from that of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle contracts more slowly and can sustain contractions for longer periods of time compared to skeletal and cardiac muscle. Additionally, smooth muscle does not have striations like skeletal and cardiac muscle, which gives it a more uniform appearance.
Which muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and most glands
