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.
Type of muscle that is voluntary and striated?
SKELETAL (:
Why are skeletal muscle fibers unusual?
The skeletal muscle, or striated muscle, is the muscle attached to the skeleton. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. The contraction of skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.
Is skeletal muscle voluntary or involuntary?
Skeletal muscle is voluntary, meaning it is under conscious control.
What type of tissue is skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is voluntary muscle.
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.
What is a group of skeletal muscle fibers?
A skeletal muscle
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.
What is another name for striated muscle?
You can say skeletal muscles.
Is your skeletal muscle involuntary or voluntary?
Voluntary
Is a skeletal muscle a voluntary muscle?
Almost all skeletal muscles are voluntary. But respiratory muscles, diaphragm and intercostal, are not completely voluntary.
What is the relationship between the number of motor neurons recruited and the number of skeletal muscle fibers innervated?
Typically, hundreds of skeletal muscle fibers are innervated by a single motor neuron.Completed
