What else can I help you with?
Can you contract your smooth and cardiac muscles on purpose?
Smooth Muscles can, but Cardiac Muscles can not.
What the organ that can relax contract and can move bones in the body?
smooth muscles
What muscle such as the heart muscle does its job without thinking about it?
Involuntary muscles contract subconsciously.
How is cardiac muscles similar to smooth muscles?
they both contract and relax to cause movement and both are uninucleated.
What controls the skeletal and smooth muscles by telling them to either contract or relax?
CNS
What do muscles produce?
Muscles provide movement, especially the skeletal muscles. The smooth muscles in our organs produce movement called peristalsis or tonic contraction which holds sphincters closed.
Can smooth muscles maintain a steady state of contraction?
Yes. Smooth muscle can contract cell by cell. This causes muscles to be contracted for very long periods of time.
What do a blood vessels bladder and an airway have in common?
They are all smooth muscles that contract involuntarily.
What are considered smooth muscles in the body?
Smooth muscles are found in hollow parts of the body. For example they are found in the stomach, intestines, blood vessels, and the bladder. They can contract in all directions.
Are your leg muscles smooth muscles?
No, the muscles in your leg are skeletal muscles. Smooth muscle is found for example in vessels and the gastrointistinal tract. Yes smooth muscles are involuntary, which means they contract and relax without our conscious decision for them to do so, however we have control over when we want to move our leg muscles, so it cannot be smooth muscle, they are as said before my answer, quite rightly, skeletal muscles
What are two involuntary muscles?
Two examples of involuntary muscles are smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle is found in organs such as the stomach and intestines, while cardiac muscle is found in the heart. Both types of muscles contract without conscious effort.
What are contract muscles?
Smooth Muscle contractions are regulated by calcium ions. The smooth muscle differs from skeletal muscle in that its contracts from all sides.
