What period is a muscle is unable to respond to stimuli temporarily?
The period when a muscle is unable to respond to stimuli temporarily is called the refractory period. This period allows the muscle to reset and recover before it can receive and respond to additional stimuli.
When a muscle is unable to respond to stimuli temporarily which period is it in?
The refractory period is when a muscle is temporary unable to respond to stimuli refractory period
What cells have the ability to respond to stimuli by generating signals such as action potentials?
Nerve cells or neurons have the ability to respond to stimuli by generating signals such as action potentials. These signals travel along the nerve cells to communicate information within the nervous system.
What are the four main special functional abilities of muscle that are the basis for muscle response?
Muscle tissue has four main properties: Excitability (ability to respond to stimuli) Contractibility (ability to contract) Extensibility (ability to be stretched without tearing) Elasticity (ability to return to its normal shape).
Muscle cells gland cells and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called?
Muscle cells are called myocytes, gland cells are called secretory cells, and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called neurons.
Which muscle characteristic describes the ability of muscle to respond to a stimulus?
Excitability
Characteristics of irritability in a muscle tissue?
Irritability in muscle tissue refers to its ability to respond to stimuli by generating an action potential. This leads to muscle contraction, allowing for movement. Irritability is a key characteristic of muscle tissue that enables it to function in response to various signals from the nervous system.
The most distinguishing characteristic of muscle tissue is?
Excitability = the ability to receive and respond to a stimulus Contractility = the ability to shorten Extensibility = the ability to be stretched Elasticity = the ability to resume normal length after contraction or having been stretched.
Does all body cells exhibit irritability to some extent?
Muscle cells are irritable and respond to stimuli. Muscle twitch is defined as contraction and relaxation in the muscle cell. The stimulus needs to be above a certain threshold for the muscle fibres to react. The more the stimulus, the greater the strength of the contraction.
Which muscle trait is the ability to respond to a stimulus such as a nerve or hormone?
Muscle excitability is the ability to respond to a stimulus, such as a nerve signal or hormone, by generating an electrical impulse that leads to muscle contraction. This trait allows muscles to react to signals from the nervous or endocrine systems to produce movement.
What is the ability of a muscle to respond to nerve stimulus called?
neuromuscular efficiency neuromuscular efficiency
What special features of muscle cell?
Muscle cells have unique features such as contractility (ability to generate force and movement), excitability (responsiveness to stimuli), extensibility (ability to be stretched), and elasticity (ability to return to original shape after stretching). These features allow muscle cells to function in tasks such as movement, support, and maintaining body temperature.
