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.
How does the contraction of the I band contribute to the overall function of skeletal muscle?
The contraction of the I band in skeletal muscle helps to shorten the muscle fibers, allowing for movement and muscle contraction. This contributes to the overall function of skeletal muscle by enabling the muscle to generate force and produce movement.
What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
Does stretch have any effect on skeletal muscle contraction?
yes skeletal muscle stretch by means of contraction.
The first step toward generating a skeletal muscle contraction is The first step toward generating a skeletal muscle contraction is?
stimulation of the muscle by a nerve ending.
What factors affect muscle contraction?
the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction
How are cheek cells different from muscle cells?
Skeletal muscle cells are very thin, and lean. They are designed for contraction and expansion.
How the muscle of the heart different from other muscle of the heart?
The heart muscle is different from smooth and skeletal muscles because it does not require a nerve to cause it to contract. The heart has it's own built in conduction system that cause's the automatic contraction and relaxation that is required for circulation. Smooth and Skeletal muscle whether it uses voluntary or involuntary muscle contraction all have innervation to cause the contraction. Sara, RN
Do skeletal muscles have involuntary muscle?
The skeletal muscles do have the involuntary muscle because they help it in the contraction process.
What band shortens during skeletal muscle contraction?
during skeletal muscle contraction ,I band and H zone shortens. Sarcomeres
True or false When the contraction of a skeletal muscle is studied in the laboratory by applying an electrical charge to the muscle the contraction is called a muscle twitch.?
true
What is the chemical used at the junction with a skeletal muscle?
The chemical used at the junction with a skeletal muscle is acetylcholine (ACh). It is released from the motor neuron at the neuromuscular junction and binds to receptors on the muscle fiber's membrane, triggering muscle contraction. This process is essential for voluntary movement and is part of the overall neuromuscular signaling mechanism.
