What else can I help you with?
What is the space between the nerve and muscle called?
The space between a nerve and muscle is called the neuromuscular junction. This is where the nerve endings release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, which signal the muscle to contract.
The actual gap between an axon ending and the muscle cell is called what?
Neuromuscular junction.
What is the enzyme found in the synaptic space between a neuron and a muscle fiber that breaks down the excitatory neurotransmitter chemical that originally caused the muscle fiber to contract called?
acetylcholinesterase
The ability of muscle tissue to shorten and thicken is called what?
contract...
What is it called when white muscle fibers that contract quickly?
Fast-twitch muscle fibers.
What phase is between stimulus of a muscle and the shortening of the muscle?
The phase between the stimulus of a muscle and the shortening of the muscle is called the latent phase or latent period. During this phase, the muscle is receiving the signal to contract, but actual muscle shortening has not yet occurred. This period is important for the muscle fibers to prepare and generate enough force for contraction.
Which type of tissue can contract?
Muscle tissue is the type of tissue that can contract. This includes skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissues. Muscle contraction is a key function that enables movement and various physiological processes in the body.
What is a group of muscle cells called?
Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue. The muscle cells contract and elongate to make the movement in the body parts. Muscle cells are found in several specialized forms such as Cardiac, skeletal or smooth muscles etc.Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue.

What are tissue made up of interconnected elongated cells that contract and relax called?
Tissues made up of interconnected elongated cells that contract and relax are called muscle tissues. These cells are specialized for generating force through the contraction and relaxation process, allowing movement in the body. Examples include skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissue.
What is the muscle action called that pushes food though the intestine?
peristalsis
What is needed for living muscle to contract?
A living muscle needs oxygen in the blood and muscle elasticity to contract and move.
Howdo muscles move in your body?
Muscles make possible every move we make, even when we are sleeping. Your muscles move according to what they are fromed. To be more specific, a muscle is made up of many bundles of muscle fibers. Each of these bundles of fibers is called a motor unit. Each unit has a motor nerve which branches out at its tip. Each muscle fiber, therefore, has its own nerve ending to stimulate it. An electrochemical impulse is transmitted by chemicals from the nerve ending to the fiber, causing the fiber in that motor unit to contract and this is how each muscle of your body moves.
