What else can I help you with?
What is the pattern of repeated muscle contractions called?
a spasm
What the functions of cardiac muscle?
the cardiac muscle is your heart. you tell me. ever heard of cardiac arrest? its also called a heart attack.
Which tissue has intercalated discs?
Cardiac muscle tissue has intercalated discs, which are specialized structures that help with communication and coordination of muscle contractions in the heart.
Can skeletal muscle be tetanised?
Yes, because of the short refractory period of skeletal muscle (compared to cardiac muscle), skeletal muscle can be restimulated before the muscle is completely relaxed. If repeated enough times, the contractions fuse together i.e. they become tetanised.
What is a rhythmic contraction?
A rhythmic contraction refers to a repeated pattern of muscle contractions at regular intervals. This can occur in various muscles in the body, including the heart muscle during the cardiac cycle. Rhythmic contractions are important for fundamental physiological processes such as pumping blood or generating movement.
Uncontrolled muscle contractions the same as skeletal muscle contractions?
Uhh, no uncontrolled muscle contraction occurs in smooth and cardiac muscles... there are many differences between these two types of muscles; controlled and uncontrolled muscle contraction.....
How do you describe the cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle. The cells of cardiac muscle have only one nucleus. The layer of the heart that contains cardiac muscle is called the myocardium.
Damage to the sinoatrial node in humans?
would disrupt the rate and timing of cardiac muscle contractions
Which type of muscles performs which type of contractions?
cardiac muscle , not sure ... I'm a student at Utas
The difference between the structure of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?
One key difference between cardiac and skeletal muscles is that skeletal muscles are controlled by the nervous system, while cardiac muscles move involuntarily. In addition, cardiac muscles are only found in the heart, while skeletal muscles are found throughout the entire body.
The heart is called what muscle?
It is called cardiac muscle, or myocardium.
How does the cardiac muscle impact your circulatory system?
Cardiac muscle, or myocardium, is responsible for the rhythmic contractions of the heart, which pump blood throughout the circulatory system. Its unique structure allows for coordinated contractions, ensuring efficient blood flow to the lungs for oxygenation and to the rest of the body to supply nutrients. The strength and timing of these contractions directly influence blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health, making cardiac muscle essential for maintaining proper circulation and organ function. Any dysfunction in cardiac muscle can lead to serious circulatory issues, such as heart failure or arrhythmias.
