What is the difference between structural and functional proteins?
Structural Proteins form Structures, like bones and muscle. Functional Proteins are you used to do stuff, so pretty much everything else
How are areas in the skeleton that can be moved called?
muscle
How would you describe the medical condition myopathy?
Skeletal muscle diseases, or myopathies, are disorders with structural changes or functional impairment of the muscle, usually presenting as muscle weakness.
What are the units of contraction within a muscle fiber called?
The units of contraction within a muscle fiber are called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are the basic functional and structural units of striated muscle tissue, composed of actin and myosin filaments. They are organized in a repeating pattern along the length of the muscle fiber, allowing for coordinated contraction and relaxation during muscle activity.
What is the functional unit of a muscle called?
Sarcomere
How do you skeleton muscles move bones?
In order to work, a skeletal muscle must have both ends connected to he skeleton. The end of a muscle that does not move is called its origin. The other end is attached to the bone it moves, and is called insertion.
Why is an individual skeleton muscle cell referred to as a muscle fiber?
An individual skeletal muscle cell is referred to as a muscle fiber because of its elongated, thread-like shape that resembles a fiber. These muscle fibers are multi-nucleated and contain specialized structures called myofibrils, which are responsible for contraction. The term "fiber" underscores the cell's role in forming the overall muscle tissue, emphasizing its function and structural characteristics.
What type of skeleton is composed of muscle and fluid .?
A hydraulic skeleton is composed of muscle and fluid.
What are the General structural and functional differences between a nerve and smooth muscle cell?
The general structural and functional differences between a nerve cell and a smooth muscle cell are as follows. A nerve cell, controls the nervous system and automatic functions a smooth muscle cell is located in the smooth muscle where the nerve cell is.
What is a example of skeletal muscle?
The biceps - any muscle attached to the skeleton.
What muscle covers shapes and supports skeleton?
All muscle
What muscle are attached to the skeleton?
Tendons
