What else can I help you with?
What conditions cause contractions of arteriole smooth muscle?
Asthma causes contraction of the bronchial smooth muscle.
What are contract muscles?
Smooth Muscle contractions are regulated by calcium ions. The smooth muscle differs from skeletal muscle in that its contracts from all sides.
What type of muscles line the bladder to allow for contractions?
smooth muscle
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.....
What process involves the contractions of smooth muscle that propel urine through the ureter?
peristalsis
Muscle is involuntary and has few mitochondria?
This statement is incorrect. Muscle tissue can be either voluntary (skeletal muscle) or involuntary (smooth and cardiac muscle). Additionally, muscle cells (myocytes) have numerous mitochondria to provide energy for muscle contractions.
The process of swallowing uses muscular contractions of muscle tissue?
Smooth for a+ kids. This means you too dom!
Potassium poisoning causes and symptoms?
Arrhthmyia of the heart, problems with smooth and skeletal muscle contractions; hyperkalemia can even stop the heart muscle.
What term describes a series a wavelike contractions of the smooth muscles in a single direction?
The wavelike contractions of the smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal system are called peristalsis. The purpose of peristalsis is to push boluses of food along the gastrointestinal tract. This is achieved by the waves of contractions in the smooth muscle followed by relaxation of the muscles, pushing the bolus (ball of food) a bit further along the digestive tract with each contraction. These contractions move food or chyme through the esophagus, and intestines. The same contractions also move urine down the ureter to the bladder.
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.
What type ofr tissue is responsible for contractions that account for movement of organs of the entire body?
Smooth muscle tissue is responsible for contractions that account for the movement of organs in the entire body. This type of muscle tissue is involuntary, meaning it contracts without conscious control, and is found in the walls of hollow organs like the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. Smooth muscle contractions help with processes like digestion, circulation, and breathing.
What type of muscle controls digestion?
Your intestines contain a medial layer of smooth muscle. When the smooth muscle in your intestines is innervated this causes contractions of those smooth muscles. This action then propels food through the intestines. This is called peristalsis. So, as far as I know there are no other muscle groups that aide in digestions. There are however, a plethora of chemicals and enzymes that assist in the digestive process.
