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
What type of muscle can hold prolonged but slow contractions?
Smooth muscle is the type of muscle that can hold prolonged but slow contractions. It is found in the walls of hollow organs, such as the intestines and blood vessels, and operates involuntarily. Smooth muscle contractions are sustained for longer periods compared to skeletal muscle, allowing for functions like the continuous movement of food through the digestive tract.
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
What type of muscle fiber is used to provide contractions around primarily hollow organs?
The type of muscle fiber used to provide contractions around primarily hollow organs is smooth muscle. Smooth muscle fibers are involuntary and non-striated, allowing for the rhythmic and sustained contractions necessary for functions such as digestion, blood vessel regulation, and bladder control. These contractions help move substances through the organs and maintain internal processes.
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.
What are smooth muscle contractions stimulated by?
Smooth muscle contractions are primarily stimulated by the autonomic nervous system, which releases neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine and norepinephrine. Additionally, hormones like oxytocin and epinephrine can also promote contraction. Mechanical stretch and local factors, such as changes in pH or oxygen levels, may further influence smooth muscle activity. These contractions are important for various bodily functions, including digestion and blood vessel regulation.
Smooth muscle contractions occurs without the regular rearrangement of what?
Smooth muscle contractions occur without the regular rearrangement of sarcomeres, which are the structural units found in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Instead of organized sarcomeres, smooth muscle fibers have a more dispersed arrangement of actin and myosin filaments, allowing for a more sustained and rhythmic contraction. This unique structure enables smooth muscle to maintain tension over extended periods and adapt to various physiological demands.
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.
