Answer 2

There are three types of muscle tissue found in the human body. There are visceral muscles, which consist of smooth muscle tissue, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and responds to both hormones and neural stimulation. Smooth muscles have no striations, as the nucleus is centrally located. Thus, they are involuntarily controlled. Then, there is cardiac muscle, which is only found in the heart and is also stimulated by neural activity and hormones. Lastly, there are skeletal muscles, which aid in the movement of the body and is mostly attached to bones by means of tendons. These muscles are striated, and are voluntarily controlled. Skeletal muscles can further be sub-divided into two categories: red and white muscles. Red skeletal muscle tissue consists of a chemical not found in the white skeletal muscle called myoglobin. Myoglobin is a protein-like molecule, which aids in the storage of oxygen, which is essential to its function. Thus, this extra molecule is responsible for giving red muscles their coloring.

Answer 3

Muscle cells are in most ways identical to any other animal cell. The only major difference is that muscle cells, or myocytes contain many more mitochondria. This is because myocytes need more energy than ordinary cells, due to the large number of contractile proteins that are active. The extra mitochondria allow more sites for aerobic respiration.

Answer 4

The origin is the spot where the muscle is anchored. The insertion is the point where the muscle attaches to a movable bone. The belly of the muscle is the fleshy part that contracts and lengthens.
