This can be answered on several different levels, but let me take the simpliest.
Major types of muscles:
- Skeletal - associated with bones - see more info below.
- Cardiac - muscle of the heart specializing in electrical communication
- Viseral or Smooth - lines all tubes and has the movement called peristalsis
- Hinge Joint - movement is extension or flexion
- Condyloid Joint - movement is pronation or supination
- Ball & Socket Joint - abduction & adduction are the first of many movements.
- Pivot Joint - movement is rotation
- And the list goes on. . . .
What else can I help you with?
How many types of muscles are there in humans?
There are three types of muscles:Skeletal muscle- Muscle of exterior (ex. triceps, biceps)Smooth muscle- Muscle of interior organs (ex. lungs, stomach)Cardiac muscle- Muscle of heart (ex. heart)
What are the three types of muscles?
The three types of muscle are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle.Well anatomically speaking the three primary types of muscles are: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
What muscle types allow only involuntary movement?
Smooth Muscles & Cardiac Muscles
Which types of muscles are involuntary?
Of the three types of muscle, the two that are involuntary are cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.
What tissue is responsible for movement?
cerebellum directing the muscles
What muscles do muscle cells form?
Muscle cells form all three types of muscle tissue.
What type of body tissue shortens and contracts?
Muscle tissue. You have three types of muscles. Skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles.
Which muscle types allow only involuntary movement?
smooth and cardiac muscles :D
What are some different types of muscles?
There are three muscle types, skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal and cardiac are both striated muscle, whereas smooth muscle is not.
Which tissue allow the body to move by stretching and contracting?
Muscle tissue is responsible for allowing the body to move by stretching and contracting. Muscles are made up of muscle fibers that can shorten (contract) and lengthen (stretch) to produce movement. Skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles are the three main types of muscle tissue in the body.
What kind of muscle can you consciously contro smooth muscle or skeletal muscle?
There are three types of muscles. Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are the only ones you can voluntarily control.
These muscles are controlled by the nervous system?
All muscles, all three types; skeletal muscle that moves your body, smooth muscle of the internal organs, and cardiac muscle of the heart.
