The two ways that the nervous system can control the force generated by a muscle are by increasing amount and size of contactable muscle units and increasing how often action potentials are sent from the brain to the muscle.

Which effector is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?

Skeletal muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, with motor neurons from the somatic nervous system providing the neural input for their activation. Autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.


Why does the ANS not control the skeletal muscle?

because skeletal muscle is voluntary, the autonomic nervous system is that of involuntary impulses


Which of these parts receive nerve impulses from the central nerous system causing muscle fibers to contract?

The motor neurons carry impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles. These impulses may be generated autonomically (instinctively) or through voluntary control by the brain.


Does most disorders of the autonomic nervous system refeclt abnormalities of smooth muscle control?

True


What is the type of muscle that is found in the digestive tract and blood vessels?

Smooth muscle (under involuntary control by the autonomic nervous system).


What is is the type of muscle that is found in the digestive tract and blood vessels?

Smooth muscle (under involuntary control by the autonomic nervous system).


Where does cerebral palsy affect?

CP affects the nervous system - mainly affects the motor control such as muscle control and muscle tone - the somatosensory cortex is located in the cerebrum


What type of movement does the autonomic system control?

The somatic nervous system regulates skeletal muscle tissue, while the ANS services smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glandular tissue.


What component of the nervous system regulates voluntary muscle responses to external stimuli?

The somatic nervous system is voluntary because one can consciously control the responses.


The portion of the nervous system that most closely associated with the contraction of cardiac muscle is The?

The portion of the nervous system that is most closely associated with the contraction of the cardiac muscle is the autonomic nervous system.


What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?

The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary smooth muscle.


Why a can nervous disorder affect motion?

Yes. A nervous disorder can affect motion. Muscles are controlled by the nervous system so malfunctions can cause muscle movements to be disturbed. In extreme cases such as ALS it can cause lost of muscle control entirely.
