What else can I help you with?
What smooth muscle contracts produce when an artery or arteriole is damaged?
a vascular spasm
What happens to blood pressure when the smooth muscle of an arteriole contracts?
When the radius of the smooth muscle decreases the pressure increases. So the blood pressure becomes higher
What are smooth muscle contractions?
Spindle shaped by faireena singh
Which specific cell type becomes modified into a juxtaglomerular cell?
Smooth muscle of arteriole wall.
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.
Is basement membrane part of arteriole?
Yes. The arteriole has different layers of tissue from inside to out: endothelial layer, basement membrane, smooth muscle and then the extra cellular matrix. The basement membrane is composed of collagen and fibrillin.
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.
