What else can I help you with?
Muscles that are responsible for producing a particular movement are called?
The primary movement is called the Prime mover or Agonist
What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
What is the muscle acting as a helper to accomplish a particular movement?
Agonist muscles are the primary muscles responsible for producing movement. However, synergist muscles are helper muscles that assist the agonist in executing a particular movement. Synergists help stabilize the movement and control the direction in which the force is exerted.
Does muscle contraction always promote movement?
No, muscle contraction doesn't always promote movement. For example, in an isometric contraction, the muscle does not change length, so movement is not produced. Additionally, some muscles can contract to stabilize joints without producing visible movement.
In a concentration contraction the muscles shorten to produce movement?
True.
Which structure-function pair is mismatched?
A mismatched structure-function pair would be the function of the pancreas as a muscle for movement. The pancreas is actually an organ responsible for producing digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin, rather than being involved in movement.
What cell type would have the most mitchondria?
Muscle cells would have the most mitochondria because they require a lot of energy to support muscle contraction and movement. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
What movement does not increase or decrease the angle between bones?
Isometric contraction is a type of muscle movement that does not result in any change in the angle between bones. This type of contraction involves the muscle producing force without changing its length or causing movement at a joint.
Muscle that is primarily responsible for bringing about a particular movement?
The muscle that is primarily responsible for bringing about a particular movement is called the prime mover or agonist muscle. It is the main muscle that contracts to create the desired movement at a joint. Antagonist muscles work in opposition to the prime mover to control the movement and prevent injury.
What neurotransmitter causes muscle movement?
Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter responsible for muscle movement. It is released from motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction to stimulate muscle contraction.
What three functional roles in a movement are used to characterize muscle groups Give a brief description of each action?
The three functional roles in a movement that are used to characterize muscle groups are Origin, Insertion, & Contraction (Actions). However my instructor argued that the key word was functional therefore the answer she felt was correct is/was agonists, antagonists, or synergists.
What part of the cytoskeleton is responsible for cell movement?
The part of the cytoskeleton responsible for cell movement is the actin filaments. Actin filaments are thin filaments that are involved in the formation of cellular protrusions and the contraction of the cell during movement. They interact with myosin motor proteins to generate the force needed for cell movement.
