What muscle tissue is found in the viscera?
The muscle tissue found in the viscera is smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated, allowing it to contract and relax automatically to facilitate functions such as digestion and blood flow within internal organs. This type of muscle is essential for the movement of substances through the digestive tract, blood vessels, and other hollow organs.
What is the action of the superficial transversus perinei?
assists other muscles in support the pelvic viscera.
What part of the brain regulates visceral activities and involuntary results?
The heart controls all activity and function of viscera. The heart is located in the autonomic nervous system.
What muscles function to protect the abdominal viscera?
The muscles that function to protect the abdominal viscera include the rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, and the transversus abdominis. These muscles form a muscular wall that supports and encases the abdominal organs, providing structural integrity and stability. Additionally, they play a crucial role in movements such as flexion, rotation, and stabilization of the trunk, further aiding in the protection of the abdominal cavity. Overall, their coordinated action helps prevent injury to the underlying viscera during physical activity and trauma.

What organ does autonomic belongs to?
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates the functions of our internal organs (the viscera) such as the heart, stomach and intestines. The ANS is part of the peripheral nervous system and it also controls some of the muscles within the body. We are often unaware of the ANS because it functions involuntary and reflexively. For example, we do not notice when blood vessels change size or when our heart beats faster. However, some people can be trained to control some functions of the ANS such as heart rate or blood pressure.
What is an example of visceral smooth muscle?
It's found mainly in the wall of hollow viscera e.g. gut, ureters and many blood vessels
What does vasodilation in the skin and viscera result from?
Vasodilation in the skin and viscera results from the relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels. This relaxation causes the blood vessels to widen, increasing blood flow to the skin and internal organs. Vasodilation helps regulate body temperature and can occur in response to various stimuli like heat, exercise, or injury.
What is found in the walls of organs or viscera?
In the walls of organs or viscera, you would typically find layers of tissue that provide structural support, regulate blood flow, and facilitate the organ's function. These layers may include smooth muscle, connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.
What is the singular for viscera?
The singular form of viscera is viscus.
What is thecollective namefor the contentsof our ventralcavity?
the viscera
What are The double layer sheets of serous membrane that support the viscera called?
The double layer sheets of serous membrane that support the viscera are called mesenteries. Mesenteries hold organs in place within the abdominal cavity and provide a pathway for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to reach the organs.
