What else can I help you with?
Contains the ciliary muscle of the eye?
The ciliary muscle is located within the eye and is responsible for controlling the shape of the lens, which is crucial for focusing on objects at different distances. Contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle affect the thickness of the lens, allowing for accommodation of near and far vision.
What do you think the effect of breaking down acetylcholine is on muscle contraction?
Breaking down acetylcholine can lead to muscle relaxation because acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that stimulates muscle contraction. When acetylcholine is broken down, the signal for muscle contraction is reduced, resulting in muscle relaxation.
Does muscle relaxation does not require ATP?
Both muscle relaxation and muscle contraction require ATP.
Contraction of the ciliary muscle causes the lens to bend the light less?
false
What are the 4 stages of a muscle cell?
Tonus (relaxation), Excitation (neural stimulation, Clonus (contraction), Tetanus (prolonged contraction), return to Tonus (relaxation) Or Excitation, Excitation-Contraction Coupling, Contraction, Relaxation
What are the muscles that are slow in contraction and relaxation?
smooth muscle
Is it true that ATP id required for muscle contraction but not for muscle relaxation?
true
Is the ciliary muscle part of the ciliary body?
the ciliary muscle is the smooth muscle of the ciliary body
What is the medical term meaning delayed relaxation of a muscle after a strong contraction?
The medical term for delayed relaxation of a muscle after a strong contraction is myotonia. This condition is characterized by prolonged muscle stiffness or difficulty relaxing the muscle after it has been contracted. Myotonia can occur in conditions such as myotonic dystrophy or myotonia congenita.
What happens when thin filaments in a muscles fiber slide over the thick filament?
Contraction or relaxation of muscle fibre, due to similar effect in sarcomere
What are the two main things each muscle is capable of?
contraction and relaxation
Skeletal muscle twitch differs from a tetanic contraction in that?
Skeletal muscle twitch is a single, brief contraction and relaxation cycle, whereas a tetanic contraction involves sustained, rapid repeated contractions without relaxation in between. Tetanic contractions occur when the muscle is stimulated at a high frequency, leading to a fused contraction.
