What else can I help you with?
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.
Bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles is called?
Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones by tough cords called tendons. When nerve signals are sent from the brain and spinal cord, these muscles contract to produce movement.
What is a target movement?
A movement that targets one muscle or one section of a muscle.
What is the word for muscular contraction involving muscle movement?
Isotonic contractions are the type that involve muscle movement. This movement is due to a change in length as the muscle fibers shorten or lengthen.
What is the rhythmic movement of the visceral muscle?
smooth muscle
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.
Is synergist a helper muscle in skeletal muscle movement?
Yes, a synergist is a helper muscle that assists the prime mover (agonist) during skeletal muscle movement. Synergists can stabilize joints and facilitate more efficient movement by working alongside the primary muscle responsible for a specific action. They play a crucial role in coordinating muscle contractions and ensuring smooth movement.
What is the significance of the arrangement of skeletal muscle bands in muscle contraction?
The arrangement of skeletal muscle bands in muscle contraction is significant because it allows for efficient and coordinated movement. The bands, made up of actin and myosin filaments, slide past each other during contraction, causing the muscle to shorten and generate force. This arrangement enables muscles to contract quickly and with precision, allowing for smooth and controlled movements.
What does a smooth muscle provide?
Smooth muscle is responsible for involuntary movement, just like skeletal muscle, only the movement is usually in the internal organs.
What control the movement of these muscle?
YOU!
The rhythmic movement of visceral muscle is called what?
smooth muscle
What is the medical term for a muscle that acts with another muscle to produce movement?
synergistic muscle
