Technically the muscular system refers to all three types of muscle tissues; skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. However, the cardiac and smooth muscles can be considered functional units of other systems as well. In the case of the cardiac muscle it would be the cardiovascular system and in the case of smooth muscle it would most likely be the digestive system. I say most likely because the largest amount of smooth muscle is associated with the digestive system and the gastrointestinal tract, but it is also a part of other systems and organs. Here a a few examples: muscular lining of arterioles in the cardiovascular system and the muscular lining of the urinary bladder in the excretory system.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of tissue is the muscular system made of?
The muscular system is made of a type of tissue called muscle tissue. There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Each type has unique characteristics and functions within the body.
What are 3 types of muscle tissue that performs muscular system?
Skeletal muscle smooth muscle cardiac muscle
Is the cardiac muscle in the muscular or respiratory system?
The cardiac muscle is the heart. The heart is in the cardiovascular system, despite that the tissue makes a muscle.
What type of muscle tissue is the main component of the organs of the muscular system?
Skeletal
Where is muscular tissues found?
Muscular tissue is found throughout the body, attached to bones for movement (skeletal muscle), around internal organs for contraction (smooth muscle), and making up the heart for pumping blood (cardiac muscle).
An inherited degenerative disease of the muscular system where the muscles weaken and atrophy and become replaced with fatty tissue is called?
An inherited degenerative disease of the muscular system characterized by muscle weakness, atrophy, and replacement of muscle tissue with fatty tissue is called muscular dystrophy. The most common form is Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which primarily affects boys and leads to progressive muscle degeneration. This condition results from mutations in genes responsible for muscle function, ultimately impairing mobility and overall physical health.
What is the muscular tissue that is involuntary?
Cardiac and smooth muscle
Does your heart have anything to do with the muscular system?
Yes, the heart itself is mostly made of muscle, the cardiac muscle, plus connective tissue. Cardiac Muscle is only found in the heart.
Does the heart have anything to do with the muscular system?
Yes, the heart itself is mostly made of muscle, the cardiac muscle, plus connective tissue. Cardiac Muscle is only found in the heart.
The heart muscle is composed of a specialized type of muscle tissue called?
the cardiac muscle also known as myocardium is a muscular tissue of the heart
What type of tissue makes up the nonconducting skeleton of the heart?
Muscle tissue.
What the only tissue in your body that is able to contract or shorten?
muscular tissue
