What is cardiac smooth muscle?
There is nothing really called 'cardiac smooth muscle'. Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle but it is not under your control like skeletal muscle is. It acts more like smooth muscle because of this reason. But we only use the terms smooth muscle, striated (skeletal) muscle or cardiac muscle.
What are the 3 subtypes of muscle tissue?
Striated,smooth,and skelital cardiac, skeletal, and smooth
Does a cardiac muscle control digestion?
No, cardiac muscles only control the involuntary beating of your heart. Smooth muscles control digestion.
Muscle type with striations but not under voluntary control is called?
skeletalMuscle
What type of muscle tissue is voluntarily controlled?
Generally, skeletal muscle is voluntarily controlled and smooth muscle is not. Some structures have a combination of both. For example, the bladder is made up of smooth muscle and consists of some skeletal muscle at the sphincter which is capable of "holding" it until you are ready.
What type of muscle is the heart formed from?
The heart is made of smooth and cardiac muscle
Is an ulcer a cardiac muscle or a smooth muscle?
Smooth muscle
What is the muscle tissue found in the heart?
Smooth cardiac muscle.
What are the key differences in the structure and function between smooth muscle and cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, while cardiac muscle is found in the heart. Smooth muscle is involuntary and under autonomic control, while cardiac muscle is also involuntary but has its own specialized conduction system. Smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped and have a single nucleus, while cardiac muscle cells are branched and have one or two nuclei. Smooth muscle contracts slowly and rhythmically, while cardiac muscle contracts quickly and continuously.
Three types of muscle and give an example for them?
Cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscles.the three types of muscle in the body: cardiac (heart), skeletal (biceps, quadriceps etc.), and smooth muscle (found in the intestinal tract such as stomach and colon).
Which two muscle types are controlled involuntarily?
Smooth muscles and cardiac muscles are controlled involuntarily - they are not under conscious control. Smooth muscles control functions such as digestion and blood vessel constriction, while cardiac muscles control the beating of the heart.
What are the three types of muscles?
The three types of muscle are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle.Well anatomically speaking the three primary types of muscles are: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
