What else can I help you with?
Is it true a function of the smooth muscles is to make the bones move?
No, it is not true that smooth muscles make the bones move. Smooth muscles are primarily found in the walls of internal organs and are responsible for involuntary movements, such as the contraction of the digestive tract and blood vessels. Bone movement is primarily facilitated by skeletal muscles, which are attached to bones via tendons and are under voluntary control.
Striated muscles are located in the walls of internal organs such as the digestive tract?
Actually, striated muscles are typically found in the skeletal muscles of the body responsible for voluntary movements, while smooth muscles are located in the walls of internal organs like the digestive tract to facilitate involuntary movements, such as peristalsis.
Compare and contrast voluntary and involuntary muscles?
Involuntary muscles are muscles that you can't control. Such as the internal muscles. Involuntary muscles are the muscles that work by themselves without you personally doing anything to work them. Voluntary muscles are the muscles that you're in control with. An example of voluntary muscles would be when you sit down, or when you turn a page in a book. Voluntary muscles are muscles that you can control easier by yourself than with lots of help from your other muscles like you would need for your involuntary muscles. In short, the differences between the two are the fact that involuntary muscles are controlled without your help, and voluntary muscles work with your help because they are easier to work.
Is the quadriceps muscles in the leg and example of a smooth muscle?
No, the quadriceps muscles in the leg are not an example of smooth muscle; they are skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control and are responsible for movement and stability. In contrast, smooth muscles are involuntary and found in structures such as blood vessels and the digestive tract.
What are the structures of the muscular system?
It depends what you mean there is the skeletal system of muscles made up of voluntary muscles (Meaning you control them), Smooth muscle in parts of the body such as the stomach and intestines that move by peristalsis (rings of muscle that propel foods and wastes through the digestive system), and voluntary muscle categories like your heart that moves on its own. Also, stratified muscles run in vertical paths and have cross bands, usually found in the skeletal muscles
List of voluntary muscles?
All the muscles that allow you to move your body are called voluntary as you have to think about it and the nervous system makes them respond. There are two others: smooth muscles which are involuntary and are found in the digestive tract for example and cardiac muscle found in the heart. It is also involuntary.
Both skeletal and cardiac muscles are this?
Both skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated muscles.
What are 3 places smooth muscles can be found?
Smooth muscles can be found in the walls of blood vessels, the digestive tract, and the respiratory system.
What kind of muscle is found in the digestive track and the blood vessels?
Smooth muscles are found here.
Why are voluntary muscles known as skeletal muscles?
The terms voluntary and skeletal muscle are rally for the same muscle type. These are muscles that move the body by using bones as levers (skeletal) and we have to use our brain and nervous system to make the move (voluntary).Involuntary muscles are found in all of our hollow organs except the heart and these do not require input from the brain.
Are monoamines the only neurotransmitters found between motor neurons and voluntary muscles?
No, that would be Acetylcholine
What are the muscles called that cannot be controlled?
There are some muscles in the body we cannot control: they are called involuntary muscles and cardiac muscles. Involuntary muscles are found in the digestive tract for example. Cardiac muscles are found in the heart. Neither these two muscle types are controlled. We can control what are called voluntary muscles which are the muscles that were used to move our bones.
