Where is smooth muscle and what are its functions?
Smooth muscles are an involuntary non-striated muscles. It is divided into two sub-groups; the Single unit (unitary) and multiunit smooth muscle Hope this helps! :)
Are cardiac muscles considered smooth muscles?
No, cardiac muscles are not considered smooth muscles. Cardiac muscles are a specialized type of muscle found in the heart that is striated (has a striped appearance under a microscope) and functions involuntarily. Smooth muscles, on the other hand, are found in organs such as blood vessels and the digestive tract, and do not have striations.
Which type of muscles is found in internal organs?
The internal organs except for the heart have smooth muscle. The heart has myocardial muscle.
3 areas where smooth muscles can be found?
Esophogus/ Stomach/ and BladderAny hollow organs except the heart
What s the type of muscle tissue found in the walls of many organs and blood vessels in the body?
That would be involuntary or smooth muscles. Voluntary muscles are those which you use at will, like your biceps and triceps. Cardiac muscles are those found in the heart.
What functions does a smooth muscle perform in the human body?
Smooth muscles perform various functions in the human body, including regulating the movement of internal organs, controlling blood flow, and assisting in the digestion process.
Can you contract your smooth and cardiac muscles on purpose?
Smooth Muscles can, but Cardiac Muscles can not.
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.
Which of the following structures do not contain smooth muscle A brain B heart C arm muscles D leg muscles E intestines?
These structures do not contain smooth muscle A brain - The brain does not contain muscles!C arm musclesD leg musclesThese DO contain smooth muscle:B heartE intestines
Are smooth muscles involuntary muscles?
yes. The smooth muscles (e.g. in the digestive tract) are involuntary.
What muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and operate the internal organs?
Smooth muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and are responsible for the involuntary actions of internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, blood vessels, and bladder. These muscles regulate functions like digestion, circulation, and urination without conscious effort.
What tissue type functions in contraction?
Muscle tissue functions in contraction. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are involved in voluntary movements, smooth muscles are found in organs and blood vessels and help with involuntary movements, and cardiac muscle is found in the heart and helps with pumping blood.
