What else can I help you with?
What do muscles produce?
Muscles provide movement, especially the skeletal muscles. The smooth muscles in our organs produce movement called peristalsis or tonic contraction which holds sphincters closed.
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.
How does the skeleton produce movement?
Your skeleton does not actually produce movement. That is the job of your muscles. When they contract they pull on bones which are joined together by joints. The joints function much the same as a fulcrum and produce three different types of levers depending on where the muscles attach. The most stable attachment is called the origin, and the more movable one is called the insertion. It is the bone that has the insertion end of the muscle that we are familiar with as the bone that moves.
What ist the process called that causes the cell to contract or shorten?
This process is called contraction. Muscles shorten or contract to produce movement.
What Fiberous bands hold muscles together?
The fibrous bands that hold muscles together are called tendons and fascia. Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing for movement and stability, while fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, groups of muscles, and other structures, providing support and facilitating movement. Together, they help maintain the structural integrity of the muscular system.
Application of muscular force with movement is called?
The application of muscular force with movement is called muscle contraction. This occurs when muscles generate tension and shorten in length to produce movement such as lifting a weight or running.
What muscle opposes the prime movers?
Of all the muscles contracting simulataneously, the one that is mainly responsible for producing a particular movement is called the prime mover for that movement. The other muscles that help in producing the movement are called synergists. As prime movers and synergists muscles at a joint contract, other muscles, called antagonist muscles, relax.When antagonist muscles contract, they produce a movement opposite to that of the prime movers and their synergist muscles. -- I wrote kind of alot so you can under stand it just in case if you don't :)
Muscles that contract to bring two bones closer together are called?
The muscles that contract to bring two bones closer together are called flexor muscles. These muscles work by decreasing the angle between the two bones, resulting in movement such as bending the arm or leg.
Shortening of the muscles that causes movement is called?
Atrophy
What are muscles that work in opposing pairs called?
One is the agonist and the other is called the antagonist. Agonist: muscle which is the main mover, it contracts and shortens Antagonist: muscle that lengthens and controls e.g. flexion at the elbow: the biceps are the agonist and the triceps are the antagonist.
What muscles are called voluntary muscles?
because its attach to the bones movement is a shorten shorten contrast
What muscles do you control the movement of?
they are called caultonary muscles. YOU want to use them
