What else can I help you with?
When a weak but smooth muscle contraction is desired blank are stimulated at a rapid rate?
few motor units :)
When a weak but smooth muscle are desired what are stimulated at a rapid rate?
few motor units
Which type of muscle ca be stimulated by norepinephrine?
smooth muscle
What of the muscle tissue can sustain longer contraction?
smooth muscle
Where are the calcium ions stored in a muscle fiber?
Calcium ions in muscle fibers are stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is a specialized form of endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells. When a muscle is stimulated to contract, the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions into the cytoplasm, triggering muscle contraction.
Which type of muscle CANNOT contract without being stimulated by the nervous system?
Cardiac muscle. Unlike skeletal and smooth muscle, the contraction of cardiac muscle is involuntary and requires stimulation from the nervous system. This ensures that the contractions of the heart are synchronized and coordinated.
What are smooth muscle contractions stimulated by?
Smooth muscle contractions are primarily stimulated by the autonomic nervous system, which releases neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine and norepinephrine. Additionally, hormones like oxytocin and epinephrine can also promote contraction. Mechanical stretch and local factors, such as changes in pH or oxygen levels, may further influence smooth muscle activity. These contractions are important for various bodily functions, including digestion and blood vessel regulation.
A maximal sustained muscle contraction is called a?
tetanic contraction.
What conditions cause contractions of arteriole smooth muscle?
Asthma causes contraction of the bronchial smooth muscle.
What are the muscles that are slow in contraction and relaxation?
smooth muscle
What does noradrenaline do?
It can cause vascular smooth muscle contraction
What is the type of contraction that Peristalsis is seen in?
smooth muscle
