Neither; the cerebellum functions in the excretory process which INCLUDES smooth muscle.


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.

What type of muscle tissue Carries out functions such as peristalsis?

Smooth muscle tissue is responsible for carrying out functions such as peristalsis, which is the rhythmic contraction that moves food through the digestive tract. This involuntary muscle type is found in the walls of hollow organs, including the intestines and blood vessels. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle is not striated and is controlled by the autonomic nervous system.


What are the 3 different muscle types?

The 3 different types of muscle are smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is located on the walls of hollow organs, cardiac muscle is located on the wall of the heart, and skeletal muscle is located on skeletal muscle organs (most organs). Their functions include movement in walls of hollow organs, pumping of blood, and movement of bones, heat production and posture, respectively. Cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary, whereas skeletal muscle is voluntary. Both cardiac and skeletal muscles have striations, but smooth muscle does not.

What parts of the brain affect smooth muscle?

Smooth muscle is primarily controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is regulated by various brain regions, including the hypothalamus and brainstem. The hypothalamus plays a key role in homeostasis and autonomic functions, while the medulla oblongata and pons in the brainstem help regulate vital functions such as heart rate and digestion, influencing smooth muscle activity in organs. Additionally, the spinal cord contributes to reflex actions that can affect smooth muscle contraction.


Muscle tissue that shows no striations?

Smooth muscle tissue, also known as non-striated muscle, is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines and blood vessels. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle lacks the characteristic striped pattern (striations) due to its different structure and organization of contractile proteins. Smooth muscle is involuntary and contracts slowly and rhythmically to perform functions like moving substances through the body.
