What else can I help you with?
Does the trachea have skeletal muscle?
No, the trachea does not have skeletal muscle. Instead, it is composed of smooth muscle, cartilage, and connective tissue. Smooth muscle allows for involuntary control of the trachea's diameter and airflow.
What is the role of smooth muscle in blood vessels walls?
The smooth muscle, which is innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, controls the diameter of the blood vessel, and it plays an important role in blood pressure.
How does smooth muscle make blood vessels function?
Smooth muscle is mostly in the afferent branch going from the arteries to the arterioles. The body controls where blood will flow by controlling the vessel diameter. An increase in sympathetic tone constricts smooth muscle, decreases blood vessel diameter, and limits blood flow.
What muscle controls the size of the bronchioles in the lungs?
SmooTh muscle
What controls smooth muscle and cardiac muscle?
Autonomic system
Smooth muscle is found and control what?
Smooth muscle is found in your internal organs and one of the things it controls is digestion...
Muscle sphincters are composed of what two types of muscle fibers?
Smooth Muscle Fiber
The middle lining of the stomach is composed of this type of muscle tissue?
smooth muscle
What type of muscle controls digestion?
Your intestines contain a medial layer of smooth muscle. When the smooth muscle in your intestines is innervated this causes contractions of those smooth muscles. This action then propels food through the intestines. This is called peristalsis. So, as far as I know there are no other muscle groups that aide in digestions. There are however, a plethora of chemicals and enzymes that assist in the digestive process.
What muscles are in the stomach?
The stomach is composed of smooth muscle (as opposed to skeletal or cardiac muscle).
Are the lungs composed of smooth muscle?
No, the lungs are not composed of smooth muscle. They are made up of a spongy tissue called lung parenchyma, which includes air sacs and blood vessels. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of the airways leading to the lungs, called bronchioles.
What controls smooth muscle movement?
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervious system.
