What else can I help you with?
What are rodlike structures within skeletal muscles that contain filaments organized into sarcomeres?
myofilaments
What are adipose cells?
Adipose is specialized to produce and contain large globules of fat. It is usually located just below the skin, between the muscles and intestines.
What are muscles you do not control called?
involuntary muscles. Stomach, intestines and your heart are examples.
What is the wide tube of muscles connected to your small intestines called?
These muscles are called the tunica muscularis.
The muscles that are found in the esophagus and the intestines are?
The muscles found in the esophagus and intestines are primarily smooth muscles, which are involuntary and not under conscious control. In the esophagus, these muscles facilitate the movement of food through peristalsis, while in the intestines, they help in the digestion and movement of food along the gastrointestinal tract. Smooth muscle contractions in these areas are essential for proper digestive function.
What are the names of some involuntary muscles?
heart, stomach, intestines
How does contraction of the muscles of the esophagus stomach and intestines help in digestion?
no
What do skeletel muscles contain?
Skeletal muscles contain muscle fibers, which are long, cylindrical cells that are multinucleated and striated due to the organization of actin and myosin filaments. They also contain connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves, which supply nutrients and facilitate movement. Additionally, skeletal muscles have specialized structures called tendons that attach them to bones, enabling voluntary movement of the skeletal system.
What is urnia?
you may be speaking of a Hurnia, an injury to the stomach muscles when the intestines come through the muscles of the stomach
What holds your intestines in place after hysterectomy?
After a hysterectomy, the intestines are held in place primarily by the surrounding ligaments, muscles, and connective tissues within the abdominal cavity. The pelvic floor muscles and the peritoneum, a membrane lining the abdominal wall and covering the organs, also provide support. While the uterus is removed, these structures help maintain the position of the intestines and other pelvic organs. In some cases, surgical techniques may involve reinforcing these supports to ensure stability post-surgery.
What are some example of non-striated muscles?
Non-striated muscles, also known as smooth muscles, are found in various organs and structures throughout the body. Examples include the muscles in the walls of blood vessels, the digestive tract (such as the stomach and intestines), and the respiratory system (like the bronchi). These muscles are involuntary, meaning they function autonomously without conscious control, facilitating processes such as digestion and circulation.
What muscled are involuntary?
Involutary muscles are muscles that you can not control. Examples are smooth muscle (in the esophagus, iris, intestines, etc) and cardiac muscle.
