What are muscles cells called?
Muscle fibres
What are the fibers that muscles are made of called?
Muscle fibers, or muscle cells, are made up of two kinds of fibers, or myofilaments. The thin ones are called actin, and the thick ones are called myosin.
What are the smooth muscle fibers called that support the lens?
The smooth muscle fibers that support the lens in the eye are called ciliary muscles. These muscles contract and relax to change the shape of the lens, allowing for accommodation and focusing on objects at different distances.
What is the fiber direction of a cats internal oblique muscles?
The cat's muscle fibers run perpendicular to its internal oblique muscles. The fibers of the external oblique muscles run opposite of the muscles.
What is the most muscles contain?
fibers
What do the middle fibers of the deltoid muscles do?
The middle fibers of the deltoid abduct the arm.
What is it called when muscles and nerves group together?
When muscles and nerves group together, it is called a motor unit. A motor unit consists of a single motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates. When the motor neuron fires, all the muscle fibers in the motor unit contract together.
What are muscles?
Muscles are tissues composed of fibers, the contraction of which produces movement in the body.
Are there fast twitch muscles in your legs?
There are fast twitch muscles fibers in all of your muscles, especially in your legs.
The actual cells that the muscles are made of are called?
The actual cells that muscles are made of are called muscle fibers or myocytes. These specialized cells are responsible for contraction and are categorized into three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle fibers. Each type has distinct structures and functions, enabling movement and various involuntary processes in the body.
Are muscles made of little fibers?
Yes, muscles are made up of muscle fibers. If you want to know more about muscles go to this site: http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_body/body_basics/bones_muscles_joints.html#
How do bones and muscles work to have movement?
The neuromuscular junction. A chemical called neurotransmitter is released from a neuron to stimulate the muscle fibers to contract.
