The myogenic heart refers to the contractile part of it, while the neurogenic heart refers to the highly specialized muscle cells that no longer contract but instead conduct impulses in the heart.

What are myogenic cells?

Myogenic cells are muscle precursor cells that have the ability to differentiate into muscle cells. They play a crucial role in muscle development, growth, and repair. Myogenic cells are typically found in skeletal muscle tissue.


What is the difference between the fastest man and the fastest woman?

The main difference is in their physical capabilities due to biological factors like muscle mass, hormones, and body composition. Generally, men tend to have higher levels of testosterone which can contribute to greater muscle mass and strength, giving them a physical advantage in speed compared to women.


Is there a difference in tonus between dominant and non dominant forearms?

Yes, there can be differences in muscle tone between dominant and non-dominant forearms. The dominant forearm is usually more developed and may have greater muscle tone due to being used more frequently for daily activities. Strengthening exercises and activities that target the non-dominant forearm can help balance out muscle tone between the two arms.


The electrical charge resulting from the difference between the positive and negative ions outside and?

The electrical charge resulting from the difference between positive and negative ions outside a cell is called the membrane potential. This potential difference is essential for processes like nerve impulses and muscle contractions. The cell membrane selectively allows ions to move in and out, creating an imbalance that generates the membrane potential.


What is the space between the nerve and muscle called?

The space between a nerve and muscle is called the neuromuscular junction. This is where the nerve endings release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, which signal the muscle to contract.

What does Myogenic Mean?

The word myogenic means that the origin is in the muscles. This is in order to differentiate between nerve and muscle origin.


Is Human heart is myogenic or neurogenic?

In the human heart, contraction is initiated by a special modified heart muscle known as sinoatrial node. It is located in the right atrium. The SA node has the inherent power of generating a wave of contraction and controlling the heart beat. Hence, it is known as the pacemaker. Since the heart beat is initiated by the SA node and the impulse of contraction originates in the heart itself, the human heart is termed myogenic. The hearts of vertebrates and molluscs are also myogenic.


What is a neurogenic muscle?

Muscle in which contraction is initiated in the central nervous system is said to be neurogenic.


What is the definition for myogenic?

myogenic refers to the contraction of cardiac muscle cells.

How are single unit and multi-unit smooth muscle cells alike and different?

Single-unit smooth muscle are coupled with one another through gap junctions and they work as a single unit (wave-like). I believe this is myogenic. Multi-unit smooth muscle on the other hand, act indepently (not wave-like) and are neurogenic (stimulated by neurons). These are not coupled by jap junctions like the single-unit smooth muscle are.

What mechanism is the general tendency of vascular smooth muscle to contract when stretched?

myogenic


What is local myogenic spasm?

Muscle Spasm, this would be referring to when a blood vessel is broken, the response to fix it would be vasoconstriction. A myogenic spasm would aid in the loss of blood by briefly constricting the muscle where the broken blood vessel is located.


Whats the difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy?

The difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy is that muscle hypertrophy is the increase in size of skeletal muscle while muscle mass is the weight of your body muscle.
