What else can I help you with?
Is the stenocleidomastoid muscle superior or inferior to the rectus abdominis muscle?
Sternocleidomastoid muscle is in your neck. Rectus abdominis muscle is that six pack muscle, in your abdomen. So the first muscle is superior to second one.
What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
Which of these cells are likely to have multiple nuclei skeletal muscle cardiac muscle smooth muscle or neuron?
skeletal smooth muscle neuron
What are the sensory receptors used to monitor muscle tone?
Muscle spindles are sensory receptors that monitor muscle tone. They are located within the muscle belly and are sensitive to changes in muscle length and stretch, providing feedback to the central nervous system about the state of muscle contraction.
Muscle is involuntary and has few mitochondria?
This statement is incorrect. Muscle tissue can be either voluntary (skeletal muscle) or involuntary (smooth and cardiac muscle). Additionally, muscle cells (myocytes) have numerous mitochondria to provide energy for muscle contractions.
What is the gastronemius?
The gastrocnemius muscle is located with the soleus in the posterior (back) compartment of the leg. It is associated with the "bulge" in the calf muscle.
Muscles in the lower leg?
There are two. The gastrocnemius muscle. This muscle is important in plantar flexion, allowing you to lift your heel when walking, running and jumping. Underneath it lies the soleus muscle, which, in addition to plantar flexion, continually adjusts your posture when standing and moving.
How many muscle in leg?
Nine. Front: Gracilis (inner thigh), Adductor magnus (below Gracilis), Sartorius, Quadriceps femoris (above knee), Tibialis anterior, Back:Peroneous longus (outer caf), Soleus, Gastronemius (inner caf), and Biceps femoris.
What is the name of the muscle in front of your shin?
The Gastronemius, also known as the calf. Slightly above that is the Bicep Femoris, in the back of the knee.
What kind of muscle is gastrocnemius?
The gastrocnemius muscle functions in plantar flexing the foot at the ankle joint and flexing the leg at the knee joint. It is used in standing, running, walking and jumping.The gastrocnemius muscle is locate in the back of your lower leg. It is responsible for helping with walking, running and jumping.The gastronemius muscle (or calf muscle) is used to extend the foot.flexes legThe gastrocnemius muscle is to my beleif that it is connected with the soleus and to the Achilles tendon or so called calcaneal tendon I believe that this muscle is a function that helps you move the leg farther eg. ( if you run you will feel that muscle of the back of your leg stiffen),my beleif is that when you run that muscle stretches and can causes you to run faster.When you grow up your gastrocnemius with grow larger to and the larger it gets the more it can expand. If you flex that muscle you could easily see it. I think that this muscle is what makes you run without it there we be no use for walking, running, and jogging.James Cuellar. Age.11The gastrocnemius is a large muscle group on the back of the lower leg. It helps you point your toe by pulling on your heel.
What are the 6 major muscles?
1. Trapezius (at the neck) 2. Deltoid (at the shoulder) 3. Triceps (back of the upper arm) 4. Biceps (front of the upper arm) 5. Latissimus Dorsi (back) 6. Gluteus Maximus (bum) 7. Hamstring (Back of the femur) 8. Quadriceps (Front of the femur) 9. Gastronemius (Calf muscle behind the tibia and fibula) 10. Abdominals (Stomach) 11. Pectorals (Chest) 12. Sternocleidonastoid (a neck muscle)
What type of muscle is the tricep muscle?
A skeletal muscle.
What connects muscle to muscle and connective tissue to muscle?
Muscle does not connect to muscle. Fascia is a connective tissue that connects muscle to organs. Tendons connect muscle to bone.
How are individual muscle cells different from the muscle tissue in the bicep muscle?
Muscle cells are smaller than muscle tissues.
What type of muscle is associated with type of muscle?
there is a thigh muscle its a skeletal muscle
What binds muscle to bone and muscle to muscle?
Tendons tie muscles to bones and ligaments tie muscle to muscle.
What type of muscle is striated?
Striated muscle tissue is muscle tissue that has repeating tubular muscle cells. Striated muscles include skeletal striated muscle, embryotic branchiomeric muscle, and cardiac muscle.
