What muscular system is made up of cell that are long thin and pointed?

The muscle system made up of cells that are long, thin, and pointed is the cardiac muscle system. Cardiac muscle cells are unique in structure and function, as they are found in the heart and have a branching, interconnected appearance. These cells contract rhythmically to pump blood throughout the body.


Which muscle type moves food into the stomach?

smooth muscles in the wall of the esophagus.


What tissues can be voluntary or involuntary in its action?

Skeletal muscle tissue is primarily voluntary, as it is under conscious control, allowing for movement of the skeleton. In contrast, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle tissues are involuntary; cardiac muscle, found in the heart, contracts rhythmically without conscious effort, while smooth muscle, located in organs such as the intestines and blood vessels, functions automatically to regulate bodily processes. Some types of muscle can exhibit both voluntary and involuntary characteristics under certain conditions, but generally, skeletal muscle is the only voluntary type.


What are the properties of cardiac cells?

Cardiac cells are specialized muscle cells that contract rhythmically to pump blood. They have the ability to generate and conduct electrical impulses, allowing the heart to beat in a coordinated manner. Cardiac cells are also capable of self-regeneration to a limited extent and are highly dependent on a constant supply of oxygen for energy production.
