The heart as both involuntary and striated muscles. The striations are similar skeletal muscles. Heart muscles are involuntary like the muscles seen in the digestive tract, called smooth muscle.

What is the medical term meaning Muscles located within an organ?

The medical term for muscles located within an organ is "smooth muscles" or "involuntary muscles." These muscles are responsible for the involuntary movements of internal organs, such as those in the digestive system, blood vessels, and uterus.


What is the involunrary in the human body?

Involuntary muscles are either nonstriated or striated. They are found in the walls of hollow organs, in your eyes and around your hair follicles. Cardiac or heart muscle cells appear striated under a microscope because of the large number of contractile proteins in the cells. Smooth muscles are involuntary because they contract through stimulation from your nervous system, without you actively controlling their movement. Hope it answers your question :-)


What is the role of the non striated muscle in the stomach?

The non-striated muscle in the stomach, known as smooth muscle, plays a crucial role in the process of digestion. It helps to propel food along the digestive tract through a coordinated contraction and relaxation mechanism called peristalsis. This movement allows for the mixing and breakdown of food, as well as the controlled release of food into the intestines for further digestion and absorption.


What class of muscles move food along the digestive tract and keep the heart beating?

Involuntary muscles perform the work of internal organs. In the case of the digestive tract, peristaltic muscles are smooth muscle that surrounds the intestines; the heart uses cardiac muscle, a special kind of striated muscle.


What parts of the brain control your voluntary and involuntary muscles?
