What neurotransmitter stimulates skeletal muscle contractions?

Acetylcholine


What nutrient is not digested but stimulates intestinal muscle contractions?

The nutrient that is not digested but stimulates intestinal muscle contractions is fiber. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that may be soluble or insoluble.


What stimulates intestinal muscle contractions?

Nicotien or anything chemical which stimulates the Nicotinic receptors.


From oxytocin and prostagladins which increase uterine muscle contraction?

Oxytocin stimulates the uterine muscles to contract and also increases the production of prostaglandins, which increase the contractions further. Manufactured oxytocin is sometimes given to induce labour if it has not started naturally or it can be used to strengthen contractions to aid childbirth.


What type of muscles are in the uterine wall?

Uterine muscle cells help make up the myometrium, which is the inner layer of the uterine wall. These muscle cells aid in inducing uterine contractions. They support stromal and vascular tissue as well.


What muscle actions would be classified as isotonic contractions?

Isotonic contractions involve muscle actions where the muscle length changes as it contracts against a constant load. There are two types: concentric contractions (shortening of the muscle during contraction) and eccentric contractions (lengthening of the muscle during contraction).


Do muscle contractions cause menstrual cramps?

No, not quite.Prostaglandins are produced which cause the uterine contractions to push out menstrual flow, in a healthy woman this should not be painful. It's when the prostagladins are overproduced that menstrual cramps occur as these cause blood vessels to contract so cut off oxygen to the muscle.


What are the differences between isometric, concentric, and eccentric muscle contractions?

Isometric muscle contractions happen when the muscle stays the same length, concentric contractions occur when the muscle shortens, and eccentric contractions occur when the muscle lengthens.


Which muscle can undergo hyperplasia?

Uterine smooth muscle


Why does eccentric produce more force than concentric?

Eccentric muscle contractions involve the lengthening of the muscle under tension, which allows for greater force production compared to concentric contractions where the muscle shortens. This occurs because the muscle fibers can generate more force during the controlled lengthening process in eccentric contractions, leading to greater tension development.


What does the mitochondria do in muscle cell?

Mitochondria in muscle cells produce energy through a process called cellular respiration, generating ATP (adenosine triphosphate) that fuels muscle contractions. This energy production enables muscle cells to sustain prolonged contractions during physical activities.


What process involves muscle contractions that move food through the esophagus molecules?
