Muscle cells are responsible for contraction to move an animal. There are three types of muscle cells: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle cells facilitate voluntary movements, cardiac muscle cells are found in the heart and contract involuntarily to pump blood, and smooth muscle cells control involuntary movements in organs and blood vessels. Together, these muscle types enable various movements and functions within an animal's body.

What types of cells contact to move an animal?

Muscle cells move bones which move animals.

What three types of cells must be present for flatworms to be able to respond to stimuli and move about?

Flatworms require muscle cells for movement, nerve cells for detecting stimuli, and epithelial cells for sensory integration and coordination of responses. These three cell types work together to allow flatworms to respond to their environment and move about.


What cells contain flagella?

Flagella are commonly found in certain types of cells, such as sperm cells, some types of bacteria, and certain protists like Euglena. Flagella are long, whip-like structures that help these cells move through liquid environments.


Do all cells perform the same function?

Heck no! The simplest human cells are stem cells from which other types of cells may form. Cells have many diverse functions, blood is one example. There are three general types of cells in blood, red cells (erythrocytes), platelets and white cells (lymphocytes). There are 5 major subclasses of lymphocytes, each with particular functions mostly to do with immunity. Red cells carry oxygen and platelets stick together to plug injured blood vessels. Other major categories include muscle cells (two major types - smooth and striated), nerve cells, and skin cells. Many organs have specific types of cells that are unique to that organ's function, including reproductive systems. Move outside the human body and you will see creatures that are only one cell in size which means they must perform all the basic functions for life. Truly amazing.

Which types of cells in your body require a higher concentration of mitochondria for their functioning?

Cells that require a higher concentration of mitochondria for their functioning are typically muscle cells, as they need a lot of energy to contract and move the body.

Can muscle cells move a bone when they extend as well as when they contract?

Muscles are a bit like rope, they can pull, but they can't push. So in evey important way, they only move bone when they contract.


What types of cells does a scorpion have?

A scorpion has various types of cells like nerve cells, muscle cells, exoskeleton cells, and various gland cells. These cells work together to enable the scorpion to move, hunt, and defend itself.


How can the sun walk around the earth?

Using ATP, the cells in the muscles of the sun's legs use actin and myosin to expand and contract, making the muscles themselves contract and move.

Are capillaries muscles?

No. A capillary is a small tube carrying blood, a muscle is a group of cells that can contract, generally in order to move something.


Do bone cells expand and contract to move the body?

no, the skeleton is a support structure. The muscles expand and contract to create movement in the body.


A long thin whiplike structures with a core of microtubules that enable some cells to move is known as?

The structure is known as a flagellum. Flagella help cells such as sperm cells or certain types of bacteria to move by rotating in a whip-like manner.
