Why do skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment?
Skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment to receive signals from the nervous system and to contract in response to those signals. The physical connection allows for the exchange of nutrients, waste removal, and the delivery of oxygen to the muscle cells. Additionally, the connection allows for the removal of heat generated during muscle contractions.
Which type of muscle CANNOT contract without being stimulated by the nervous system?
Cardiac muscle. Unlike skeletal and smooth muscle, the contraction of cardiac muscle is involuntary and requires stimulation from the nervous system. This ensures that the contractions of the heart are synchronized and coordinated.
What nervous reflex arc is usually a muscle or gland?
The nervous reflex arc that typically involves a muscle or gland is known as the motor reflex arc. In this arc, sensory neurons transmit signals from a stimulus to the spinal cord, where they connect with interneurons or directly with motor neurons. The motor neurons then send signals to muscles to contract or to glands to secrete substances, resulting in an immediate response to the stimulus. This process enables rapid reactions to environmental changes, such as pulling away from a hot surface.
When an animal runs along the ground by flexing some of its muscles what causes its muscles to contract?
Muscle contraction in animals is primarily triggered by the nervous system, which sends electrical signals called action potentials to muscle fibers. These signals stimulate the release of calcium ions within the muscle cells, leading to the interaction of actin and myosin filaments. This interaction causes the muscle fibers to shorten and generate force, allowing the animal to run. Additionally, energy in the form of ATP is required for muscle contraction to occur.
Which allows the body to move by stretching and contracting?
Muscles allow the body to move by stretching and contracting. When a muscle stretches, it lengthens, and when it contracts, it shortens. This movement is controlled by signals from the brain through the nervous system.
What channels open when the nervous system signals a muscle to contract?
sodium ion
When the nervous system signals a muscle to contract the ion channels open?
sodium ion
What tells muscles when to contract?
Muscles contract in response to signals from the nervous system. Motor neurons release neurotransmitters that stimulate muscle fibers to generate a contraction. This process is initiated by electrical impulses called action potentials that travel along the nerves to the muscle cells.
What happens when these muscles contract?
When muscles contract, the brain sends signals through the nervous system to the motor neuron that supplies several muscle fibers. There are different versions of contraction, which includes voluntary and involuntary.
What muscle can contract without the need for the nervous stimulation?
Smooth & cardiac muscle.
Is it true that the nervous system controls how your muscles move your bones?
Yes, that is correct. The nervous system controls muscle movement by sending electrical signals from the brain to the muscles via the spinal cord. These signals trigger the muscles to contract and relax, leading to movement of the bones.
Name a structure that receives signals from autonomic nervous system?
Smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, gland
Which type of muscle can contract without being stimulated by the nervous system?
cardiac muscle tissue
What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?
The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary smooth muscle.
Why do skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment?
Skeletal muscle cells need to be physically connected to the outside environment to receive signals from the nervous system and to contract in response to those signals. The physical connection allows for the exchange of nutrients, waste removal, and the delivery of oxygen to the muscle cells. Additionally, the connection allows for the removal of heat generated during muscle contractions.
How does the nervous system and the circulatory system work with the muscular system?

When does your muscle contract?
Voluntary muscle contraction is controlled by the central nervous system. Voluntary muscle contraction occurs as a result of conscious effort originating in the brain. The brain sends signals, in the form of action potentials, through the nervous system to the motor neuron that innervates several muscle fibers. In the case of some reflexes, the signal to contract can originate in the spinal cord through a feedback loop with the grey matter. Involuntary muscles such as the heart or smooth muscles in the gut and vascular system contract as a result of non-conscious brain activity or stimuli proceeding in the body to the muscle itself.
