Skeletal muscle tissue contracts most quickly upon stimulation. This type of muscle is under voluntary control and is responsible for movements of the skeleton. Skeletal muscle fibers are structured for rapid contraction, allowing for swift and forceful movements. In contrast, cardiac and smooth muscle tissues contract more slowly.

In the heart what job dos the muscle tissue have?

The heart is made up of muscle tissue (cardiac muscle). The muscle tissue contracts to pump blood.


What types of muscle tissue can depolarize spontaneously in the absence of any external stimulation?

cardiac muscle and smooth muscle?


What kind of tissue contracts?

Muscle tissue is responsible for contraction in the body. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and helps with movement, cardiac muscle is found in the heart and helps pump blood, and smooth muscle is found in organs and blood vessels to help with various functions.


What tissue's major function is to contract?

The muscle tissue's main function is to contract.


When the muscle contracts what happens to the tendon and bone?

When the muscle contracts, the tendon pulls on the bone to create movement. The tendon is the connective tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone, so when the muscle contracts, it exerts force on the tendon, which in turn moves the bone.


Explain the difference between the two types of skeletal muscle tissue?

Skeletal muscle tissue differs from cardiac tissue in that skeletal muscles are striated muscles that require conscious stimulation to act, and cardiac muscles are smooth and basically run "automatically".


What characteristic does not describe cardiac muscle tissue?

Cardiac muscle tissue is specifically muscle tissue of the heart. It is smooth just like skeletal muscle tissue but has special characteristics that help it to contract at fast, steady rates.


What does the muscle tissue do to make the heart pump?

The muscle tissue on one side contracts while the other relaxes, controlled by electrical impulses to the heart muscle.


Why does stimulation of nerves with electrical current help stave off muscle atrophy for a short period of time?

Stimulation with a mild elecric current can keep the muscle tissue viable until full muscular activity can return.
