What kind of bond is used to transmit impulses between nerve and muscle cells?

The type of bond used to transmit impulses between nerve and muscle cells is a chemical bond called a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters are released from the nerve cells and bind to receptors on the muscle cells, triggering a response that leads to muscle contraction.


What kind of energy do muscles used to do work?

Muscles primarily use chemical energy stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to produce mechanical work. The chemical energy in ATP is converted into mechanical energy to enable muscle contraction and movement.


Where on the heart is its power station located?

The heart is made up of cardiac muscle, which gets its energy like any other kind of muscle - from ATP generated by various metabolic processes (mainly aerobic respiration). Like other cells, ATP is produced in the mitochondria of heart cells, meaning that every single cell in the heart has a number of power plants inside. Heart muscle is unique in that the cells are joined end-to-end in a branched pattern. Where the cells meet, they have a special porous membrane, allowing the signal for contraction to spread throughout the entire network (instead of having to tell each muscle cell when to contract). To help the process, there are nerve-like muscle cells that extend throughout the heart, causing the contraction to spread throughout the muscle in a controlled, smooth wave. The whole process is regulated by the vagus nerve, which tells the heart when to speed up or slow down.


What kind of force do your muscles exert on an elastic band when you stretch it?

When you stretch an elastic band, your muscles exert a pulling force on the band. The force is generated by the contraction of your muscles, which results in the stretching of the band.


What kind of property can be observed without changing the kind of matter being studied?

Physical properties. For example, how it looks, feels, smells, is it hard or soft, small or big, heavy or not? All the things that are visible to the eye. Hope this helps! :D

What kind of muscle makes your heart?

You call it as cardiac muscles. The muscle fibers contract rhythmically. The muscle fibers are attached to each other end to end. This facilitates the conduction of the impulse. The muscle fiber can be stimulated to give you contraction of the the same.


What is the contraction for kind of?

There is no contraction (no apostrophe is used). The slang short form is kinda.


From which muscle does the heartbeat originate?

The heartbeat is caused by the contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle. The heart muscle is a special kind of muscle known as cardiac muscle, which is unique as it is both striated (strong), can work without tiring, and cannot be controlled (the movement of the muscle is automatic).


What kind or stretching facilitates an increase in muscle length through a maximum isometric contraction of the antagonist?

CA stretching - Contract Antagonist - Relax Method


What kind of stimulus travels from the motor neuron to skeletal muscle?

The stimulus that travels from the motor neuron to skeletal muscle is an electrical signal called an action potential. This action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters, specifically acetylcholine, which then stimulates muscle contraction.


What kind of nerves control skeletal muscle contraction?

The muscle spindle helps to control the contraction of muscles. It is a special sensory organ that uses sensory neuronal fibers to find how long the intrafusal muscle fibers are.


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.
