What is the main action for bicep?

the bicep like any skeletal muscle are there for motion. they allow the bones to move without these muscles we would not be able to move. the bicep contracts (becomes shorter) and pulls the lower arm up. giving you movement

remember muscles work in pairs so when the bicep contracts the tricep (the opposite muscle) relaxes. they work together to coordinate movement sufficiently

Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles that are under the control of what?

movement of bones--example, when you walk, muscles are pulling your bones so you can take steps.

What is the cause of inversion of foot?

There are several types of exercises that can be done to correct inversion. Orthotics are also used to make walking easier and more comfortable.

Is your heart made up of specialized muscles?

YES. 100% true true true. The word cardiac means heart . So yes it is true and if your heart wasn't voluntary you would be dead because, if it wasn't voluntary you would have to think about pumping it so you go about every day going thump thump in your head and if you don't for a minute to think about something else you would die and how would you sleep...... You wouldn't. :) so the answer to your question is yes your heart is made of voluntary muscles called cardiac muscle.

What Muscles are used to sit down?

Is writing voluntary or involuntary?

Are skeletal muscles connected to cartilage?

yes it includes cartilage, ligaments, bone, and tendons

How oxygenated blood gets to the hearts muscle cell walls?

Oxygenated blood gets to the hearts muscles through three coronary arteries that are outside the heart. They branch from the aorta just above the left ventricle and conduct blood through smaller arteries and capillaries into the walls of the heart. Veins passing through the heart join to form the coronary sinus, a cavity from which venous blood flows into the right atrium.

Is it true that muscle cells can move a bone when they extend or get longer as well when they contract or get shorter?

No, muscles only do work when contracting. Thus muscles come in opposing sets that pull in opposite directions.

The deltoid area is what?

What nerves innervates the smooth muscle of the digestive viscera?

The somatic nervous system consists of peripheral nerve fibers that send sensory information back to the CNS.

What substance is not produced in a muscle cell under anaerobic conditions?

Lactic acid (also called lactate).

The product of glycolysis in the cytoplasm is pyruvic acid (= pyruvate). If there is not enough oxygen for the mitochondria to oxidize the pyruvic acid, the enzyme lactic acid (or lactate) dehydrogenase, which is in the cytoplasm, reduces the pyruvic acid to lactic acid.

What muscle tendon inserts into the distal phalanx of the thumb?

The Flexor Hallucis Longus muscle.

It's role is to flex all the joints in the big toe and helps to produce plantar flexion in the foot.

It's proximal attachment is the lower two-thirds of the posterior surface of the fibula.

Is biceps brachii a superficial or deep muscle?

it is the most superficial of the brachium muscles

When a muscle relaxes it becomes?

Muscle fiber generates tension through the action of actin and myosin cross-bridge cycling. While under tension, the muscle may lengthen, shorten or remain the same. Although the term 'contraction' implies shortening, when referring to the muscular system, it means muscle fibers generating tension with the help of motor neurons

What is the term that describes the muscles ability to maintain a slight contraction keeping the muscle firm?

Synergy is the term for the ability of muscles to be slightly contracted at all times to be ready to act. Most of the muscles are usually in this form.

Are muscles that control your pupil involuntary?

No. They are involuntary and involved in the reflex action in response to light intensity (i.e. high light intensity - pupil constricts, low light intensity - pupil dilates) which is an involuntary response to stimuli (hence why it's considered a reflex action).
