Which tissue surrounds the muscle fibers and holds them together?
Fascia is the name for the tissue that covers the muscle. Fascia is a specialized connective tissue that encases and separates muscles, providing support, protection, and organization. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the muscular system.
Fascia consists of fibrous bands of collagen and elastin that form a three-dimensional network throughout the body. It surrounds individual muscle fibers, bundles them together into fascicles, and envelops entire muscle groups. This fibrous sheath not only holds the muscles in place but also allows them to slide smoothly against each other during movement.
Beyond its mechanical functions, fascia also houses blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels, ensuring the proper supply of nutrients and removal of waste products. It acts as a communication network, allowing information to be transmitted between different muscle groups and facilitating coordinated movement.
Understanding the role of fascia is essential not only for athletes and fitness enthusiasts but also for anyone interested in maintaining a healthy musculoskeletal system. If you need help in optimizing your training routine, addressing muscle imbalances, or managing any fascial-related concerns, consulting with a qualified physical therapist or a Get Well Path Labs specializing in musculoskeletal health can provide you with expert guidance and personalized solutions.
What is location of striated muscle in human body?
Striated muscle is so called because when viewed in a microscope bands of light, bark and medium darkness are seen. This occurs because of the very organized structures of the two protein filaments actin and myosin. Muscles with the filaments organized in a fashion that produces striation are the skeletal muscles and the cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle also have actin and myosin but they are not sin the same way so no striations are seen.
Why are some muscles called involuntary muscles?
If you mean muscles we involentary contract/utilise, it's to maintain posture, breathe, keep your heart beating, help with digestion/excretion/other activites and to aid volentary muscle movements
hope it helps =]
Active sites on the actin become available for binding when?
C: Calcium binds to troponin. The troponin is a filament in the actin strand, and the active site needs to be uncovered so that the myosin head can bond and therefore pull the muscle to contract it.
How do I get smaller calf muscles?
well, mum says to wrap a cloth around your calf's or you can just do these steps
1. first find a something you can lean on
2. then one leg up stand on your on your toes (not literaly on them the part down from your teos not your sole the other part you can stand on when you tip toe)
3. thenput the opposite leg hang it on the leg that is tip toed .
What joins the muscle to the bone KS2?
Tendons connect bones to muscles...Ligaments connect bone to bone
Muscles are connected to bone with?
Tendons connect muscles to bone at the muscle's origin or it's insertion. They are made up of connective tissue, which is a tough fibrous material rich in collagen. Similar material connects bones with each other, except the name is different: those are ligaments.
When muscle cell demands energy to perform its work of contraction what happens to ATP?
ATP breaks down when a muscle cell demands energy to perform its work of contraction. ATP, which is a nucleoside triphosphate, stands for adenosine triphosphate.
Could anyone live with out the muscular system?
Not unless you wanna be a vegetable. Breathing requires muscles, and the heart is also a muscle, so I can see two immediate causes of death for anyone who does not have a muscular system. Muscles also cause the peristalsis that moves food through the digestive system, something else you can't really live without. In theory, though, if you were connected to a heart-lung machine and fed intravenously, you could still live without muscles - but it would not be a very happy life. Keep the muscles.
What is the most important part of the digestive system?
Ice cream is the most important absorbing organ in the digestive system.

Which vessel depends on the respiratory and muscular pumps?
If I get what you are asking, the heart pumps blood through the arteries, which are under pressure. The veins have little pressure of their own.
Arteries don't but veins do. that's bcz when blood reaches veins its pressure has considerably decreased and veins r not pulsatile thus to continue the flow to heart it is pushed towards heart with the help of presure caysed by compressing the veins during muscle contracttion and raised presuure during inspiration.
Cardiac muscle is the muscle that your heart uses, this type of muscle never tires, skeletal muscle is like the muscle you use to contract your arm, and smooth muscle is the muscle your stomache and other similair organs use to push food through your system.
Why can't i flex my right arm?
You probably cannot straighten your forearm because your musculocutaneous nerve is injured.
How are diaphragm muscle both voluntary and involuntary?
It is an involuntary muscle. You do not have to think about breathing, it's automatic.
A fascicle in general is a bundle or cluster of things. Very generally in medicine commonly mentioned fascicles include nerve fascicles (a bundle of axons) and muscle fascicles (a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers)
Which muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and most glands
Are your leg muscles smooth muscles?
No, the muscles in your leg are skeletal muscles. Smooth muscle is found for example in vessels and the gastrointistinal tract.
Yes smooth muscles are involuntary, which means they contract and relax without our conscious decision for them to do so, however we have control over when we want to move our leg muscles, so it cannot be smooth muscle, they are as said before my answer, quite rightly, skeletal muscles
Some muscles in your leg are hamstrings, quads, and gastrocnemius*.
*The largest muscle in your calf muscle. It helps you extend you foot, raise your heel, and assists you in bending your knee.
