Characteristics and comparison of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles Flashcards
Skeletal muscles connective tissue components
Epimysium, perimysium og endomysium
Regulation of contractions for skeletal muscles
Voluntary; via nervous system controls
Speed of contration for skeletal muscles.
Is there rhythmic contractions with skeletal muscles?
Slow to fast
no
Cardiac muscles connective tissue components
Endomysium attached to the fibrous skeleton of the heart
Cardiac muscles regulation of contraction
Involuntary; the heart has a pacemaker; also nervous system controls; hormones
Speed of contraction for cardiac muscles.
Does it have rhythmic contraction?
Slow
Yes
Connective tissue components for smooth muscles
Endomysium
Regulation of contraction for smooth muscles
Involuntary; nervous system controls; hormones; chemicals; stretch
Speed of contraction for smooth muscles.
Does it have rhythmic contraction?
Very slow
Yes, in some
