Muscle Tissue Flashcards
1
Q
skeletal muscle tissue
A
attaches to bones to move body
2
Q
cardiac muscle tissue
A
smaller cells connect to each other via intercalated discs
3
Q
smooth muscle tissue
A
line organs and even smaller
4
Q
what are the sizes of the different muscle tissues
A
skeletal - large (100microm-60cm)
cardiac - smaller (10-20microm-50-100mircom
smooth - smallest (5-10microm-30-200microm)
5
Q
which muscle tissues are striated (striped)
A
skeletal and cardiac
6
Q
control of skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue
A
skeletal - voluntary
cardiac - involuntary
7
Q
how are the different types if muscle tissue conducted
A
skeletal - nerves (motor neurone)
cardiac - pacemaker cells
smooth - hormonal control so contract slowly
8
Q
which muscle tissue can conduct electricity
A
cardiac due to intercalated discs
