Muscle Tissues Flashcards
characterized by long fibrous cells that allow movement of the organism
muscular tissues
muscles may be located ______ or attached to the _____
- internally
- skeleton
a special type of muscle
heart
classification of muscles based on the location
- skeletal muscles
- smoot muscles
- cardiac muscles
muscle that is specifically found in the heart and are striated
cardiac muscle
muscle that lines the internal organs and are unstriated
smooth muscles
muscles that are attached to the bone and are striated
skeletal muscles
classification of muscles (based on action)
- voluntary muscles
- involuntary muscles
muscles wherein movement is conscious
voluntary muscles
muscles wherein movement is unconscious
involuntary muscles
examples of involuntary movement
- digestion
- pumping of the blood by the heart
- peristaltic movement of the esophagus
location of the skeletal muscles
attached to the skeleton
location of the smooth muscles
walls of viscera
location of the cardiac muscles
wall of heart
number of nuclei per cell of the skeletal muscles
many
number of nuclei per cell of the smooth and cardiac muscle
one
muscles wherein the nuclei is central
- smooth muscle
- cardiac muscle
position of nuclei in skeletal muscles
peripheral
muscle that has the most rapid contraction
skeletal muscle
muscle that has the slowest contraction
smooth muscle
speed of contraction of the cardiac muscle
intermediate
muscle that has the greatest ability to remain contracted
smooth muscle
muscle that has the least ability to remain contracted
skeletal muscle
muscle wherein contraction is intermediate
cardiac musce
the type of control in these muscles are involuntary
smooth & cardiac muscle
muscle that is voluntary
skeletal muscles
tissue that is composed of the main cells called the neurons and their supporting cells called the neuroglia
nervous tissue
5 important functions of the nervous tissues
- sensation
- receiving information
- transporting of info to the CNS
- processing of info
- providing the correct response mechanisms
nervous tissues help in maintaining the level of acidity by ________
regulating secretions by peripheral glands and by the stomach itself
