Muscles Flashcards
What is are the 3 main Muscles ?
Skeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac
what is skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is a voluntary muscle and is a striated muscle.
What is a cardiac muscle?
A cardiac muscle is an involuntary muscle and is a striated muscle and is only found in the heart.
What is a smooth muscle?
A smooth muscle is an involuntary muscle, a Nonstriated muscle. the smooth muscle is in the digestive system and many other organs.
What causes movement for the body?
The brain nerves and skeletal muscle work together to all movements of the body. called the neuromuscular system.
what does specialized tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement?
The specialized tissue is attached to bones and allows movement. Together, skeletal muscles and bones are called the musculoskeletal systems (also known as the locomotor system). Generally speaking. Skeletal muscles are grouped into opposing pairs such as the biceps and triceps on the front and back of the upper arm. Skeletal muscles are under our conscious control which is why they are also known as voluntary muscles. Another term is striated muscles since the tissue looks like stripes when viewed under the microscope.
where are skeletal muscles located?
Skeletal muscles are grouped into opposing pairs such as the biceps and triceps on the front and back of the upper arm.
why are Skeletal muscles known as voluntary muscles?
Skeletal muscles are under our conscious( awake) control which is why they are also known as voluntary muscles.
why are there known as striated muscles?
Another term is striated muscles since the tissue looks like stripes when viewed under the microscope.
what is smooth muscle?
Located in various internal structures including the digestive tract, ureters, and blood vessels such as arteries. Smooths muscle is arranged in layered sheets that contract in waves along the length of the structure.
Another common term is inventory muscle since the motion of smooth muscles happens without our conscious muscle since the motion of smooth muscles happens with our conscious awareness.
where is the smooth muscle located?
smooth muscle is located in the digestive tract, bladder, uterus. blood vessels.
what does the tissue of smooth muscle look like?
Smooths muscle is arranged in layered sheets that contract in waves along the length of the structure.
Smooth muscle tissue, unlike striated muscle, contracts slowly and automatically.
how does muscle function of this muscle?
In your stomach and digestive system, they contract (tighten up) and relax to allow food to make its journey through the body.
Is smooth muscle voluntary or involuntary?
Another common term is an involuntary muscle since the motion of smooth muscles happens without our conscious muscle since the motion of smooth muscles happens with our conscious awareness.
Where is cardiac Muscles located ?
Cardiac muscle it is only located in the Heart.
