Three Muscle Types Flashcards
Compare between cardiac and skeletal muscle ( similarity )
Similarities
1- Both tissue have striations
2- sarcomere overlap
3- parallel fiber
Compare between cardiac and skeletal muscle ( difference)
Skeletal muscle :
1 - Voluntary and involuntary reflexe
2 - long fiber, short when they contract
Cardiac muscle :
1- involuntary (pump blood)
2- fiber shorter with gap between them
Cardiac muscle found in
Heart
Location skeletal muscle
Connected to the bone
Importance of muscle
1- body movement
2 - jump blood
3-moving good through digestive system
How many muscle in human body
650
Voluntary movement
Controlled by human
Smooth muscle location
Walls of internal organs
Example
Digestive system / walls of blood vessels / bladder lessphages
Type of movement in smooth muscle
Involuntary
Shape of the smooth muscle
Fibers at angle giving them the ability to contract in different dimension
/ spindle sh aped with short fiber not parallel not linear
