three types of muscle Flashcards
3 types of muscle
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
What does the skeletal muscle look like, what does it control, is it voluntary or involuntary movement?
- Striated muscle attached to bones of the skeleton
- Control body movement
- Voluntary control; responds to somatic motor neurons
What does the cardiac muscle look like, what does it control, is it voluntary or involuntary movement?
- Striated muscle found only in the heart
- Moves blood through the circulatory system
- Involuntary control; responds to autonomic innervation, spontaneous contraction, modulated by the endocrine system
What does the smooth muscle look like, what does it control, is it a voluntary or involuntary movement?
- Primary muscle of the internal organs and tubes
- Influence the movement of material into, out of and within the body
- Involuntary control; responds to autonomic innervation, spontaneous contraction, modulated by the endocrine system
-large Muscle fiber
-multinucleate cells that appear striped or striated under the microscope
(Muscle fiber, nuclei, striations)
Skeletal
Fibers are also striates, smaller branched, and uninucleate. Cells are joined in series by junctions called intercalated disks
(Nucleus, muscle fiber, intercalated disk, striations)
Cardiac muscle
Fiber are small and lack striations
(nucleus, muscle fiber)
Smooth
