A muscle cell is a special kind of cell that makes up an organism's muscle tissues. The muscles allow independent movement and regulate biological functions such as digestion and heartbeat. These cells are further specialized into distinct types based on their location and functions. All of them...
What is cardiac muscle? What is the main function of the muscular system? Define muscle origin What is the functional unit of a skeletal muscle called? What is the relationship between the structure and function of the smooth muscle?
How many skeletal muscles do humans have? What is the scapula muscle? What is the largest cell in the body? What muscle elevates the scapula? What is the action of the serratus anterior muscle? What muscles protract the scapula? What muscle moves the scapula?
Like a skeletal muscle, the contraction of a vascular smooth muscle is controlled by the nervous system. Unlike skeletal muscles, which are voluntarily controlled, vascular smooth muscles are innervated by the autonomic nervous system, particularly the sympathetic nervous system. Like acardiac muscle, ...
Skeletal muscle is striated muscle tissue attached to bones. Each skeletal muscle is attached to a bone on one end, and stretches...
Peripheral tissues, and particularly skeletal muscle, have lately demonstrated an active contribution to disease pathology attracting a growing interest for these tissues as therapeutic targets in ALS. In this sense molecular mechanisms essential for cell and tissue homeostasis have been shown to be de-...
What type of muscle is found in the seminal vesicle? Defining Muscles: Muscles are soft type of tissues that exists in all the regions of the body. In fact, there are about six-hundred muscles in the human body. However, all of these muscles are classified under one of the three types...
Mining Skeletal Muscle for Optimal Metabolic Health and Well-Beingin Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes is a global epidemic, with prevalence of >500 million. The current obesogenic environment, favoring high caloric foods and physi...
When sodium, calcium, and potassium ions move into or out of a cardiac cell, it causes the muscle to contract.What we think of as a heartbeat is really a series of contractions in the cardiac muscle. When the heart’s walls contract, they force blood out of the chambers and into the...
