1
what is the study of muscle called?
myology
2
what are the 3 types of muscles?
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
3
what type of muscle that moves the bones of the skeleton
skeletal muscle
4
what is the formation of the muscle fibers in the skeletal muscle?
striated
5
what type of muscle that works in a voluntary manner?
skeletal muscle
6
what type of muscle that can be consciously controlled by neuron that are part of the somatic division of the nervous system?
skeletal muscle
7
what type of muscle that forms most of the heart wall?
cradiac muscle
8
what is the formation of the muscle fibers in the cardiac muscle?
striated
9
what is the action of the cardiac muscle? voluntary or involuntary?
involuntary
10
what type of muscle that is located in the walls of hollow internal organs?
smooth muscle
11
wha t type of muscle that can be also found in the skin?
smooth muscle
12
does the smooth muscle have striations?
no
13
what is the action of the smooth muscle? voluntary or involuntary?
involuntary
14
yes
does the smooth muscle have autorhymicity?
15
what causes the smooth and cardiac muscles’ involuntary action?
the regulation of neurons and hormones released by the endocrine glands
16
what are the function of the muscular tissue?
produces body movements; stabilizing body positions; storing and moving substances within the body; heat generation;
17
a ring shaped muscles close openings to hold substances
sphincters
18
how does cardiac muscle help in moving substances?
pumps blood throught the body
19
how does the smooth muscle help in moving substances?
moves food, bile, urine, and reproductive cells
20
how does skeletal muscle in moving substances?
pushes blood in veins back to the heart and promotes lymph circulation
21
how does the skeletal muscel produces heat?
by contracting
22
this is the involuntary muscle contraction that boost heat when you’re cold
shivering
23
what are the 4 properties of muscular tissue?
electrical excitability, contractility, extensibility, elasticity
24
what type of property in muscle tissue that respond to a stimuli by producing action potential or electrical signals?
electrical excitability
25
what type of electrical excitability that is generated inside the muscle itself?
autorhythmic signal
26
what type of electrical excitability that is generated outside the muscle such as neurotransmitters hormones, and changes in pH?
chermical signals
27
wha type of property in muscle tissue that shortens forcefully when stimulated and generating tension?
contractility
28
what happens when the tension is greater tha the resistance?
the muscle shortens and movement occurs
29
what happens when the tension is lesser than the resistance?
no movement but tension is still produced
30
what type of property in muscle tissue that stretches and adapts to changes in length without being damaged?
extensibility
31
what type of property in muscle tissue that return to its original shape and length after being stretch or contracted?
elasticity
