Is involved in almost all movements within the body
Muscle tissue
What are the three kinds of muscle tissue?
Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle
Involved in body movement, maintenance of posture, communication.
Skeletal muscle
We can……. The stimulation of skeletal muscle contraction.
Voluntarily control
What sends electrical signals?
Motor neurons
Electrical signals
Action potential
Motor neurons and electrical signals or action potential to a muscle through the
Neuromuscular junction
Connection between neurone and muscle
Neuromuscular junction
Motor neurons and action potential to a muscle through the neuromuscular junction, and it results in
Muscle contraction
……. Are stimulated to utilize the energy in ATP to slide past one another producing force.
Specialized proteins
Layers of smooth muscle surround
Digestive organs and blood vessels
Smooth and muscle contraction is …..and results in a construction of the organ or vessel wall
Involuntary
Selective, relaxation and restriction of blood vessels can modify
The flow of blood to different areas of our body based on their needs
We can divert blood to active muscles during exercise, or to the
Digestive system after a meal
Cardiac muscle is found only in the
Heart
Cardiac muscle contraction pump, blood through the…… and the …..circulatory systems
Pulmonary and systemic
Pulmonary
Lungs
Systemic
Body
Cardiac muscle is
Involuntary
Cardiac muscle rate of heart contraction is regulated by
Hormones and nervous system
The contractile proteins in cardiac muscle are similar to the skeletal muscle, but the cells are electrically connected by
Junctions
Allow the muscles to contract together as a unit for effective pumping
Junctions
Contractility, extensibility, excitability, elasticity.
The four major functions of skeletal muscle
The protein myofilaments
Actin and myosin
