NEW - MUSCLE TYPES

Question 1

Identify the 3 different muscle types found within the muscular system?

Answer 1

1) Smooth

2) Skeletal

3) Cardiac

Question 2

Identify the structure and function of the Smooth muscle?

Answer 2

Structure - The smooth muscle is non-striated and involuntary muscle tissue found in the walls of hollow organs, blood vessels, and various structures within the body.

Function - The smooth muscle is responsible for involuntary contractions in various organs and tissues.

Question 3

Identify the structure and function of the Skeletal muscle?

Answer 3

Structure - Skeletal muscle is composed of muscle fibers, connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves.

Function - Skeletal muscles are responsible for the voluntary movements of the body, including locomotion, grasping, and manipulating objects.

Question 4

Identify the structure and function of the Cardiac muscle?

Answer 4

Structure - Cardiac muscle is striated, involuntary, and branched, allowing it to contract and relax efficiently. It contains intercalated discs, which enable rapid transmission of electrical signals necessary for synchronous contraction.

Function - The cardiac muscle contracts rhythmically to pump blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to all organs and tissues while removing waste products.
