Involuntary (controlled by ANS) - 57What are the 3 types of muscle? Which are voluntary and which are involuntary?• Smooth (involuntary, organs)
• Cardiac (involuntary)
• Skeletal or striated (voluntary, movement) - 58what are the muscle's cells called?muscle fibres
- 59Is smooth muscle voluntary? Is it striated? How fast are the contractions and how long do they last? What are the 2 layers?• Involuntary
• No striations
• Contracts slowly, longer lasting
• 2 layers : longitudinal and circular around tubes - 60What does cardiac muscle do? (2)• Circulatory system engine:
• Moves blood through arteries, capillaries and veins. - 61How does cardiac muscle show both characteristics of skeletal and smooth muscle?• Like smooth muscle, cardiac fibres are under involuntary control, and have powerful contractions.
• Like skeletal muscle, it is striated with parallel arranged actin and myosin bundles. - 62What are intercalated disks for? what does this allow?communication of chemicals and stuff, allows for cardiac muscle to act on its own
- 63What is striated muscle used for? Where is it attached and how does it act there?• Use for locomotion, under voluntary control
• Attached to bone, acts in opposition or pivot. - 64Why is it striated?• Arrangement of actin and myosin give it a striated or striped appearance.
