Study Notes
Muscle Types and Functions
- Skeletal muscle attaches to bones, facilitating movement of the skeleton.
- Cardiac muscle is specific to the heart, enabling its contraction and function.
- Smooth muscle consists of long, spindle-shaped cells that are arranged in bundles or sheets, found in various internal organs.
Muscle Control and Characteristics
- Skeletal muscle is voluntary, meaning it can be consciously controlled, and appears striated under a microscope.
- Cardiac muscle works involuntarily and has unique characteristics that differ from skeletal and smooth muscles.
Nervous System and Muscle Interaction
- Smooth muscles receive innervation from autonomic nerves, which are part of the peripheral nervous system and control involuntary functions.
Joint Types
- A synovial joint allows for varying degrees of movement between two or more bones, providing flexibility.
- Fibrous joints are connected by fibrous tissues, limiting significant movement between the articulating bones.
Locations of Muscle Types
- Cardiac muscle is located solely in the heart, crucial for circulatory system function.
