15 Questions
Explain the functions of the muscular system as outlined in the text above.
The functions of the muscular system include movement of the body, maintenance of posture, production of body heat, communication, constriction of organs and vessels, and contraction of the heart.
What are the general properties of muscle tissue mentioned in the text?
The general properties of muscle tissue include contractility and the ability to stretch and recoil.
Describe the characteristics of skeletal muscle as discussed in the text.
Skeletal muscle is responsible for overall body movement, maintenance of posture, maintenance of muscle tone, and production of body heat.
How is communication related to the muscular system, according to the text?
The muscular system is involved in communication through activities such as speaking, writing, typing, gesturing, and facial expressions.
What role does smooth muscle play in the muscular system?
Smooth muscle is involved in the constriction of internal organs and blood vessels, which helps propel food in the digestive tract and regulate blood flow.
Contraction of the skeletal muscle is responsible for the overall movement of the body, Maintenance of posture, Maintenance of muscle tone, and Production of body heat are all functions of the muscular system. Another function of the muscular system is ____________.
Communication
Contraction of smooth walls within the walls of internal organ and blood vessels causes constriction that propel food in the digestive tract and regulate blood flow. This demonstrates the function of the muscular system in ____________.
Constriction of organ and vessels
The ability of the muscle to shorten and generate force to do work is known as ____________.
Contractility
The muscular system is composed of skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle is characterized by its voluntary control and its attachment to the ____________.
skeleton
The ability of the heart to beat and propel blood to all parts of the body is a function of the muscular system through the contraction of the ____________.
cardiac muscle
______ include movement of the body, maintenance of posture, maintenance of muscle tone, production of body heat, and communication
Functions of the muscular system
The three general properties of muscle tissue are contractility, excitability, and ____________
conductivity
Skeletal muscle anatomy includes muscles, tendons, and ____________
ligaments
Contraction of smooth walls within the walls of internal organs and blood vessels causes constriction that propels food in the digestive tract and regulates blood flow. This is an example of the function of the muscular system known as ____________
constriction of organs and vessels
The ability of the muscle to respond to stimuli is known as ____________
excitability
