Which muscle tissue shows no striations?
Smooth muscle Tissue have no striations. (there are 3 types of muscle tissue - Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth) Smooth propels substances along internal passageways involuntarily.
Give an example of smooth muscle?
An example of smooth muscle would be in your blood vessels.
What is the function of the heart and blood vessels?
Because your heart is also composed of living tissue, the blood vessels on the surface of the heart muscle supply oxygen and nutrient rich blood and take away waste and by-products like they would in any other part of your body.
What would the presence of lacunae calcium salts and blood vessels indicate?
Osseous tissue
Where would you find the only living tissue in the human boady with no blood vessels?
Sclera
What is found in the walls of organs or viscera?
In the walls of organs or viscera, you would typically find layers of tissue that provide structural support, regulate blood flow, and facilitate the organ's function. These layers may include smooth muscle, connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.
What organs would you most likely see muscle tissues in?
You would most likely see muscle tissues in organs such as the heart, which contains cardiac muscle, and in the skeletal muscles attached to the bones for movement. Smooth muscle tissue is also found in organs like the digestive tract, blood vessels, and the urinary bladder.
Types of connective tissue include all of the following except blood bone fat or muscle?
Types of connective tissue would include all of these except blood. This is not a type of connective tissue like bone and muscle.
How long would all the blood vessels in a body come to?
It depends on how big your body is. The larger you are the more blood vessels you have to supply the tissue. It is estimated that an extra 200 miles of blood vessels develop for each extra pound of fat.
What will happen to the heart muscles and heart when the blood vessels are blocked?
the muscle tissue that is affected by the unsufficient blood supply will start to swell, lose function and ultimateley die. Since most heart muscle cells are unable to reproduce, the affected cells will reamin dead and transform into scar tissue.
Is the visceral muscle found in the cardiovascular system?
Visceral muscle tissue, or smooth muscle, is tissue associated with the internal organs of the body, especially those in the abdominal cavity. There are three types of muscle in the body: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. As with any muscle, the smooth, involuntary muscles of the visceral muscle tissue (which lines the blood vessels, stomach, digestive tract, and other internal organs) are composed of bundles of specialized cells capable of contraction and relaxation to create movement. If one...[Continued from above] . . . were to slice through a muscle diagonally, he would find that it resembles a telephone cable. Inside is a bundle of smaller cables, and each bundle surrounds still smaller ones. The first and largest bundle is made up of muscle fibers in which there are nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Each fiber is built up from smaller strands called myofibrils, and each myofibril contains interlaced filaments of muscle proteins.
What type of muscle tissue would you find in the heart?
Cardiac muscle tissue and connective tissue would be found in the heart.
