Voluntary muscles tissue is also known as?
Skeletal muscle tissue.
The heart muscle is composed of a specialized type of muscle tissue called?
the cardiac muscle also known as myocardium is a muscular tissue of the heart
What type of tissue is the major function of the cells of this tissue type is to shorten?
Muscle tissue is the type of tissue whose major function is to shorten. Muscle cells, also known as muscle fibers, have special proteins that allow them to contract and generate force, leading to movement in the body.
What is a tendon also known as?
A tendon is also known as a sinew. It is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone and helps in the transmission of forces generated by muscle contraction to move the bones.
What is the tissue that makes up organs that are able to contract or shorten?
The tissue that makes up organs that are able to contract or shorten is known as muscle tissue. Muscle tissue is composed of muscle cells that contain protein filaments that slide past each other, causing the muscle to contract and generate force. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.
Type of connective tissue that binds skin to underlying muscle?
The connective tissue that binds skin to underlying muscle is called the subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis. It is primarily composed of adipose (fat) tissue and serves to provide insulation and cushioning, as well as to connect the skin to the underlying muscle tissue.
How do muscle cells form tissues?
A myocyte, which is also known as a muscle cell, is a long, tubular shaped cell that develops from myoblasts to form the muscle. This process known as myogenesis. Groups of muscle cells form muscle tissue.
Is cardiac muscle smooth or straited?
The tissue which makes up cardiac muscle has striations present. The heart, which is made up of special cardiac muscle is composed of lots of branching cells that join into a continuous mass by intercalated discs. Cardiac muscle is also known as striated involuntary muscle. This cardiac muscle tissue forms the bulk of the heart walls of each chamber. The striations in cardiac muscle are irregular, but they are present. Striated muscle is also found in skeltal muscle tissue, skeletal muscle tissue unlike cardiac muscle tissue has a regular striated structure which you can easily see through histolgy.
Is steak tissue or muscle or what is it?
The lean portion of steak is muscle, but there is also fat and connective tissue. They are all types of "tissue", which is a more generic term.
What is the definition of myoma?
A myoma is a noncancerous growth of muscle tissue that can develop in the uterus. It is also known as a uterine fibroid. Symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure.
What type of tissue is the uterus made of?
The uterus is primarily made up of smooth muscle tissue known as the myometrium. It also contains some connective tissue and specialized glandular epithelium that lines the inner cavity.
What type of tissue is fat?
Fat is adipose tissue which is a connective tissue.
