muscles and movement

Muscles And Movement The three types of muscle in mammals are: 1. Cardiac- (this you learnt about earlier when we did transport in animals) 2. Smooth- also known as involuntary muscle as the individual has no control over it. 3. Striated- these muscles are attached to the bone and are also called voluntary muscles as they are often controlled consciously. As you can see below, there are striations (stripes) in this muscle

Muscles And MovementThe three types of muscle in mammals are:1. Cardiac- (this you learnt about earlier when we did transport in animals)2. Smooth- also known as involuntary muscle as the individual has no control over it.3. Striated- these muscles are attached to the bone and are also called voluntary muscles asthey are often controlled consciously. s you can see below! there are striations (stripes) in this muscleThe dia"rams above show how the cardiac muscle! smooth muscle and striated muscle looks(respectively).Note: You dont need to be able to draw these diagrams.How muscles cause movement#uscles contract ("et shorter) by usin" ener"y from respiration. $hen they do this! they allow movement to occur. %ince muscles vary! the way they contract will also vary. &ardiac muscles are the only muscles in the body that will never tire. They do not need to be controlled by the brain but the brain may alter its rate of contraction.'n the walls of the alimentary canal! the smooth muscle operates similarly to the cardiac muscle durin" peristalsis. 'n other places! however! the smooth muscle needs to be stimulated by nerves.The followin" dia"ram shows the rela(ation and contraction of muscles
