The three types of muscle tissue found in the human body are ______, ______, and ______. Which type is attached to the bones, enabling it to control body movement?
Introduction: The main objective of muscles is to support the locomotion or movement of an organism. The muscle tissues form the muscular system of the body which is responsible for the various activities that are performed by an organism.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Correct answer: The three types of muscle tissue found in the human body are smooth, cardiac, and skeletal.
Explanation of Solution
The basic structural unit that constitutes the whole network of muscle is known as a sarcomere. The three types of muscle tissues, which are found in the human body, are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. The basic structure of these muscles is given below:
- Smooth muscles:
These muscles are involuntary in nature and form the supporting tissues of internal organs, intestine, stomach, and blood vessels.
- Cardiac muscles:
The cardiac muscles are the specific muscles of the heart. These muscles supply blood to the heart.
- Skeletal muscles:
Skeletal muscles are striated voluntary muscles which are under the control of “somatic nervous system (SNS).” These muscles are present in a direct contact with the skeleton.
The three types of muscle tissues which are found in the human body are smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle.
To determine: The type of muscle which is attached to the bones and enables to control the body movement.
Introduction: The movement of muscles takes place by the process of muscle contraction. In this process, the protein filaments of muscles which are myosin and actin slide over each other to perform the process of movement.
Explanation of Solution
The movement of the body is controlled by the skeletal muscles of the body. These muscles are attached to the bones and support the voluntary movements of the body. The skeletal muscles are controlled by the somatic nervous system (SNS) of the body.
Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones for the movement of the body.
