What else can I help you with?
Are most cardiac muscles controlled directly by the nervous system?
No, most cardiac muscles are not directly controlled by the nervous system. The cardiac muscles have their own intrinsic pacemaker called the sinoatrial (SA) node that generates electrical impulses and coordinates the contraction of the heart. While the nervous system can influence the rate and strength of the heart's contractions, it does not have direct control over the cardiac muscles.
Which type of muscle CANNOT contract without being stimulated by the nervous system?
Cardiac muscle. Unlike skeletal and smooth muscle, the contraction of cardiac muscle is involuntary and requires stimulation from the nervous system. This ensures that the contractions of the heart are synchronized and coordinated.
Is a heartbeat a reflex?
No, a heartbeat is not a reflex. It is a coordinated and involuntary contraction of the heart muscle controlled by the heart's own electrical system, known as the cardiac conduction system. Reflexes are typically involuntary responses to stimuli mediated by the nervous system.
What nervous system is a division of the peripheral nervous system that deals with involuntary movement of smooth and cardiac muscles?
That system is called as autonomic nervous system. It is composed of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
What is somatic nervouse system?
he somatic nervous system (SoNSOr voluntary nervous system) is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. The SoNS consists of efferent nerves responsible for stimulating muscle contraction, including all the non-sensory neurons connected with skeletal muscles and skin.
The portion of the nervous system that is most closely associated with the contraction of the cardiac muscle is the?
autonomic nervous system
What two mechanisms influence the force of cardiac contraction?
End diastolic volume and sympathetic nervous system stimulation
Memory and thinking are most closely associated with which part of the central nervous system?
Memory and thinking are most closely associated with the Frontal Cortex.

What do muscles do list two different functions of muscles?
Some muscles (skeletal muscles) will not contract unless stimulated by neurons; other muscles (smooth & cardiac) will contract without nervous stimulation but their contraction can be influenced by the nervous system. Thus, the nervous and muscle systems are closely interconnected.
What does the cardiac system control?
Nervous system and the cardiac walls. (:
How does the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle compare to that of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle all contract in response to signals from the nervous system or hormones. However, the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle is different from that of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle contracts more slowly and can sustain contractions for longer periods of time compared to skeletal and cardiac muscle. Additionally, smooth muscle does not have striations like skeletal and cardiac muscle, which gives it a more uniform appearance.
What factors influence cardiac output?
A cardiac cycle is the complete sequence to make one complete contraction. Factors that influence the cardiac cycle include the increase and decrease in heart rate, change of posture, parasympathetic nervous system activity and sympathetic nervous system activity.
Which system is most closely associated with the brain?
The central nervous system (CNS) is most closely associated with the brain, as it consists of the brain and spinal cord. This system is responsible for processing and coordinating sensory information, thoughts, emotions, and physical actions.
What is acetylecholine?
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the nervous system that plays a key role in muscle contraction, cognition, and memory. It is synthesized in the brain and peripheral nervous system. Dysfunction in acetylcholine signaling is associated with various neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Is a heartbeat a reflex?
No, a heartbeat is not a reflex. It is a coordinated and involuntary contraction of the heart muscle controlled by the heart's own electrical system, known as the cardiac conduction system. Reflexes are typically involuntary responses to stimuli mediated by the nervous system.
