Answer is A- dense bodies
( Dense bodies cause smooth muscle contraction as a unit. Dense bodies and intermediate filaments are networked through the sarcoplasm , which causes muscle fiber to contract.)
- Smooth muscle cells can contract as a unit due to the presence of A-dense bodies...
Which of the following characteristics are shared by cardiac muscle cells and smooth muscle cells? a. Cells that branch and produce force along multiple planes when they contract. b. Graded contraction (not all or none). c. No T-tubules. d. Both a and b are characteristics shared by these two types of muscle. e. Both b and c are characteristics shared by these two types of muscle.
Which is controlled by a somatic motor neuron? A) Endocrine gland B) Smooth muscle controlling bronchiole diameter C) Muscle fibers that make up your bicep brachii muscle D) Smooth muscle controlling vessel diater E) Cardiac muscle cells (myocytes)

Question 21 2 pts While watching TV last night, the detectives referred to a victim as a stiff. The medical examiner corrected the detective and stated that the proper description is rigor mortis. How does this process occur in the human body? Tissues harden due to a lack of circulation. Blood coagulates in the body causing stiffness. Without ATP, muscles remain fixed in their last state of contraction. With a lack of nerve signals, the body tenses. 10:54 il LTE...

Adults with a deficiency of growth hormone are at increased risk for: a. cardiovascular...
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) causes the rapid contraction of skeletal muscle and the slower relaxation of cardiac muscle. Which one of the following is the most likely explanation for this difference? A. ACh activates a GPCR pathway in cardiac muscle and an ion channel coupled receptor in skeletal muscle. B. ACh activates an ion channel coupled receptor in cardiac muscle and a GPCR pathway in cardiac muscle. C. ACh is permeable through the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cells but...
2. Arrange the three common unit cells in order from least dense to most dense packing. a. simple cubic < body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic b. simple cubic < face-centered cubic < body-centered cubic c. body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic < simple cubic d. body-centered cubic <simple cubic < face-centered cubic e. face-centered cubic < body-centered cubic < simple cubic 3.
