Compare the control of the contraction of skeletal muscles to the cardiac muscles?

Compare the control of the contraction of skeletal muscles to the control of increased contractions of cardiac muscle (increased heart rate). Be sure to be as specific as you can, including the description of the pathway and neurotransmitters involved.Compare the control of the contraction of skeletal muscles to the cardiac muscles?
I have to say I agree 100% it's YOUR homework not ours. Surely you can manage to Google it!





Cutting and pasting some other amateurs cut and pasted answer is hardly going to assist your education.Compare the control of the contraction of skeletal muscles to the cardiac muscles?
Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle fibersmuscle tissue containing muscle fibers and axon nerve endings containing muscle fibers, existing under control of the muscle fibers somatic nervous system. It is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac and smooth muscle. As its name suggests, skeletal muscle is linked to bone by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons.


Skeletal muscle is made up of individual components known as muscle fibers. These fibers are long, cylindrical, multinucleated cells composed of actin and myosin myofibrils repeated as a sarcomere, the basic functional unit of the cell and responsible for skeletal muscle's striated appearance and forming the basic machinery necessary for muscle contraction. The term muscle refers to multiple bundles of muscle fibers held together by connective tissue.





Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found in the walls of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle cells are known as cardiac myocytes (or cardiomyocytes). Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle are sometimes seen as intermediate between these two other types in terms of appearance, structure, metabolism, excitation-coupling and mechanism of contraction. Cardiac muscle shares similarities with skeletal muscle with regard to its striated appearance and contraction, with both differing significantly from smooth muscle cells.


Coordinated contraction of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood from the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function.
I don't do homework.
