<h2>Skeletal & Cardiac Muscle</h2>

Explanation:

  • A skeletal muscle is a contractile organ that is directly or indirectly attached to bone. Skeletal muscles move the body. Skeletal muscle contractions pull on tendons, which are attached to bones. If contraction of the muscle causes the muscle to shorten, the bone and, thus, the body part will move. For example, the biceps brachii is attached to the shoulder and the forearm bones
  • Contraction and, thus, shortening, of the biceps brachii pulls on the tendons attached to the bones. Skeletal muscle contraction, however, doesn't always result in the movement of a body part
  • Contraction of smooth muscles controlled by autonomic nervous system and contraction can be initiated by electrical or chemical signals. Actin is plentiful, lacks troponin
  • Skeletal muscle is controlled by somatic motor division and always begins with an action potential

A person had bread and butter for his breakfast. Trace the changes in the main components of these during its passage through th
Papessa [141]

When the bread and butter is in mouth, mechanical digestion starts. The size of the food gets reduced and it mixes with saliva for easy swallowing. The salivary amylase in saliva begins the digestion of starch in the bread. This is the start of chemical digestion. When the undigested bread and butter reached the stomach, lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and allow the chewed food to enter. The gastric secretions containing HCl, acts on the undigested food to produce chime. HCl kill the microorganism on the food and also denatures the protein and later attacked by digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin breakdown protein in the bread, butter . Later on gastric lipase begins to digest fat present in butter. Digestion of the starch in bread does not occur in the stomach because the salivary amylase that began chemical digestion in mouth became inactive in the presence of HCl. Further the chime enters the small intestine where bile secreted by the gall bladder emulsifies the fat and break into small globule which helps in fat absorption.
