Question

Which types of muscle can

be conditioned to improve
their function?
Cardiac and skeletal muscle
Smooth and rough muscle

Answer 1

Cardiac and skeletal muscle (I got it right on Acellus)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both cardiac and skeletal muscles can be conditioned and improved through regular exercise. Conditioning these muscles not only enhances their function but also contributes to better overall health and fitness.

Answer 2

Skeletal muscle – the specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement. Together, skeletal muscles and bones are called the musculoskeletal system (also known as the locomotor system). Generally speaking, skeletal muscle is grouped into opposing pairs such as the biceps and triceps on the front and back of the upper arm. Skeletal muscles are under our conscious control, which is why they are also known as voluntary muscles. Another term is striated muscles, since the tissue looks striped when viewed under a microscope.

1. Smooth muscle – located in various internal structures including the digestive tract, uterus and blood vessels such as arteries. Smooth muscle is arranged in layered sheets that contract in waves along the length of the structure. Another common term is involuntary muscle, since the motion of smooth muscle happens without our conscious awareness.

Cardiac muscle – the muscle specific to the heart. The heart contracts and relaxes without our conscious awareness.
