Muscle tissue — definition?
Body tissue made of contractile cells.
Skeletal muscle — role?
Generates movement and force via ATP conversion.
Skeletal muscle function
Generate force for movement and support.
Muscle tissue composition
Made of cells converting ATP into energy.
Muscle property: Excitability
Detects stimuli and produces response.
Muscle property: Contractility
Generates forceful contractions.
Smooth muscle location
Found in walls of hollow organs.
Cardiac muscle unique feature
Striated, involuntary, heart-specific.
Muscle functional property: Extensibility
Can be stretched beyond resting length.
