Muscle Tissue

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I am nafia from Bangladesh. Hope you all are fine. I'm also fine. Today I'm going to talk about muscle tissue.

A muscle is a collection of muscle fibres supported by connective tissue. Each muscle fiber is an elongated cell, which contains contractile proteins, mainly Actin and Myosin.

Types: There are 3types of muscle tissue-

1. Skeletal muscle

2. Cardiac muscle

3. Smooth muscle

Skeletal muscle: Voluntary muscles which are found in limbs, body wall and body of the diaphragm. Found in that organs that can move voluntarily.

Smooth muscle: Involuntary muscle found in viscera, blood vessels etc. Found in that organs that cannot move voluntarily.
