Study Notes
Muscle Tissue Overview
- Muscle tissue is specialized for contraction, converting chemical energy (ATP) into mechanical energy for movement.
- The main component is the muscle cell (myocyte).
- Muscle tissue is excitable, responding to electrical or chemical stimuli.
- It contracts and relaxes.
- Muscle tissue's function includes the ability to contract and relax.
Nervous Tissue
- Located in the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves).
- Nervous system cells are highly specialized for transmitting electrical impulses throughout the body.
