Muscle tissues are made up of cells that can contract when stimulated so that they can generate a force, which produces movement. There are three types of muscle tissue, namely the (1) cardiac muscle tissue, (2) skeletal muscle tissue, and the (3) smooth muscle tissue.
Cardiac muscle tissue is short, often branching, and has striations. They have one or two nuclei and are connected by intercalated discs.
Skeletal muscle tissue is made up of long cylindrical cells called skeletal muscle fibers that multinucleated, striated, parallel to one another and are unbranched.
Smooth muscle tissue is not striated and has cells that are short and tapered at the ends.
