Muscle tissue is made up of cells that has the ability to shorten or contract in order to move bodily components. Skeletal muscle tissue, smooth muscle tissue, and cardiac muscle tissue are three types of muscle tissue.
– Skeletal muscle are cylindrical, multinucleated, and straited.
– Smooth muscle are spindle-shaped, lack striations, and have single, central nucleus. Also, it is called involuntary muscle.
– Cardiac muscle has striations, intercalated disks, branching fibers and one nucleus per cell.
