The fourth type of basic tissue are the Muscle tissue. It has the ability to contract which allows movement of muscles, blood, organ systems, and especially the whole body. It is consist of three types of muscles:
1. Skeletal muscles- They are multinucleated, long bundles of strand that have prominent striations. It moves voluntarily, quick and forceful causing it to easily tire (fatiguable)
2. Cardiac muscle- Elongated and branched cells that are uninucleated, and it is also striated. Although it has intercalated discs which makes it unique from the skeletal muscles. It moves involuntarily (autorhythmicity), vigorous, and rhythmic. It does not tire easily (non- fatiguable)
3. Smooth muscle- Spindle- shaped (fusiform) cells which forms a sheet that are also uninucleated but does not have striations. Moves involuntarily and slow. The long contractions prevents it to tire easily (non- fatiguable)
