Characteristics of Muscle • Responsive (excitable) – capable of response to chemical signals, electrical signals, and stretch • Conductive – local electrical change in a cell triggers a wave of excitation that travels along the cell • Contractile – cells shorten when stimulated by converting the chemical energy of ATP into mechanical energy • Extensible – cells are capable of being stretched • Elastic – cells return to original resting length after being stretched • General Characteristics: muscle tissue is composed of connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics and muscle cells. Types of Muscle • Striated Muscle (cytoplasm has cross striations) – Striated Skeletal Muscle (voluntary muscle) – Striated Cardiac Muscle • Smooth Muscle (cytoplasm without cross striations)
