What are the different types of muscle tissue? Give examples.
Question:
What are the different types of muscle tissue? Give examples.
Muscular System
There are almost 650 muscles in the human body. Each one of them has a specific function that contributes to either voluntary or involuntary processes of the body and range from helping us walk to the beating of our heart.
