Explanation of Solution

The muscle tissues contain muscle cells, which have the characteristic to contract according to the requirement.

The three types of muscle tissues are:

Skeletal muscle tissue: These muscle tissues enable the body to move by supporting and pulling up the bones. These tissues are composed of connective tissues, nerves and blood vessels.

Cardiac muscle tissue: These muscle tissues are responsible for pumping of blood. These tissues are present only in the heart, and perform involuntary function of blood pumping.

Smooth muscle tissue: These muscle tissues are responsible for pushing fluids and solids along the digestive tract and other internal organs, and they also regulate diameters of arteries. These tissues perform involuntary functions by regulating internal organs activity.

Conclusion

The three types of muscles, which are present in the human body are: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
