Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The consequences for muscular system function if muscle fibers were not elastic and they were not extensible should be explained.

Introduction:

Muscular system is made out of muscle tissues which consist of muscle cells. Muscle cells contains contractile proteins which are specifically modified for the movements, stability, control of body openings and passages, heat production and Glycaemic control of the body. In order to carry out the functions of the muscle tissue require some specific properties such as excitability, conductivity, contractility, extensibility and elasticity.
