Concept explainers
a.
To identify: The functional roles played by the muscle group while carrying a suitcase.
Concept introduction: The muscle tissue is a well-vascularized soft tissue present in the muscles of an animal body. The muscles are elastic and extensible and usually attached with bones which enable the movement of the various part of the body. Muscles also respond to the stimulation.
b.

Concept introduction: The muscle tissue is a well-vascularized soft tissue present in the muscles of an animal body. The muscles are elastic and extensible usually attached with bones which enable the movement of the various part of the body. Muscles also responds to the stimulation.
c.
To identify: The functional role played by the muscle group while rising from a seated position.
Concept introduction: The muscle tissue is a well-vascularized soft tissue present in the muscles of an animal body. The muscles are elastic and extensible usually attached with bones which enable the movement of the various part of the body. Muscles also responds to the stimulation.
