Topic: muscle tissue Briefly explain how the structure of the tissue allows for the function of the tissue. Be sure your post is relating specific aspects of its structure to function. This discussion is not asking students to simply describe structure and then describe function. Rather, it is asking students to relate structure to function.
The main function of muscle is Movement.Because of the arrangement of actin and myosin in muscles,their contraction and relaxation causes movement of body structures
The cardiac cells by producing heartbeat helps usto maintain life
Stability: the skeletal muscles are attached from bone to another. Because of this they provide stabilitty to joints
Posture: Humans have ercet posture.Because of the contraction of anti-gravity muscles,they help in maintebnace of posture
Circulation: Muscles when they contract, squeeze the venous blood vessels helping in circulation of blood
Temperature regulation. Cpontraction of muscle produces heat. thus by adjusting the amount of contraction in muscles , they help in temperature regulation
Respiration: the diaphragm,intercostal muscles play an important role in respirationt
The smooth muscles play an important role in digestion of food, excretion
the muscles by covering internal organs provide protection to body
