    found in animals: connective‚ muscle‚ nervous‚ and epithelial. We are going to go into muscle tissue. The cells of muscle tissues are called fibers. There are three types of muscle tissue and they are skeletal‚ cardiac‚ and smooth. All types can go though hypertrophy (enlargement or overgrowth of an organ or part of the body due to the increased size of the constituent cells). Muscle fibers contract due to the interaction of the contractile proteins‚ actin and myosin. Muscle contraction generates contractile

Muscle contractions occur when our nervous system sends a signal via the neuromuscular junctions the signal arrives at the end bulb

    A football player kicking a football is an example of a gross muscular skeletal muscle coordinating together to display the live-action potential of the chemistry between the functions of the nervous‚ muscular‚ and the skeletal system. For these actions to take place‚ the skeletal system must first be established and erected along with the cartilage‚ ligaments‚ and tendons attaching bones‚ muscle to bones‚ and articulation for movements.
