ABSTRACT
Muscle tissue, a fundamental component of the human body, plays a multifaceted role in maintaining physiological homeostasis and enabling essential functions. It enables a wide range of activities, from the simplest actions like walking to the execution of fine motor skills. Integral to the respiratory system, it enables the essential exchange of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide through respiration. Specialized form as cardiac muscle, ensuring the circulation of blood throughout the body, thereby guaranteeing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all bodily tissues and organs. It significantly contributes to the digestive process by coordinating peristaltic contractions. Furthermore, it plays a pivotal role in the body’s thermoregulatory mechanisms, generating heat during contractions. During muscle contractions, glucose, glycogen stored in muscles, and fatty acids are utilized, making them integral components of muscle cell metabolism. The interconnected biology and metabolism of muscle tissue are indispensable for sustaining human health and function.
Keywords: Muscle tissue; skeletal muscle; cardiac muscle; smooth muscle; biology and metabolism of muscle tissue
