what are three types of muscle tissues
The fibers contract to produce tension on the associated tissues or tendons. Muscle tissue is enclosed in facia, which in turn is attached to other structures including ligament. There are three types of muscle tissues : skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles. Muscle tissue provides a) posture and body support b) locomotion and c) heat production. Muscle tissue is examined with respect to function and types of muscle, structure and mechanism of contraction and attachments.
