All muscles have the same three properties:

  • Excitability, it can receive and respond to a stimulus.
  • Extensibility, it can be stretched and it can contract.
  • Elasticity, it can return to its original shape after it has contracted.

However, the specific adaptations and functions of these muscles differ significantly due to their distinct environments and modes of locomotion.
