the muscle is the strentgh in your body. it needs proteins and energy to keep it going most of the time muscle works as a shield for our human bodies it protects us from harmful things surrounding us

Wikipedia Definition:
Muscle (from Latin musculus, diminutive of mus "mouse"[1]) is the contractile tissue of animals and is derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells. Muscle cells contain contractile filaments that move past each other and change the size of the cell. They are classified as skeletal, cardiac, or smooth muscles. Their function is to produce force and cause motion. Muscles can cause either locomotion of the organism itself or movement of internal organs. Cardiac and smooth muscle contraction occurs without conscious thought and is necessary for survival. Examples are the contraction of the heart and peristalsis which pushes food through the digestive system. Voluntary contraction of the skeletal muscles is used to move the body and can be finely controlled. Examples are movements of the eye, or gross movements like the quadriceps muscle of the thigh. There are two broad types of voluntary muscle fibers: slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch fibers contract for long periods of time but with little force while fast twitch fibers contract quickly and powerfully but fatigue very rapidly.
Muscles are predominately powered by the oxidation of fats and carbohydrates, but anaerobic chemical reactions are also used, particularly by fast twitch fibers. These chemical reactions produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules which are used to power the movement of the myosin heads.

What connects muscle to muscle and connective tissue to muscle?
Muscle does not connect to muscle. Fascia is a connective tissue that connects muscle to organs. Tendons connect muscle to bone.
What type of muscle is the tricep muscle?
A skeletal muscle.
How are individual muscle cells different from the muscle tissue in the bicep muscle?
Muscle cells are smaller than muscle tissues.
What type of muscle is associated with type of muscle?
there is a thigh muscle its a skeletal muscle
What binds muscle to bone and muscle to muscle?
Tendons tie muscles to bones and ligaments tie muscle to muscle.
What type of muscle is striated?
Striated muscle tissue is muscle tissue that has repeating tubular muscle cells. Striated muscles include skeletal striated muscle, embryotic branchiomeric muscle, and cardiac muscle.
Whats the difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy?
The difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy is that muscle hypertrophy is the increase in size of skeletal muscle while muscle mass is the weight of your body muscle.
Which type of muscle is the heart made of?
cardiac
Which muscle do you control smooth muscle or skeletal muscle?
You are in direct control of skeletal muscle.
Which muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
