Muscle cells are formed in such a way that they contract and shorten. By doing this they produce a movement of one type or another. Skeletal muscle cells (called fibers) pull one bone towards another bone, smooth muscles fibers shorten as well but they don't act on bones. They produce waves of movement.

What is the function of the muscle cells in an animal?
Locomotion , movement , contraction etc .
What part of the human body has the function of mitochondria?
the muscle
How does a muscel cell function?
Muscle cells (including cardiac and smooth muscle cells) function by way of contraction. Without muscles, the body would not be able to do anything, and a person could not maintain life.
What would happen if to muscle tissues individual muscles and the muscular system if muscle cells failed to function properly?
If muscle cells do not function properly, the muscle tissues do not function correctly and individual muscles will not operate properly. This will cause the muscular system to break down, which could lead to impaired movement and other defective processes.
Do muscle cells contain more mitocondria than fat cells?
Yes they do, fat cells have very little function and therefore require much less energy than muscle cells.
