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 are functions of synaptic junction?

To "connect" two neurons, (or a neuron and a muscle cell), by providing a space between an axon terminal of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron (or a muscle cell), so neurotransmitters that are released by an axon terminal can diffuse across that space to reach the dendrite (or muscle cell) and either initiate the possibility of the second neuron to fire or cause a muscle cell to contract.

How does DNA make a muscle cell different from a liver cell?

Muscle cells and liver cells have the same DNA, but they express different genes. This differential gene expression determines the unique characteristics and functions of each type of cell. Muscle cells express genes related to movement and contraction, while liver cells express genes related to metabolism and detoxification.
