Muscle cells contract, causing movement and our heartbeat.
Smooth muscle cells contract in response to fluid flow.
Muscle cells
Muscle cells
The name of the long cells that can stretch and contract in the body are called muscle fibers. These fibers make up our muscles and are responsible for movement and generating force in the body.
Somatic (body) cells. NOT sex cells.
Muscle cells have more mitochondria because they require more energy to contract than skin cells.
Cells up to 8 cell stage in human embryo can develop in any kind of cell in body. Inner cell mass in blastocyst can develop into any kind of cell in human body.
Sickle Cells?
Sex cells
Muscle cells have unique structures called sarcomeres that allow them to contract and generate force, enabling movement. No other cells in the body have the ability to contract in the same way as muscle cells.
Cells that require a higher concentration of mitochondria for their functioning are typically muscle cells, as they need a lot of energy to contract and move the body.
All of your body cells (SOMATIC CELLS) except for your gametes under go mitosis.
