Muscle cells, specifically skeletal muscle fibers, contract to move the body. These cells work in coordination with the nervous system, responding to signals from motor neurons. When stimulated, they shorten and generate force, allowing for voluntary movements such as walking, running, and lifting. Additionally, smooth and cardiac muscle cells play roles in involuntary movements, such as the contraction of the heart and the digestive tract.

What cell tissue helps animal move?
Muscle tissue is responsible for helping animals move. It contracts and relaxes to generate force and movement in response to nerve signals. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle, each serving different functions in the body.
What phase of the cell cycle is the somatic cell?
A somatic cell is any cell in the body or a plant and can therefore do anything, depending on where it is located. e.g. a muscle cell in an arm muscle contracts, an eye cell detects light etc. The only cells which are not somatic are the sex cells such as sperm, eggs (animals), pollen and ovum (plants).
What is the cilia function in a animal cell?
Cilia and flagella help the cell to 'swim' in the body and move around. They're like tails or tentacles.
What are the cytoskeleton fibers used to move whole cells around?
Microfilaments
What moves upwards and downwards when the diaphragm contracts and flattens?
The lungs move downwards when the diaphragm contracts and flattens, allowing air to be drawn into the lungs.
How does a flexor muscle move the body?
It contracts to move bones together.
What type of cells contracts to move an animal cell?
muscle cells...
What do motor cell nerves do?
cause the body to move.
What do motor nerve cell's do?
cause the body to move.
What does a muscle cell do in a human?
the function of a muscle cell is, by definition, to move. this an be accomplished when the cell contracts. contracting makes it denser, which is why when you feel a relaxed muscle in your arm suddenly tense up, it hardens.
How fast can a red blood cell move?
A red blood cell takes about 20 seconds to move around your whole body
How do muscles work in pairs to move the body?
When one muscle of a pair contracts, the other muscle of the pair relaxes to allow movement of the body part.
How do muscles work pairs to move the body?
When one muscle of a pair contracts, the other muscle of the pair relaxes to allow movement of the body part.
Move messages away from neuron cell body?
Axon.
How do substances move from the blood to the body cell?
transportation system
How muscles work with bones to make joints move?
when you choose to move a pair of muscles work together, 1 contracts and 1 relaxes therefore making the body part move
What is an example of and internal force?
An example of an internal force is the tension created within a muscle when it contracts to move a body part.
