1. The muscle mass or muscle tissue is made up of large number of single muscle cell.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

2. The muscle cells are commonly called Muscle fibers because these cells are long and slender in appearance.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

3. Each muscle fiber is cylindrical in shape with average length of 3 cm- 4 cm varies upon the length of muscle.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

4. The tendon of some muscle is flat and thin but tough. Each muscle fiber is enclosed by a cell membrane called sarcollema. The cytoplasm of muscle is called sarcoplasm. Nuclei, myofibril, golgi apparatus, mitochondria and ribosomes etc are embeded in sarcoplasm<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Muscles in the body perform different functions, having different shape and different mode of actions. Therefore muscles are classified under 3 types<\/p>\r\n\r\n
