Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells in the body with unique properties compared to other cell types.
Recognize that one of the key differences is their ability to contract and generate force, which is essential for movement and various bodily functions.
Note that muscle cells contain specific proteins, such as actin and myosin, which interact to facilitate contraction.
Acknowledge that muscle cells do have a nucleus and other organelles, contrary to the statement that they lack these structures.
Understand that muscle cells can conduct electrical impulses, which are crucial for initiating and coordinating muscle contractions.
