Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that muscle tissue has specific characteristics that allow it to perform its functions effectively.
Identify the four key characteristics of muscle tissue: excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity.
Excitability refers to the ability of muscle tissue to respond to stimuli, usually from the nervous system.
Contractility is the ability of muscle tissue to shorten and generate force when stimulated.
Extensibility and elasticity refer to the muscle's ability to be stretched and then return to its original shape, respectively.
