Muscle Cells Specialised Contract Function Concentration Quickly Long

Muscle cells are specialized for contraction, facilitating rapid muscle movement. Their elongated shape provides space for contraction, and they are rich in mitochondria to supply the necessary energy.

Muscle cells are specialized for contraction, enabling rapid muscle movement. They are elongated to allow for contraction and contain many mitochondria for energy.

Front What are muscle cells specialised for? What is its function? How are they specialised?
Back
  • Muscle cells are specialised for concentration.
  • The function of a muscle cell is to contract quickly.
  • These cells are long so that they have space to contract and contain lots of mitochondria to transfer the energy needed for contraction
