Muscle tissue consists of muscle cells and muscle fibres (fibrils) and is derived from mesenchyme. There are three types of muscles: skeletal (striated muscle — free), cardiac muscle (striated muscle — involuntary) and smooth muscles (visceral — involuntary). Skeletal muscle is further divided into type I fibres (slow twitch) and type II fibres (fast twitch). The human body possesses more than 600 muscles (40% of body mass). Muscle, function: kinetic, thermogenic, postural.
