Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Muscles are defined as soft tissues that are found in humans and animals. There are three types of muscles found in humans such as skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. It contains filament protein such as actin and myosin that are responsible for the contraction of the muscle. Muscles also help to produce force and motion.
