Muscular system

Muscular tissue is specialized in that cells have both contractile and conducting properties. It provides us with our ability to move, regulate organ volumes, maintain posture, communicate, and through the consumption of energy in the form of ATP, produce body heat. The common properties that muscles share enable our muscular system to adapt to the changing needs of the body. These include: electrical excitability, contractility, elasticity, and extensibility.
