- located in stomach, intestines, oesophagus, bladder, blood vessels, resp tract, uterus
- spindle shaped cells in sheets or bundles
- involuntart
What is cardiac muscle?
- only found in heart
- not voluntary
- not much connective tissue binding cells together
What are the 5 functions of the skeletal system?
Support - internal scaffold’ body is built on
Locomotion - attachment for muscles that enable movement
