How much weight does muscle account for on an animal?
up to half
Explain muscle composition.
Each muscle is composed of many cells held together by connective tissue. Each muscle fiber receives its own nerve impulses, triggering various motions. That signal or impulse then travels down the nerve to the muscle, then the muscles fibwe changes chemical energy into mechanical energy
What is a rich capillary and what is it responsible for?
It is the smallest of all blood vessels and its responsible for the distribution that helps to deliver oxygen to muscles
What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscle control
