2026
muscle tissues - Answers specialized for contraction, which brings about movement
skeletal muscle - Answers a muscle that is connected at either or both ends to a bone and so move
parts of the skeleton
striations - Answers stretch marks; stripes
intercalated disks - Answers contain specialized gap junctions that allow ions to pass freely from cell
to cell and coordinate muscle contractions
