Muscle tissue types — examples?
Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles.
Muscle tissue types — main categories?
Skeletal, cardiac, smooth muscle.
Sliding filament theory — process?
Actin and myosin filaments slide to shorten sarcomeres.
Myofibril — component of?

Contraction types — main difference?
Isometric: no length change; isotonic: length change.
Sarcomere — role?
Contractile unit within myofibrils.
T-tubules — function?
Transmit electrical impulses to muscle interior.
Muscle connective tissue layers?
Epimysium, perimysium, endomysium.
Skeletal muscle — control?
Voluntary movement.
Cardiac muscle — unique feature?
Intercalated discs for synchronized contraction.
