Muscle tissues: An overview

In this simulation, you will explore the different muscle tissues in the human body and learn how muscle cells contract at the molecular level. Remember that you can access the theory pages in your LabPad at any moment while playing the simulation.

Following is a list of all the relevant theory pages to boost your learning:

• Muscle Tissues
• Function of Muscle Tissues
• Skeletal Muscle
• Smooth Muscle
• Cardiac Muscle
• Skeletal Muscle Architecture
• Sarcomeres
• Neuromuscular junction and transmission
• Sliding Filament Theory
