Muscles are the “red meat” attached to the bones. It contributes 40% to 45% of body
weight. This specialized tissue enables the body and its part to move. Movement occurs when
muscle cells or muscle fibers shorten or contract thru the conversion of chemical energy obtained
from food into mechanical energy. Muscles contract in the presence of Electrical, Mechanical,
Chemical, and Thermal stimulation.
