Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

Enumerate the fundamental functions of muscle tissue.
Scrutinize the mechanisms by which muscle contraction and relaxation are entwined with thermoregulation, digestion, circulation, and motor function, emphasizing their critical importance.
Differentiate between distinct muscle contraction types.
Explore the variances in the roles played by various muscle types in governing body control and function.
Evaluate the microstructural differences between smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle tissue and their implications for organ-specific functions.
Explain the fundamental structure and components characteristic of skeletal muscle.
Describe the sliding filament concept and its role in the contraction of skeletal muscles.

How do virtual labs work?
