Adaptations of Muscle Cells

Muscle cells have many mitochondria to provide energy for movement.
Muscle cells have muscle fibres which can relax and contract to change the shape of the cell.

About Muscle Cells

All muscles in the body are made of muscle cells.
Muscle cells are specially adapted to allow for movement.
Many muscle cells grouped together make muscle tissue.
