Muscle
Muscle: is a soft tissue found in most animals and humans. Muscle cells contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and shape of the cells. Muscles function create force which in turn creates motion. Muscles are primarily responsible for adjusting posture and movement of internal organs.
