What is a "muscle"?
A muscle is a body part responsible for generating movement and providing mechanical support to the body. Composed of contractile fibers, muscles enable the execution of various actions, such as walking, lifting, and even the beating of the heart. Through the process of muscle contraction and relaxation, they exert force on bones and other tissues, allowing for coordinated and controlled motion. Muscles are essential for maintaining posture, facilitating bodily functions, and enabling physical activities.
