Difference between Muscle and Muscle tissue

Muscle vs. Muscle tissue

Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals. Muscle tissue is a soft tissue that composes muscles in animal bodies, and gives rise to muscles' ability to contract.

Similarities between Muscle and Muscle tissue

Muscle and Muscle tissue have 45 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Action potential, Animal locomotion, Aponeurosis, Arrector pili muscle, Blood vessel, Bone, Bronchus, Capillary, Cardiac muscle, Cellular respiration, Central nervous system, Cerebral cortex, Esophagus, Fermentation, Gastrointestinal tract, Glycolysis, Heart, Hormone, Intercalated disc, Lactic acid, Mitochondrion, Muscle contraction, Myocyte, Myogenesis, Myoglobin, Myometrium, Neuromuscular junction, Neurotransmitter, Oxygen, ..., Perimysium, Proprioception, Sarcomere, Skeletal muscle, Skeleton, Smooth muscle tissue, Soft tissue, Stomach, Striated muscle tissue, Syncytium, Tendon, Urethra, Urinary bladder, Uterus, Vertebrate.

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Animal locomotion

Animal locomotion, in ethology, is any of a variety of movements or methods that animals use to move from one place to another.

Aponeurosis

An aponeurosis (plural: aponeuroses) is a type or a variant of the deep fascia, in the form of a sheet of pearly-white fibrous tissue that attaches sheet-like muscles needing a wide area of attachment.

Esophagus

The esophagus (American English) or oesophagus (British English), commonly known as the food pipe or gullet (gut), is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach.

Fermentation

Fermentation is a metabolic process that consumes sugar in the absence of oxygen.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Hormone

A hormone (from the Greek participle “ὁρμῶ”, "to set in motion, urge on") is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour.
