Muscle cells exhibit still another specialized function of the smooth ER. The ER membrane pumps calcium ions from the cytosol into the cisternal space.

Muscle fibers are multinucleated, with the nuclei located just under the plasma membrane. Most of the cell is occupied by striated, thread-like myofibrils. Within each myofibril there are dense Z lines.

muscle contraction: a process in which actin and myosin proteins move within a sarcomere.
mutation: a random change in the gene pool of a population that gives rise to new alleles and is the source of variation in a population.

muscle -- Bundle of contractile cells which allow animals to move. Muscles must act against a skeleton to effect movement.

Muscles and tendons
The movements of the human hand are accomplished by two sets of each of these tissues. They can be subdivided into two groups: the extrinsic and intrinsic muscle groups.

muscle tissue The type of tissue that allows movement. The three kinds are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Tissue made of bundles of long cells called muscle fibers.
muscleL. musculus = a contractile organ.

smooth muscle
A type of muscle lacking the striations of skeletal and cardiac muscle because of the uniform distribution of myosin filaments in the cell.

Striated muscle:
In the striated muscle cells it is well established that in the appropriate ionic environment, and using energy derived from ATP, thick ('myosin') and thin ('actin') filaments can associate to generate contractile force.
