The muscle cell is simplified down to three types of muscles: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.

Those three cells are responsible for working together as a unit in their own organ to contract. Their provide movement to bones as skeletal muscles, provide breathing in the heart as in cardiac muscles, or provide movement for blood cells to move in the arteries, veins, the bladder, uterus, male and female reproductive tracts. The skeletal muscles contract by sending nerve impulses to the sensory-somatic branch of the nervous system, and cause the fibers of the muscle to contract. Cardiac muscle cells enable the heart to contract without ripping the fibers of the muscle apart. Smooth muscle cells are spindle shaped, that can be thick and thin to slide against eachother to create contraction.

Muscle cells are compared to animal cells because they both have the same organelles, except a muscle cell has bigger mitochondria to produce more ATP. A muscle cells length is much greater than its width, because the cells are fibers. Animal cells are usually in the form of what their cell membrane is. Animal cells give the muscle cells energy to help control the movement of the blood.

Because skeletal and cardiac cells are in the form of fibers, it has given them the ability to shorten or contract, which has made the cell adapt to its function. Instead of fibers, in smooth muscles, they slide over one another to contract. Smooth muscle cells arent fibers, theyre spindle shaped cells. They also have many mitochondria to expell more energy, but not all cells have more and bigger mitochondria. There are two types of muscle fibersa; Type I fibers and Type II fibers. Type I fibers have many mitochondria,

and depend mostly on cellular respiration for their ATP. Their fatty acids are their main source for energy, are resistant to fatigue, and are excellent in activties that require endurance. Type II fibers have few mitochondria, are rich in glycogen, fatigue easily, and strong in muscles for fast movement, as in the moving of eyeballs.

In technology, researchers have found out how to make heart cells. They have created cardiac muscle cells from tissue that wasnt meant to form the heart. Some researchers heave a dream to take skin cells, or any kind of cell a person has a lot of and turn it into myocytes. Myocytes are the cells found in muscles.

In medicine, scientists have identified a small, man made molecule that can make a cell move backwards developmentally, from its current form to its original form. Original form cells, or precursor cells, are multipotent, which means they have what it takes to become different cell types. It has to potential to make stem cell reasearch more different. Stem cells have a huge potential in medicine, because they have the ability to transform into many different cell types.

Muscle cells are used in industry by having medicines for muscle pains and other muscle related problems. For example, when we buy muscle relaxants and and objects to help strengthen the muscle fibers or spindle-like cells, that relates muscles to industry. Industries that create certain kinds of medicines for muscles help for their industry. An industry are the people or companies engaged in a particular kind of commercial enterprise.

In current research, this cell could be useful in the production of new discoveries. This discovery can lead to delivering drugs into the body, detect problems within the body, or control processes, such as heart rythms and muscle contractions. This could happen by using magnetism and nanotechnology to control the biological control system to treat diseases. The invention enabled researchers to control living things without chemicals or hormones.

It was demonstrated through the ammune system that stimulated the flow of calcium into the cells. The bead-like stimulators were bound to cell receptors. Then they were exposed to a magnetic field. There was no effect magnetic field was used without the beads.
