What is the function of the

Where in your cell is muscle cell in the human body? Exploration of

each organelle located? How does your specific cell Muscle Cells
type contribute to maintaining
homeostasis in the entire
organism?

❖ The function of muscle cells in

the human body is to create a
pulling force to stabilize or
move parts of the body. The
muscle cells use three functions
to maintain homeostasis. It uses
movement, support, and heat
production. The movement
produced by muscles allows a
person to carry out the last
step in negative feedback
systems:Support maintains proper
positional conditions of parts
of the body so that they
function well. Heat production
is essential for maintaining a
proper and fairly stable body
temperature because most people
live in environments that are
cooler than normal body
temperature.
 Why is it important for
all cells to specialize?
What makes your cell
different from other
cells?
❖ It is important for all
cells to specialize because
it makes it possible for
them to express fewer genes
in individual cells of
multicellular organisms
which protects the genes
from damage
❖ The biggest difference
between muscle cells
compared to other cells is
their multinucleated
nature. Depending on the
size of the muscular cell,
an individual fiber can
contain hundreds of nuclei.
What is the specialized
function of each organelle for
your cell type?
❖ Skeletal muscle cells have a
much larger amount of nuclei
compared to other cells. The
skeletal muscle cell also
contains sarcoplasmic reticulum,
which stores calcium and it is a
specialized type of smooth
endoplasmic reticulum.
How does the muscle cell use
one type of active transport?
❖ The active transport or ATP is
needed to pump calcium ions back
into the sarcoplasmic reticulum
after a muscular contraction is
completed against its
concentration gradient.
What are the parts and
functions of the cell
membrane?
● Skeletal muscle cells or
fibers are highly elongated
cells with a very elastic
and resistant plasma
membrane, called the
sarcolemma. The sarcolemma
transmits force and is
subjected to substantial
stress during contractions.
How does the muscle cell
use one type of passive
transport?
❖ We tried to look for
passive transport, but
sadly after trying to
discover this subject we
unfortunately did not find
any information. There's a
possibility that there
might be a natural
diffusion happening.
