Compare and Contrast the 3 muscle cells.
The three types of muscle cells are cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Both the Cardiac and the skeleton are stretched, have elongated cells, and are strong. On the other hand, both cardiac and smooth are involuntary, have one nucleus per cell, are self-stimulated, rhythmic, impulse from cell to cell, and do not tire. Both skeletal and smooth cells are elongated. Skeletal has a lot of mitochondria and a fast contraction while Smooth has the fewest mitochondria and the slowest contractions. Also Cardiac is striated while Smooth is non striated.
If I had to lose one sense, I would give up taste. Although it makes meals more enjoyable, senses like sight, hearing, and touch are more important for survival. While missing other senses would have a major impact on my everyday life and safety, I could still eat and nourish my body without having the ability to taste.
