Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Muscular tissue is a specialized tissue in animals which applies forces to different parts of the body by contraction. It is made up of thin and elongated cells called muscle fibers. It controls the movement of an organism. The cytoplasm in the muscle fibers is called sarcoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Myofibrils are divided into contractile units, or sarcomeres, that are delimited by Z lines, giving the typical striated appearance of the muscle fiber. Within the sarcomeres there are thick myosin and thin actin myofilaments, which are responsible for muscle contraction (Fig. 4-3).

Detailed explanation-3: -Tissue responsible for the movement in our body is muscular tissue. This is comprised of thin cylindrical muscular fibers. These fibers contract to move the part of the body and lengthen or comes to its original shape when the part is relaxed.
