Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Muscles convert chemical free energy into mechanical work. The energy conversion occurs in 2 steps. First, free energy obtained from oxidation of metabolic substrates (GS) is transferred to ATP and, second, free energy from ATP hydrolysis (GATP) is converted into work by myosin cross-bridges.
Detailed explanation-2: -Muscle tissue is composed of cells that have the special ability to shorten or contract in order to produce movement of the body parts. The tissue is highly cellular and is well supplied with blood vessels.
