Solution
Muscle fibre:
A muscle fibre is a striated cell of the cardiac and muscle tissue that is capable of contraction so as to bring about force and motion by changing the size and shape of the cell.
There are three types of muscle fibres: type I, type IIa and type IIb.
Nerve fibre:
A nerve fibre refers to the elongated axon of a nerve cell that functions to transmit electrical impulses away from the nerve body.
