Solution

Muscle cell:

  1. Muscle cells bring about the movement of body parts by contraction and relaxation.
  2. The contraction of muscle cells moves the body part (to which they are attached).
  3. When these contracted muscle cells relax, they expand and increase in length, so that the body part comes back to its original position.
