2 OBJECTIVES Master the microstructure and function of three kinds of muscle tissues. Master the ultra-structure and different points between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. Know the ultra-structure of the smooth muscle. Understand the molecular structure and contraction mechanism of skeletal muscle. muscle tissue
