Muscle Tissue

The tissue that contracts and relaxes to produce body movement

Real World Example

Imagine trying to open a stubborn jar lid that just won't budge. Just like how your hand grips and twists to finally get that lid moving, muscle tissue contracts and relaxes to create movement in the body. In this analogy, your hand represents the muscle tissue, the twisting action is like the contracting and relaxing of muscles, and the jar lid is akin to the bones or limbs that are moved as a result.
