I. FUNCTION AND TYPES OF MUSCLE. Locomotion: One of the most obvious functions of muscle tissue is locomotion. When muscles contract, the fibers pull or relax bones to which they are attached, thus causing locomotion. Muscle contraction is also the primary means of moving lymph in the lymphatic vessel.
Functions of the Muscles. The Human muscular system is made up of a complex network of soft tissues which are called muscles. Muscle tissue is found throughout the human body and it has the following functions; 1  Movement. 2  Skeletal muscles attached to the skeleton move the body by moving bones. Within each skeletal muscle, the muscle fibers are separated into groups. 2  Each group, which resembles a bundle of sticks tied together, is called a fascicle (bundle). 3  Surrounding each fascicle is a layer of fibrous connective tissue called perimysium (around the muscle [fascicle]).
