How are muscle cells different from other cells? Where can I find more information about this?

I need to know how muscle cells are different from other cells in the body. Where can I look for information about that?

Answer

Since you are looking for reference information (a basic overview of the topic), the Dictionaries & Encyclopedias tab of the Health Sciences guide will be useful. It contains links to numerous databases that will be helpful for your topic, including:

Credo Reference
Gale Ebooks
Scientific and Medical Art (SMART) imagebase (for images and video)
Visible Body

When you type in search terms, remember to use nouns or keywords only for your search terms: "muscle cells," myocyte, "muscle fiber," etc.

You may also want to search: "nerve cells" and "blood cells" along with just cells to aid in comparison.

Search tip: Putting quotation marks around a multi-word phrase will keep those words together and will make the database search for those words as a single unit or phrase rather than as two separate words.
