Muscle cells contract, causing movement and our heartbeat.
The cells that contract to cause movement in the eye are the extraocular muscles. These muscles, which include six distinct groups (superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior oblique, and inferior oblique), are responsible for controlling the eye's orientation and movement. When these muscles contract, they enable the eye to move in various directions, allowing for coordinated vision and tracking of objects.
Muscle cells are specialized for movement of the body. They have extra mitochondria so that they can utilize the energy necessary to contract muscles. A whole chain of muscle cells contracting will cause the muscle to "flex."
Tissue made of cells that contract and relax to produce movement is called muscle tissue.
Muscle cells, or myocytes, are the primary cells that contract to facilitate movement in animals. There are three main types of muscle cells: skeletal muscle cells, which enable voluntary movement; cardiac muscle cells, which control heart contractions; and smooth muscle cells, which manage involuntary movements in organs. These cells work together to produce coordinated contractions that enable locomotion, circulation, and various bodily functions.

Muscle cells
Striped muscular cells with sacromeres and motor neurons.
Muscle cells have unique structures called sarcomeres that allow them to contract and generate force, enabling movement. No other cells in the body have the ability to contract in the same way as muscle cells.
Animals have different forms of specialization that allow them to have muscle cells and other cells that aid movement.
