Microscopic structure of a slug's foot and slime Microscopic structure of a slug's foot and slime secretion Scientific Researcher, The Netherlands One characteristic of members of the Kingdom Animalia is their ability for movement. Animals achieve this property of movement by a specialized tissue called muscle. Muscle cells can contract and then go back to their initial state before contracting again. Such repetitive contraction of the muscle cells causes movement. We recognize three types of muscle cells which form specialized tissues: Skeletal muscle, heart muscle and smooth muscle. Skeletal and heart muscle cells are cross-striated, whereas smooth muscle possess no cross striations, contract rather slowly and cause a standing wave motion (of the stomach, intestines and large bowels, for example).
