For example, depending on the purpose, muscles are composed of a suitable mixture of tissues, part of which can contract rapidly without a large contraction force while the other part contracts slowly but can generate force continuously. In short, it is a hybrid of “the hare and the tortoise”, giving the advantages of both.
