technicalmedical
Resembling or composed of muscle tissue in structure or function.
Biologists use myoid to describe cells or fibres that behave like muscle even though they belong to a different tissue type, such as certain contractile cells found in glands or in the retina. The term lets scientists note a muscle-like property without claiming the tissue is true muscle. It is built from myo-, the Greek root for muscle, plus the suffix -oid, meaning resembling.
