All muscle tissues have four characteristics in common which are absent in neurons:

1. Excitability
2. Contractility
3. Extensibility - they can be stretched.
4. Elasticity - they return to normal length after stretching.

Individual neurons have two major functional properties which are absent in muscle fibres:

1. Irritability - ability to respond to a stimulus and convert it to a nerve impulse.
2. Conductivity - ability to transmit the impulse to other neurons, muscles, or glands
