Muscle cells have a distinctive structure, a developed cytoskeleton, which occupies most of the cell's volume and forms, among other things, the contractile apparatus. A mathematical model of the biomechanical behavior of the cell as a whole was suggested based on the equations of continuum mechanics, which was next modified to describe the contractile activity of a muscle cell as an elastic rod. The model considers the result of the transduction of external effects that are manifested as an internal deformation, which allows the evaluation of the mobility and/or the emerging tension in muscle cells under the effects of external factors.
