Final answer:

Muscle tissue has the qualities of elasticity, extensibility, and contractility.

Step-by-step explanation:

A muscle can return to its original length when relaxed due to a quality of muscle tissue called elasticity. It can recoil back to its original length due to elastic fibers. Muscle tissue also has the quality of extensibility; it can stretch or extend. Contractility allows muscle tissue to pull on its attachment points and shorten with force.
