nonmuscular
Lacking muscle tissue
Nonmuscular describes tissue, movement, or processes not involving or derived from muscle.
In anatomy, it distinguishes structures like connective tissue or nerve fibers from muscular ones: nonmuscular components of the heart wall.
The term appears in medical and biological contexts where the distinction matters for diagnosis or classification.
