In physiology, medicine, and anatomy, muscle tone (residual muscle tension or tonus) is the continuous and passive part contraction of the muscles, or the muscle's resistance to passive stretch during resting state.

In mammals the three types are skeletal or striated muscle smooth or non striated muscle and cardiac muscle, which is sometimes known as semi striated.
