    The Muscular System: Chapter 21-3

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the three main types of muscles in the human body: skeletal muscles, which are voluntary and attached to bones by tendons to enable movement; smooth muscles, which are involuntary and regulate internal organs; and cardiac muscle, which is found only in the heart and contracts involuntarily around 70 times per minute. It explains that muscles contract and shorten to provide movement, and that skeletal muscles work in opposing pairs so that when one contracts, its counterpart relaxes, enabling motion.

    Moving the human body


    Muscle-an organ that contracts and gets shorter- this provides the force to move your body parts.

    Muscles of the body

    Muscle Control
    Voluntary muscles- muscles that you are able to control Examples are leg and arm muscles Involuntary Muscles- you can not move them consciously. They just keep working Examples- heart

    Types of Muscles-skeletal
    Skeletal Muscles-muscles that move bones Attached to bones by tendons Most numerous in the body Look striped or striated Voluntary muscles

    Types of Muscles-Smooth Muscles


    Smooth muscles- nonstriated Involuntary Move the internal organs Contract and relax slowly Example- small intestine

    Types of Muscles-Cardiac Muscle


    Cardiac muscle-found only in the heart Involuntary Striations Contracts about 70 times a minute every day of your life.

    How Muscles Work


    Skeletal muscles-when one muscles contracts- another muscle relaxes Muscles always pull- never pushes Muscles use glucose Produce thermal energy when they contract Muscles that are not exercised become smaller
