    The document discusses the human musculoskeletal system, including muscles, bones, and their functions. It explains that muscles contract and relax to allow movement and there are over 650 muscles in the human body, making up nearly half of our body weight. Voluntary muscles like those in the hands and legs can be consciously controlled, while involuntary muscles automatically regulate processes like breathing and blinking. Regular exercise can make muscles bigger and stronger over time.

    Muscles

    What are muscles?
    Muscles are moved whenever you move.
    Without them, we wouldnt be able to
    move.
    How many muscles do you think there
    are your body?
    Over 650!
    They make up nearly half of
    your body weight.
    Video
    How do muscles work?
    Muscles tighten
    up- CONTRACT
    and then RELAX
    You have two
    sets of muscles
    attached to many
    of your bones
    which allow them
    to move
    They work in
    pairs
    Voluntary muscles
    Some muscles are known as "voluntary" --
    that is, they only work when you
    specifically tell them to.
    Can you think of some voluntary
    movements?
    Clap you hands, lift your leg, arm

    Involuntary muscles
    Other contracting muscles are
    automatic.
    Can you think of any examples?
    Contracting of your heart
    the movement of your diaphragm so
    that you can breathe
    blinking your eyes are automatic.
    Exercise
    If you take part in lots of exercise what
    will happen to your muscles?
    They will get bigger and stronger

    Activity
    See sheets.
    Facts!
    You have over 30 facial muscles which
    create looks like surprise, happiness,
    sadness, and frowning.
    Eye muscles are the busiest muscles in
    the body. Scientists estimate they may
    move more than 100,000 times a day!
