A. Background Information for Learners
A cat strikes
out at a rat to
capture it. With a
quick turn, the rat
moves away to
escape. Both
animals use their
muscles for
movements.
Muscle is a
special kind of tissue that brings about movement. The kind of movement that

muscles carry out depends on where the muscles are located. Without
muscles your bones and joints will be useless. Bones cannot move by
themselves. Moving, breathing and swallowing would be impossible without
muscles.
Muscles, the organs of the muscular system, consist largely of muscle
cells that are specialized to undergo contraction. During this contraction,
some of the chemical energy of nutrients is converted to mechanical energy
or movement. The front view of the muscular system is shown below.

When muscles contract, they pull the body parts to which they are
attached. This action usually causes some movement, as when the joints of

: 0917-750-2982
the legs are flexed and extended during walking. At the other time, muscular
contraction resists motion, as when they help the body parts in postural
positions. Muscles are also responsible for the movement of the body fluids
such as blood and urine, and they function in heat production that helps
maintain body temperature.
There are 600 muscles in the human body. Most muscles are attached
to bones and extended from one bone to another. Each end of the muscles is
attached to a bone by a strong connective tissue, a tendon. Bones of the
muscles move only when the muscles attached to them pull.
Muscles do not push; they only pull. Therefore, most muscles come in
pairs. The muscles of your arm are good examples of how muscles work as
partners. The two muscles of your arms are called biceps and triceps.
The
biceps is a
flexor muscle.
It produces a
flexing or
bending action
by pulling the
lower arm bone
at the joint
towards the

body. The triceps is an

: 0917-750-2982
extensor muscle. It produces an extending or straightening action by
returning the bone to the relaxed position.
Not all muscles are connected to the bones. For example, heart
muscles work by squeezing. Some muscles are connected to the skin. This
is how you can smile by moving fourteen muscles. It takes 75 muscles to
frown.
