MUSCULAR

SYSTEM

DEL ROSARIO, ELIJA MARIE T.

CARE GIVER NCII
 OBJECTIVE:
As a caregiver to become a familiar
with the nomenclature for muscle and their
actions.to locate and learn the action of the
muscles of the axal skeleton.

The muscular system is an organ system

consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac
muscles. It permits of movement of the body.

 MUSCLES MAKE UP APPROXIMATELY 40% OF TOTAL
WEIGHT.
 THE HEART IS THE HARDEST WORKING MUSCLE IN THE
BODY IT PUMPS 5 QUARTS OF BLOOD PERMINUTE 2,000
GALLONS DAILY
 THE GLUTUES MAXIMUS IS THE BODIES LARGEEST
MUSCLE. IT IS IN THE BUTTOCKS AND HELP HUMANS
MAITAIN AN UPRIGHT POSTURE.
 THE EAR CONTAINS THE SMALLEST MUSCLE IN THE BODY
ALONG SIDE THE SMALLEST BONES. THIS MUSCLES HOLD
THE INNER EAR TOGETHER AND ARE CONNECTED TO THE
EARDRUM
 A MUSCLE CALLED THE MASSETER IN THE JAW IS THE
STRONGEST MUSCLE BY WEIGHT. IT ALLOWS THE TEETH
TO CLOSE WITH THE FORCE OF UP TO 55 POUNDS ON
THE INSCISORS OR 200 POUNDS ON THE MOLARS.
