• Many stretchy fibres join and form muscles

• The muscular system includes - muscles, tendons, connective tissue, etc.

• There are three categories of tissues in the human body:

• Skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and heart tendon tissues

• The muscular system is involved with the body's movement.

• The blood vessels, skeletal muscles, nerves, and muscles that make up every muscle are considered to be independent organs

Multiple Choice

What are the three categories of tissues?

• Hair, nails, teeth

• Tendons, cartilage, fatty tissue

• • Skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and heart tendon tissues

• Soft tissue, bones, joints

​The Muscular System

• The muscles provide tug on the bones needed to bend, straighten, and support joints

• The muscles can pull on bones but they can't push them back to their original position

• muscles work in pairs of flexors and extensors

Multiple Choice

Functions of Muscles

• the second function of the muscular system is maintaining posture and body position

• the muscles often contract to hold the body still, they hold up the body throughout the day without becoming tired

• The main functions of the muscular system are movement, support, protection, heat generation, and blood circulation

• respiration

• cell development
