Muscular system

What is the muscular system?

• The muscular system is a network of tissues that controls movement throughout the body.
• The muscular system is a network of nerves that transmit signals.
• The muscular system is a system of organs that aid in digestion.
• The muscular system is a group of bones that support the body.

What are Actin and Myosin?

• Types of vitamins
• Forms of carbohydrates
• Categories of minerals
• Proteins responsible for muscle contraction

What other systems are involved in movement?

• nervous system, muscular system, skeletal system
• endocrine system
• digestive system
• respiratory system

What muscle is in charged of circulation?

• Heart muscle
• Lung muscle
• Brain muscle
• Stomach muscle

What are other functions of the muscular system?

• Regulating body temperature
• Maintaining posture, stabilizing joints, generating heat, aiding in digestion
• Transporting oxygen in the body
• Producing hormones

What are skeletal muscles?

• Muscles attached to the heart for involuntary movements.
• Muscles attached to the skin for sensory perception.
• Muscles attached to the brain for cognitive functions.
• Muscles attached to bones for voluntary movements.

What are smooth muscles?

• Muscles found only in the arms and legs
• Voluntary muscles controlled by the brain
• Muscles responsible for vision
• Involuntary muscles found in the walls of hollow organs.

What are tendons?

• Tendons are fibrous connective tissues that connect muscles to bones.
• Tendons are nerves that connect muscles to bones.
• Tendons are ligaments that connect muscles to bones.
• Tendons are bones that connect muscles to bones.

What is muscle contraction?

• Muscle contraction is the process of muscle fibers generating heat instead of movement.
• Muscle contraction is the process in which muscle fibers generate tension and shorten to produce movement.
• Muscle contraction is the process of muscle fibers relaxing and lengthening.
• Muscle contraction is the process of bones moving without muscle involvement.

the muscle that contracts is called:

• flexor
• agonist
• synergist
• antagonist
