The muscles play major role in the body. Produce movement, maintain posture, stabilize joints, and help generate heat, assist in blood circulation. There are three types of muscles. Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are most abundant and found attached to skeleton. They respond quickly to stimuli, help in adjusting individual to external environment and being capable of rapid contractions. Skeletal muscle act by contraction that results in shortening and pull on the tendons. Than this transfers the force to bone attached and makes desired movements. Skeletal muscles rarely work by themselves to make movements in the body. The biceps brachii muscle extends the arm at the elbow. When triceps is extending the
The anatomy and physiology of the human body explains that muscles are attached to the skeleton. They work like hinges or levers to pull or move particular joints when a muscle contracts, pulling the joint in the direction it is designed to move. Parts of muscles move antagonistically, that is, when one contracts, its opposite member relaxes to allow movement. Muscles can become slack, making movement slower and more difficult.
skeleton, which provides the pulling power for us to move around. The main job of the muscular
Muscles in human body is like the motor which supports or assist the bones at the joints to move and work. When the muscle pulls it moves the bones at particular joints, which establish the joints to move about.
The muscular system has many functions. There are 5 main functions. Firstly, it allows us to balance via proprio receptors. In terms of balance, not only do you rely on the two sensory organs in your inner ear but also receptors in your muscles and tendons help your body to balance. The receptors in your muscles and tendons are called proprio receptors, these proprio receptors detect how stretched your joints, tendons and muscles are.
Tendon – When the muscles contract it pulls the tendon that then pulls on the bones to make us move our arms and legs
The musculoskeletal allows the body to function through a group of muscles, bones, tendons, cartilage and ligaments. The body moves through different muscle contractions. This makes the bone pull towards the contracting muscles. The skeletal system provides a structure for the body, while the muscular system creates movement in the bones of the skeletal system by contracting and relaxing. When exercising, the muscles increase in pliability. This is when the muscles become more pliable as they become warm, reducing the chance of getting an injury. They become more pliable as the muscles contract really fast when exercising. The contractions generate heat take makes the muscle more pliable.
Muscles and skelton interact when muscles attach to the bone enabling your bones to move. Muscles support your body and they help you keep balance. The muscles in your body protect you by covering your skelton and your organs. Muscles also change chemical energy during exercise.Muscles are made up of strong tissue that can contract in an orderly fashion. Skeletal Muscles are types of muscle that attaches to the bone.Muscles and skeleton interact when muscles attach to the bone allowing your bones to move.When the muscles contract that is when the bone is able to move. For example it happens when you run or stretch.Muscles also support your body to help you keep your balance.If you loose balance muscles try as best as they can to help you regain
While most people associate muscles with strength, they do more than assist in lifting heavy objects. The 650 muscles in the body not only support movement controlling walking, talking, sitting, standing, eating and other daily functions that we consciously perform. Muscles also help to maintain posture and circulate blood and other substances throughout the body, among other functions. Muscles can also be identified by their function. The flexor group of the forearm flexes the wrist and the fingers. The supinator is a muscle that supinates the wrist by rolling it over to
The musculoskeletal involves the muscles and skeletal system which consist of bones supporting the bodyweight. The muscles and bones help in movement and maintaining body position through the physiological process of contraction and relaxation, muscles pulling on the bones. The skeletal systems also consist of cartilages and ligaments important for bone connection and stability with connective tissue. The muscles get attached to the bone by the connective tissue enhancing contraction and relaxation in movement. The muscles contain long muscle fibers responsible for the contraction and relaxation. The fibers contain bundles some of which allow slow movement described as slow twitch and fast twitch which ensure fast movement. The process of movement involves coordination between the musculoskeletal system and nervous system. In the process of muscle contraction to enhance movement the following takes place.

“Life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer” (Schwarzenegger). This quote has inspired countless people to not only lift weights, but to do something that they otherwise might not have done. To push themselves harder and harder to achieve a goal. I’ve heard many stories of weightlifting changing people’s lives. For every life changing story that has been told, there are a fair share of bad things heard about weightlifting. Are these bad things true or just myths? Weightlifting is a good and healthy thing to do in which everyone should try and undertake.
The calf muscle is a vital part of human anatomy. This muscle is actually made up of two muscles: the gastrocnemius and the soleus. The gastrocnemius is the biggest part, and forms the bulge that is visible on the leg. The soleus is located underneath the gastrocnemius and is small and flat. Both of these muscles connect with the achilles tendon through tough tissues. From there, the achilles tendon inserts into the heel. During movement such as walking, running, and jumping, the calf muscle pulls up on the heel to allow for movement. A very common condition of the calf muscle is straining/pulling it. The muscle is stretched further than its normal length, and is partially or fully torn. Most calf muscle pulls can heal themselves, but a full tear requires surgery. There are many common, easy exercises to strengthen the calf muscles.
The muscles produce more energy as skeletal movements increase when you do this test as they would for any type of exercise, and the circulatory system's activity during exercise enhances the supply of fluids, oxygen and nutrients your muscles need for energy production. The circulatory system plays a strong part in helping your body to balance and maintain healthy chemical strengths during exercise. Your circulatory system's veins work harder circulating waste-rich blood back to your heart during exercise and pumps faster so your heart contracts and pushes the blood into the pulmonary artery; and your lungs absorb carbon dioxide from the pulmonary artery and expel the toxic gas from your body each time you exhale. The Capillary beds in your
In life you use your arms for almost everything from picking things up to help walking. They give you so many things you can do like the abilities to carry, lift, pull, push, write, or even balance. Without these in life there are so many simple tasks you would be unable to do or would be much more difficult to do without compared to now when having these things. In this I want to specifically talk about your biceps and triceps. These two muscles are part of your upper arm and found in the “front” and “back” areas of your arm with the bicep in front and tricep in back. These muscles specifically help you with the tasks of being able to pull and push using your arms. The bicep allows you to be able to pull things in towards you and the tricep
Introduction: The muscular system has important functions within the human body. This system is responsible for the movement of limbs, food and liquid, as well as the maintenance of body heat. Muscles are distinctly known for their extensibility, elasticity, irritability and contractility [1].
I think the muscle cells that make the muscle tissues are the most powerful, organizer, and important cells of the whole body because they are the one gives us the ability to move, carry, and run when we need to. Because it is very important to us, they are protected by the other tissues (the epithelium and the connective tissues). For example, when we love someone we do not know, but the first thing we see is how he moves and his body language. My second example, the heart in the most important organ in our body that why the heart is protected by the ribs cage and also the muscle tissues is very important for the heart to pump the blood to all our
