homeostasis Flashcards
how do muscles influence the intergumentary system
facial expression
increase blood flow to skin
how to muscles influence the skeletal system
movement
joint stability
how do muscles influence the nervous system
carries out commands
shivering - generates heat/raises body temp
muscles - endocrine system
exercise improves action of hormones like insulin
protects some endocrine glands
muscles - cardiovascular system
cardiac muscle pumps heart
smooth muscle in blood vessel walls controls blood flow
muscle contraction in legs helps return blood to the heart (venus return)
exercise - hypertrophy cardiac muscle - increased efficiency
lactic acid produced in skeletal muscle used to make ATP in the heart
muscles - lymphatic system
protects lymph nodes, vessels
promotes lymph flow
exercise - increase/decrease immune response
muscles respiratory system
respiratory muscle facilitate airflow in - out of lungs
smooth muscle adjusts airway size
skeletal muscle in larynx controls air flow past vocal cords - changes voice
cough/sneeze - clears airways
exercise improves breathing efficency
Muscle - Digestive system
protects/supports digestive organs
chewing/swallowing
smooth muscle sphincters control volume of GIT organs
smooth muscle in intestinal wall helps mix contents & move through
muscle - urinary system
smooth muscle sphincter and in wall of bladder controls storage/release urine
muscle - reproductive system
skeletal & smooth muscles eject semen
smooth muscle propels egg along uterine tubes, controls menstrual flow, expels baby from uterus in childbirth.
