Q

Your skeletal muscles are responsible for the movements
you make. Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones and
partly controlled by the central nervous system (CNS)

A

MOBILITY

118
Q

The involuntary cardiac and smooth muscles help your
heart beat and blood flow through your body by producing
electrical impulses. The cardiac muscle (myocardium) is
found in the walls of the heart. It’s controlled by the
autonomic nervous system responsible for most bodily
functions

A

CIRCULATION

119
Q

Your diaphragm is the main muscle at work during quiet
breathing. Heavier breathing, like what you experience
during exercise, may require accessory muscles to help the
diaphragm. These can include the abdominal, neck, and back
muscles.

A

RESPIRATION

120
Q

Digestion is controlled by smooth muscles found in your
gastrointestinal tract. This comprises the: mouth, esophagus,
stomach, small and large intestines, rectum, anus.

A

DIGESTION

121
Q

Smooth and skeletal muscles make up the urinary system.
The urinary system includes the: kidneys, bladder, ureters,
urethra, penis or vagina, prostate.

A

URINATION

122
Q

Smooth muscles are found in the uterus. During pregnancy,
these muscles grow and stretch as the baby grows. When a
woman goes into labor, the smooth muscles of the uterus
contract and relax to help push the baby through the vagina.

A

CHILDBIRTH

123
Q

Your eye sockets are made up of six skeletal muscles that
help you move your eye sand the internal muscles of your
eyes are made up of smooth muscles. If you damage these
muscles, you may impair your vision.

A

VISION

124
Q

The skeletal muscles in your core help protect your spine
and help with stability. Your core muscle group includes the
abdominal, back, and pelvic muscles. This group is also
known as the trunk. The stronger your core, the better you
can stabilize your body. The muscles in your legs also help
steady you.

A

STABILITY

125
Q

Your skeletal muscles also control posture. Flexibility and

strength are keys to maintaining proper posture.

A

POSTURE

126

energy is used efficiently. Some energy is lost as a heat in
the process.

A

HEAT PRODUCTION
