Muscular System Flashcards
make up 42% of body weight, consisting of long, slender cells known as fibers.
Muscles
Muscular system consist of longs lenders cells that are known as what
Fibers
This connective tissues or fibers that compose the muscles are enclosed by a fibrous sheath
Fascia
Are responsible for all types of body movements they contract or shortens and are the machines of the body
Muscles
What are the three types of muscle tissues
Skeletal smooth and cardiac
Are responsible for movement maintain posture produces heat or maintaining temperature
Muscles
What does muscles do when during cold temperature
They contract to produce heat
This type of muscle tissue are described as it is close or parallel to each other
Skeletal muscle tissue
This type of muscle tissues are described that are filled with woven fibers
Smooth muscle tissue
This type of muscle tissue are described as filled with mitochondria
Cardiac muscle tissue
It is a muscle that a person can control
Voluntary muscle
Movement that a person can control and it is with conscious control
Voluntary muscle
It is a muscle that can functions without a person’s control
Involuntary muscle
Doesn’t have a conscious control and its examples are the heart the lungs the stomach the livers and the diaphragm
Involuntary muscle
voluntary, striated):
- Attached to bones, enabling movement.
- Works in pairs (one muscle contracts, the other relaxes).
- Controlled by the nervous system.
Skeletal muscle
(involuntary):
- Found in internal organs (e.g., stomach, intestines).
- Controls movements within the body.
Smooth muscle
(involuntary, striated):
- Found only in the heart, responsible for pumping blood.
- Controlled by electrical impulses from the heart’s pacemaker (sinoatrial node).
Cardiac muscle
They do not work on isolation
Skeletal muscles
It modifies the four speed direction of movement produced by muscle contraction
Attaching the muscles to a lever
They act as a flexor
Biceps
They act as supports to the flexor or as the extensors
Triceps
Skeletal muscles are attached to and move bones by contracting and relaxing in response to voluntary messages from where?
Nervous system
It is the long cells that composes the skeletal muscle tissue that have a striated appearance
Muscle fibers
Provides skeletal movement control entrances and exits of digestive tract produces heat and support skeletal position to protect soft tissues
