Muscular system Flashcards
A complex collection of tissues, each with a different purpose
Muscular System
Properties of the Muscular System
Exitability
Extensibilty
Elasticity
Contractility
Ability to be stretched.
Extensibility
Ability to shorted.
Contractility
Ability to recoil to resting length.
Elasticity
Response to receive and respond to stimuli.
Exitability
The muscles are stimulated. What type of property is this?
Exitability
Muscles return to original length. What type of property is this?
Elasticity
The biceps stretch when extending the elbow. What type of property is this?
Extensibility
The biceps contract when flexing the elbow
Contractility
Covers the bones and internal organs of the body thus serves as a padding.
Muscular System

True
Types of Muscular System

Smooth
Skeletal
It is ONLY found in the heart.
Cardiac Muscle
It works automatically but is under constant nervous and chemical control.
Cardiac Muscle
Contraction of smooth muscles helps move material through your body, such as food in your stomach.
