``DIFINITION The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal‚ smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body‚ maintains posture‚ and circulates blood throughout the body Muscles provide strength‚ balance‚ movement and heat for the body to keep warm There are three distinct types of muscles: skeletal muscles‚ cardiac or heart muscles‚ and smooth (non-striated) muscles Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue existing throughout the human body‚ and which

Gross Anatomy of the Muscular System Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? The purpose of this exercise is for students to identify and name the major muscles of the human body. Students will also understand the muscle actions correspond with their locations in the body. Are there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so‚ list what they are and what precautions should be taken. There are some safety concerns with this exercise. Gloves‚ masks and goggles

Muscle System Human Biology The human body is covered by muscles‚ made up of more than 650 of them. The purpose of the muscular system is for the body to move‚ maintain posture‚ and produce heat. There are three different types of muscles tissues; cardiac‚ smooth‚ and skeletal. There are also two types of muscles are in the body; voluntary and involuntary. The ones which we can move are the voluntary muscles; the ones which move on their own‚ like the heart‚ are involuntary muscles. When muscles

The Muscular System: Muscle Metabolism 1. List the three roles of ATP in muscle contraction: 1. ________________________________ 2. ________________________________ 3. _________________________________ 2. The potential energy in ATP is released when the terminal high-energy bond is broken by a process called ___________________________. Write the end products of this process: ATP (+ H2O) → _________________ 3. Rebuilding ADP into ATP with a new source of energy is carried out by a process called

Anatomy and Physiology Introduction In this assignment i will carry full investigation and analysis on the Skeletal system‚using my class notes‚researching on the internet and reading books. The Skeletal system is the system of bones‚ associated cartilages and joints of human body. Together these structures form the human skeleton. Skeleton can be defined as the hard framework of human body around which the entire body is built. Almost all the hard parts of human body are components of human

May 30‚ 2010 The Cardiovascular and Muscular Systems Organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain task. Humans have a variety of systems due to the complexity of the species’ organism. The human body consists of biological systems‚ that consist of organs‚ that consist of tissues‚ that consist of cells and connective tissue. Although an organ has a specific function‚ organs also function as part of a group. The organ system is the organizational unit by which

Diseases of the Muscular System There are over 650 muscles in the human muscular system. Each muscle has a specific role to perform. These muscles help us talk‚ walk‚ sit‚ run‚ eat‚ move about‚ hold things‚ and most important the continuous pumping of the heart muscles keeps us alive. Muscular system diseases cause many problems in the human body‚ that affects the mobility and functioning of various parts of the body. The list is very long as there are number of disorders that affect the human body
