    The document discusses the nervous system and muscle types. There are three main types of muscle: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and allows for movement. Muscle contraction occurs when actin and myosin interact to release calcium, causing involuntary shortening of muscle fibers. A motor unit is made up of an alpha motor neuron and one or more muscle fibers to control muscle movement.

    1. The overall function of muscle is movement because they change shape movement and change shape. There are three types of muscle. They are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. 2. Skelatal muscle is the muscle attached to the skeleton. Usually a large area of a bone. A muscle fiber is a muscle cell. Inside the muscle fiber is a myofibril. 3. Muscle contration involves actin and myosin to release calcium. When this happens this leads to involuntary contraction. 4. A motor unit is comprised of one alpha motor neuron and one or more muscle fibers. 5.
