Mascular 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.

Group Muscles by functions

 Prime Movers/Agonists - Primary responsibility in producing a particular motion.

 Antagonists - Muscle that oppose particular movement
- When a prime mover is active it's antagonists is strecthed and relaxed.
Antagonists can be prime mover in their own right.
 synergists - Syn (Together), erg (work)
- Helps prime Movers by producing the same movement or by reducing
undesirable movements.
 Fixators - Are specialized synergists. They hold or stabilized the origin of a prime mover
so all the extension can be moved the insertion bone

3 Types of Muscle Tissue

Skeletal - Skeletal muscle is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle
and smooth muscle. It is a form of striated muscle tissue, which is under the voluntary control
of the somatic nervous system. ... A skeletal muscle refers to multiple bundles (fascicles) of cells
joined together called muscle fibers.

Smooth - Smooth muscle: Along with skeletal and cardiac muscle, one of the types of muscle
tissue in the body. Smooth muscle generally forms the supporting tissue of blood vessels and
hollow internal organs, such as the stomach, intestine, and bladder.

Cardiac - Anatomical terminology. Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is
one of three types of vertebrate muscles, with the other two being skeletal and smooth
muscles. It is an involuntary, striated muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the walls of the
heart.

Skeletal muscles also have specific names they are named according to specific criteria

Muscle location - example: The temporal is is adjacent to temporal bone.

Muscle shape - Left trapezius muscles are roughly trapeziodal shape.

Muscle size - Maximus (Large), Minimus (Small), Longus (Long), Brevis ( short)

Example: The gluteus Maximus and gluteus Minimus

Muscle Fibers - Sometimes can run in a particular direction with reference to some line.
 Rectus (Parallel), Transversus (Perpendicular), Oblique (at some single so the
rectus femoris runs parallel to the long axis of the femur

Muscles number of origins - biceps, triceps, quadriceps have 2, 3, and 4 origins respectively.
