Acetylcholine: Chemical messenger released from nerve to control


1. Muscle soreness comes from a buldup of the voluntary muscle contraction.
lactic acid

Skeletal muscle: Striated muscles attaching bones using tendons.

contracts. When a flexor contracts, it brings two bones together,
bending the limbs, or in other words, decreases the angle between
the limbs. On the other hand, the motion of straightening your limbs
is known as extension, and it is when extensor muscles contract and
increases the angle between your limbs. Flexor and extensor are
antagonistic muscles.

TYPES OF MUSCLE
When referring to muscles, you might think about all the physical There are three types of muscle: cardiac, smooth and skeletal

MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM system.
Location: In the walls of the heart.
The main function and purpose of a muscular system is to allow the
majority of your body movement to take place. Below is a list of Smooth Muscle
some of the body functions the muscular system is involved in.

nucleus, have a spindled shape.
Function: Controlled by the ANS. Contract

Mobility "housekeeping" functions of the body.
Stability Location: In the walls of hollow organs,
tracts, passageways, etc. For e.g.
Posture respiratory tract, stomach

The muscle fibers are rearranged to shorten the muscles.


Ciculation Skeletal Muscle
Structure: Striated, multinucleate
Function: Controlled by the SNS.
Respiration Contract voluntarily,
provide movement, produces heat and
energy for the body, maintains posture
and protects internal organs.
Location: Found in between bones.
Digestion Once the motor neurone stops sending impulse, the process stops
and the muscle returns to its resting position to relax.

connective tissues that
join bones to muscles.
