    Muscles attach to bones at origins and insertions and act on joints to move the body. They provide stability, mobility, respiration, and digestion. Muscles are long, cylindrical, and striated. The sliding-filament theory of muscle contraction explains how myosin heads split ATP, become reoriented and energized, and bind to actin to form crossbridges and cause muscle contraction. Common muscle injuries include sprains, strains, cramps, and tendinitis.
