III. PROCEDURE

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. PREPARATION 
    1. Prayer
Before we start may I ask Anne to lead the
prayer?
Heavenly Father, Amen.
    2. Greetings
    Good Afternoon class!
Good Afternoon Ma’am
3.cleanliness and Orderliness

I am glad to hear that we have perfect
attendance today. 

B. Review

“Class did you still remember our topic

yesterday?” Pupils: Yes Ma’am!

What was our lesson yesterday?

Yes Jodilyn?
Jodilyn: Ma’am our topic yesterday was
Very good! about the skeletal system.

What is skeletal system again?

Yes Jonalyn?
Jonalyn: The skeletal system is the
frame work of the body.
Very good! And what is the function of
skeletal system Anne?
Anne: Ma’am, it serves as a protection
Ok. Very good! and for motion of the body.

And how many bones are there in a

human skeleton?

Yes Princess? Princess: Ma’am there are 206 bones in

a human skeleton.
Very Good! Well done class!

C. Motivation
Before we start our lesson, I’m going to
show you a video that is related to our
discussion for today. Then later we are
going to have our recitation so watch and
listen carefully.

D. DISCUSSION
What was the video about?
Yes, Patricia? Patricia: Ma’am it is about the muscular
system.
Very good!
And that is our lesson for today.
What is the function of the muscular
system?
Yes Joy? Joy: Ma’am, the function of the muscular
system is for the motion of the body.
Very good!
The muscular system's main

2
function is to allow movement and
stability. Muscle tendons stretch over
joints and contribute to joint stability.
How many muscles do we have in our
body Joy? Joy: Ma’am we have 650 muscle in the
body
Very good Joy!
There are 650 muscles both in the
young and adult bodies.
What are the 3 types of muscles?
Anne can you give one type of muscle?
Very good! Anne: skeletal muscle Ma’am.
Can you give me another type of muscle
Alyssa?
Alyssa: Ma’am smooth muscle
Very good!
What else Angel?
Angel: cardiac muscle Ma’am.
Very good! What you all said are
correct!
Now we will know what are the functions
and the importance of these types of
muscles.

Skeletal Muscle
 Muscle tissue that is attached to
bone is skeletal muscle.
Whether you are blinking
your eyes or running a marathon,
you are using skeletal muscle.
Contractions of skeletal muscle
are voluntary, or under conscious
control. When skeletal muscle
contracts, bones move. Skeletal
muscle is the most common type
of muscle in the human body.

3
 Smooth Muscle
Muscle tissue in the walls of internal
organs such as the stomach and
intestines are smooth muscle. When
smooth muscle contracts, it helps the
organs carry out their functions. For
example, when smooth muscle in the
stomach contracts, it squeezes the food
inside the stomach, which helps break
the food into smaller pieces.
Contractions of smooth muscle are
involuntary. This means they are not
under conscious control.

 Cardiac Muscle
Cardiac muscle is found only in the
walls of the heart. When cardiac muscle
contracts, the heart beats and
pumps blood. This helps the heart resist
fatigue. Contractions of cardiac muscle
are involuntary, like those of smooth
muscle. Cardiac muscle, like skeletal
muscle, is arranged in bundles, so it
appears striated, or striped.

Where you able to understand our

lesson for today?

Excellent! Pupils: Yes Ma’am!

D. GENERALIZATION
“For a little recap, what is our lesson all
about?”
Very good!
Pupils: About types of muscular system
What is the function of the muscular Ma’am!
system again?

Pupils: The muscular system's main

function is to allow movement and for
stability.
Ok very good! And how many muscles
do we have on our body?
Pupils: There are 650 muscles on the
body.
Very good class!
And what are the types of the muscles?
Pupils: The types of muscles are:
1. Skeletal muscle
2. Smooth muscle and
What is the common type of muscle in 3. Cardiac muscle
the human body?
Pupils: Skeletal muscle

It is found only in the walls of the heart?

Pupils: Cardiac muscle
Excellent class!
Are there any questions regarding our
topic for today?
Pupils: No Ma’am.
Good since you don’t have any
question, let’s check if you were able to
understand our lesson for today.

E. APPLICATION
Get you activity notebook then answer
this following questions.
Joy kindly read the directions to your
classmates.
Directions: Write SM if the statement
pertains to smooth muscles, CA if
cardiac muscles, and SK if skeletal
muscle.
_______1. These are muscles found
only in the heart.

the bone.

IV. EVALUATION
Directions:
Get a partner. Compare and contrast
the 3 types of muscles. Draw up a table
that includes the muscle type, the
purpose, and whether they are voluntary
or involuntary.

Answer:
Muscle Purpose Voluntary/Involuntary
Type

Cardiac Line heart involuntary

Muscle wall
beat/pump

Smooth Digestion, Involuntary

Muscle blood
movement

Skeletal Skeletal voluntary

Muscle movements
