I. MUSCLE
▪ It allows a person to move, speak
and chew.
▪ Contraction and relaxation are
their main actions.
▪ It makes up about 40% of the total
weight.
FUNCTIONS
1) Proper posture.
2) Blood circulation.
3) Stability of bones and joints.
4) Respiration by the diaphragm.
5) Mobility for Gross and Fine Motor skills.
FUNCTIONS
6) Urination
7) Childbirth
8) Organ Protection
9) Temperature regulation
10)Gastrointestinal or GI tract control
digestion. The GI tract stretches from the
mouth to the anus.

organs such as
stomach.
PERISTALSIS
▪ Food moves through the digestive system with a wave-like motion.
▪ Musclesin the walls of the hollow organs contract and relax to cause
this movement, which pushes food through the esophagus into the
stomach.
▪ The upper muscle in the stomach relaxes to allow food to enter, while
the lower muscles mix food particles with stomach acid and enzymes.
▪ The digested food moves from the stomach to the intestines by
peristalsis. From here, more muscles contract to pass the food out of
the body as stool.

DIVISIONS
IV. LIGAMENTS
▪ Connect one bone to
another bone.
▪ Like ropes, they
stabilize the joint or
hold the ends of two
bones together. This
ensures that the
bones in the joint
don’t twist too much
or move too far apart
and become
dislocated.
V. JOINTS
▪ A joint is the physical point of
connection between two bones.
▪ Joints contain a variety of fibrous
connective tissue.
▪ Cartilage covers the ends of bones
and provides cushioning.
