  1. The Muscular System

  2. Muscles • Bones require muscles for locomotion • Muscles move bone by contracting (shortening)

  3. Function of Muscles • Produce movement • Maintain posture • Stabilize joints • Generate heat

  4. The Muscular System • Muscles are responsible for all types of body movement – they contract or shorten and are the machine of the body • Three basic muscle types are found in the body • Smooth muscle • Cardiac muscle • Skeletal muscle

  5. There are three types of Muscle: Smooth Muscle • Located in the digestive and reproductive system • Under Involuntary control CardiacMuscle • Found in the wall of the heart • under Involuntarycontrol SkeletalMuscle • Attached to bone • Provide force for moving and stabilizing the body • Under Voluntarycontrol • Striated muscle

  6. 4 Types of Connective Tissue At the joints (where bones meet), there are different types of connective tissue: Ligament – connects bone to bone Tendon – connects muscle to bone Bursa – fluid filled sac that allows bones to move easily over others Cartilage – connective tissue that cushions the joint at the end of bones and between bones

  7. Anatomy of the Muscular System • Origin • Muscle attachment that remains fixed • Insertion • Muscle attachment that moves • Action • What joint movement a muscle produces • i.e. flexion, extension, abduction, etc.

  8. For muscles to create a movement, they can only pull, not push • Muscles in the body rarely work alone, & are usually arranged in groups surrounding a joint • A muscle that contracts to create the desired action is known as an agonistor prime mover • A muscle that helps the agonist is a synergist • A muscle that opposes the action of the agonist, therefore undoing the desired action is an antagonist

  9. Antagonistic Muscles • A pair of muscles which work against each other to make a joint move • The muscle that contracts to bend the joint is the flexor, and the muscle that contracts to straighten the joint is the extensor

  10. Did you know… If you’re double jointed it means that you have extra stretchy ligaments which allows your joints more flexibility

  11. Movement • Muscles move bones. Muscles are attached to the bone by tendons. • When the muscle contracts, it becomes shorter and pulls the tendon which pulls the bone. When the muscle relaxes, the pulling stops. • Muscles can only PULL, so they work in pairs. For example, the bicep contracts to pull the lower arm up. When the tricep contracts, your arm straightens.

  12. Summary Bones provide the framework of the body, joints allow for movement, and muscles provide the strength to realize the movements. The kind of movement depends on the shape of the bone and in the joint.
