Muscular system is a system of tissues called muscles throughout the body.
Movement is one of the important characteristics of living beings. The force responsible for movement in living organisms occurs within the body itself. The muscular system is a system of tissues called muscles throughout the body. It permits movement of the body. The muscular system is the biological system of humans that produces movement. The muscular system, in vertebrates, is controlled through the nervous system, although some muscles, like cardiac muscle, can be completely autonomous. Muscle is contractile tissue and is derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells. Its function is to produce force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement within internal organs.
Movement is one of the important characteristics of living beings.
The muscular system consists of three different types of muscle tissues: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles which maintains posture and provide strength, balance, movement and heat for the body to keep warm. The muscular system in vertebrates is controlled through the nervous system. The human body contains more than 650 individual muscles served by nerves which, link each individual muscle to the brain and spinal cord.
There are two types of muscles in the system and they are the involuntary muscles, and the voluntary muscles. The muscles which are controlled by ourselves are called the voluntary muscles and the ones we can't are the involuntary muscles. The heart, or the cardiac muscle, is an example of involuntary muscle. Much of muscle contraction occurs without conscious thought and is necessary for survival, like the contraction of the heart or peristalsis, which pushes food through the digestive system. Voluntary muscle contraction is used to move the body and can be finely controlled, such as movements of the finger or gross movements that of the biceps and triceps.
