Study Notes
Functions of the Muscular System
- The Muscular System is responsible for Movement, Maintenance of Posture, Respiration, Production of Body heat, Communication, Constriction of Organs and Vessels, and Contraction of the Heart.
- Skeletal muscle is responsible for most body movement.
- Skeletal muscle maintains tone, which helps us sit and stand erect.
- Respiration is achieved by the contraction of skeletal muscles in the thorax and diaphragm.
- Skeletal muscle contractions produce heat as a byproduct.
- Muscle contractions are involved in all aspects of Communication.
- Smooth muscle contraction causes constriction of internal organs and vessels.
- Contraction of cardiac muscle causes the heart to beat.
FUNCTIONAL Properties of Muscle Tissue
- Contractility: The ability of a muscle to shorten forcefully
- Excitability: The ability of a muscle to be stimulated by a nerve to contract.
- Extensibility: The ability of a muscle to be stretched beyond its normal resting length.
- Elasticity: The ability of the muscle to return to its original resting length after being stretched.
