Study Notes
Muscular System
- The muscular system is responsible for movement in the body.
Types of Muscles
- There are three types of muscles in the muscular system: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle.
Skeletal Muscle
- Responsible for movement in the body, such as walking and running.
- Also responsible for precise movements such as facial expressions and eye movements.
Functions of Muscle Contraction
- Besides movement, muscle contraction also helps with blood circulation and maintaining posture.
Description Matching
- Smooth muscle: involuntary, found in internal organs, and concerned with automatic functions.
- Cardiac muscle: involuntary, found in the heart, and responsible for pumping blood.
- Skeletal muscle: voluntary, found in skeletal muscles, and responsible for movement.
Movement Matching
- Walking and running: skeletal muscle.
- Blood circulation: smooth muscle.
- Pumping blood: cardiac muscle.
Definition Matching
- Muscle tone: a state of partial contraction of muscles that helps maintain posture.
- Isotonic contraction: muscle contraction that produces movement.
- Isometric contraction: muscle contraction that produces tension without movement.
Types of Movements
- Isotonic movement: movement that occurs when muscle contraction produces movement, such as bending the arm.
- Isometric movement: movement that occurs when muscle contraction produces tension without movement, such as holding a weight.
