Study Notes
Muscle Types
- Smooth muscle is located in blood vessels and hollow organs.
- Skeletal muscle is voluntarily controlled and attached to bones.
Muscle Properties
- The functional property of muscles that refers to their ability to shorten forcefully or contract is called contractility.
Muscular System
-
The functions of the muscular system include:
- Movement and locomotion
- Maintenance of posture
- Regulation of body temperature
- Support of soft tissues and organs
- Assistance in circulation and respiration
Skeletal Muscle Structure
- Skeletal muscles are surrounded by a connective tissue covering called epimysium.
