Study Notes
Muscles and Their Functions
- Skeletal muscle is attached to the skeleton and is responsible for body movement.
- The study of muscles is called myology.
- Cardiac muscle is responsible for the pumping action of the heart.
- Smooth muscle is responsible for involuntary movements, such as the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, digestive tract, and other internal organs.
- Endomysium is a layer of connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers, providing support and protection.
