The Muscular System
The Muscular System
Muscle fibers are long slender cells
and make up muscle fibers. Each muscle is made up of fibers, covered with fascia and attached to bones by tendons.
The Muscular System
Fascia = sheet or band of fibrou
Functions of the Muscular System
Chapter 8: The Muscular System
Produces movement Maintains posture Stabilizes joints Generates heat
Types of Muscles
Smooth muscle
1 nucleus; no striations; involuntary in the walls of hollow organs (viscera

Muscular Tissue
Motion results from alternating contraction (shortening) and relaxation of muscles; the skeletal system provides leverage and a supportive framework for this movement. The scientific study of muscles is known as myology
