Involuntary Muscles Involuntary Muscles Muscles that are not under your conscious control. Examples - heart, muscles used for breathing
Voluntary Muscles • Muscles that are under your conscious control. • Examples – smiling, turning a page in a book, and standing up.
Skeletal • Are attached to the bones of your skeleton and provide the force that moves your bones. • They are Striated • Striated - banded
Smooth • Involuntary muscles such as those in your stomach that aid in digestion.
Cardiac • Found in your heart. • It is involuntary, and striated.
Contraction • Muscle cells can only contract, not extend , so skeletal muscles must work in pairs. • While one contracts the other muscle relaxes to its original length.
Exercise • Exercise makes muscle cells grow in size. As a result, the whole muscle becomes thicker, and therefore stronger.
Tendons • Tendons are strong connective tissue that connect muscle to bone.
