Types of muscles • Smooth- involuntary • Skeletal- voluntary • Cardiac- involuntary
Smooth muscles • Involuntary • Lines digestive system • Lines blood vessels • Contracts bladder • Movements involve many muscles at a time
Skeletal muscles • Under voluntary control • Moves arms, legs, head • Allows us to change body position • Produces most of body heat
Cardiac muscles • Found only in heart • Striated like skeletal muscle • Involuntary • Pushes blood out of the heart
Muscle terms • Flexion- Movement that reduces a joint angle. • Extension- A movement that increases a joint angle.
Muscle pairs • Your muscles work in teams to move your body. An example of this is your Bicep and Tricep.
