MT: Muscular System
I will understand the function of the
muscular system.
Fxn of Skeletal Muscle:
Movement Heat Production
Posture
Movement
attached to bone contracts thus producing movement
Ex: walking, talking, chewing, blinking
Heat Production
Reactions during muscle contraction produce heat
Heat contributes to constant body temperature (homeostasis of temperature)
Why do we shiver when we're cold?
Shivering is a result of muscle contraction. This produces heat thus increasing your body temperature.
Posture
Continuous partial contraction of skeletal muscles
Allows standing, sitting, and maintaining a stable body position while walking, running, and all other movements.
Fxn of Cardiac Muscle:
Pump blood
Pumping Blood
Cardiac muscle cells contract to provide all cells with blood
Blood has all of the nutrients that cells need to be healthy
Fxn of Smooth Muscle:
transport nutrients &
waste
Transport Nutrients/Waste
Smooth muscles line the inside of hollow organs and blood vessels
Ex: swallowing, digesting food in intestines, defecating, erection
