How does a muscle work? Remember, muscles can only contract so they can only pull, not push. And it needs certain parts to do this.
Chapter 2 Structure of Muscle Tissue & Muscle Contraction.

Muscles and Skeleton Muscles work by contracting (active movement) and lengthening (passive). Three types in mammals: 1.Skeletal muscle – used to move.
Muscular Control of Movement. Review of Anatomy Types of Muscles –Smooth: blood vessels and organs –Cardiac: heart –Skeletal: muscles for movement.
Skeletal Muscle Unit Chapter 10-11. Functions of skeletal muscles Produce skeletal movement Maintain posture and body position Support soft tissues.
Ch. 11 pg 290. The movement in humans involves bones, ligaments, muscles, tendons and nerves.

Muscles &Muscle Tissue Chapter 10. Functions of Skeletal Muscles 1.Produce skeletal movement 2.Maintain body position 3.Support soft tissues 4.Guard body.
Skeletal Skeletal – striated, multinucleate, voluntary, 10-100 m Smooth Smooth - found in walls of hollow visceral organs; ex. stomach, bladder, respiratory.
