The human body has three types of muscles. There are more than 600 major muscles and have 240 specific names of them. The first type is called skeletal muscles. They vary in size because each muscle has various type of job. Skeletal muscles, which have the hard job, are large and strong such as the muscles of the thigh. In the opposite way, skeletal muscles which have the little job, are small and weakly such as eye muscles. Skeletal muscles are the part of many organs such as the chest, arms, legs and abdomen so they give the shape of the body and make the body move. In addition, they also help hold the bones of the skeleton together. The second type of muscles is called smooth muscles. They are found in the walls of the internal organs such as blood vessels and stomach. Smooth muscles are not under control by the brain. They are stimulated and operate automatically by the autonomic nervous system and by body chemicals. The autonomic nervous system enables the body to maintain a stable internal environment. This system has two parts. The one is the sympathetic system which speed up all bodily processes. The other is the parasympathetic system which slow down bodily processes and make the body relax. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic are controlled by hypothalamus. The third type of muscles is called cardiac muscle which is found in the wall of the heart only. Cardiac muscle help the heart push blood out and into the arteries. It is operate automatically without orders from the brain. Cardiac muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The muscles have many ability which are different other tissue. They have irritability, contractility, extensibility and elasticity. These ability make every organ work completely. I think the muscles are excellent.
