Muscular System
The muscular system allows humans to move. Muscles also provide strength, balance and heat.

What muscles cause the joints to straighten?
The right answer is Strain
That would depend on the joint. The knee joint is straightened with the quadricep muscle (thigh). And the elbow joint is straightened with the tricep muscle (back of the arm)
Ligaments
Perhaps extensor muscles. (ligaments function to hold joints together, they are not muscles.)
How are tendons associated with the muscular system?
It is the tough, fibrous tendons that actually attach the muscle to the bones of the skeleton. Generally, tendons attach to at least two different bones to create a lever for the muscles to act upon - the tendons at one end of the muscle belly being attached to one bone, and at the other end, the tendon/s attaches to the other bone. The fibrous tissue surrounding the muscle is all continuous with the tendon at each end.
Are skeletal muscles attached to a bone?
Muscles are not part of the skeletal system but rather the muscular. They connect onto bones by tendons which are part of the skeletal system.
the skeletal system includes:
- tendons
- ligaments
- cartilage
- bones
- teeth (not a type of bone)
What muscle is not part of the muscular system?
We can not answer your question as it is incomplete and doesn't have enough information.
Where is the buccinator muscle?
compresses the cheek; & helps keep food between grinding surfaces of teeth during chewing

i dont know i am the one asking the question
*rectus abdominis

*transversus abdominis
*aponeurosis of external oblique
What if the following most likely explains the burning he feels in his muscles?
Lactate is the most likely cause of the burning you feel in overworked muscles.
1. Trapezius (at the neck)
2. Deltoid (at the shoulder)
3. Triceps (back of the upper arm)
4. Biceps (front of the upper arm)
5. Latissimus Dorsi (back)
6. Gluteus Maximus (bum)
7. Hamstring (Back of the femur)
8. Quadriceps (Front of the femur)
9. Gastronemius (Calf muscle behind the tibia and fibula)
10. Abdominals (Stomach)
11. Pectorals (Chest)
12. Sternocleidonastoid (a neck muscle)
How well can the circulatory system supply oxygen to working muscles during excises?
oxygen is breathed into the lungs where 'gaseous exchange' takes place, this transfers the oxygen to the blood supply (circulatory system) which already contains various substances ie. food etc. Oxygen is taken via the blood capilary network to the muscle cells 'mitchocondria' where 'airobic resperation' takes place, this involves the food being broken down using the oxygen, releasing energy to the cells and producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
What conducts muscle impulses deep in the sacroplasm of a muscle to the cisternae?
I believe the T-Tubule
What statement best describes the human muscular system?
Well, Im not the best at science,But i think its,The tendon of a muscle pulls on a bone.
You are talking about the thenar prominence, containing the thenar muscles that control thumb movement. Muscles heal by regeneration, like any other tissue...but this should be closely managed by a specialist physician to prevent serious complications such as paralysis...do not attempt management at home!
What muscle in the body initiate abduction of the arm?
The main abductors of the arm are the supraspinatus and deltoids. Rotation can be internal or external. The main internal rotators are the subscapularis and teres major. The main external rotators are the infraspinatus and teres minor.
How can strength help prevent muscle injuries?
more muscle means less strains on said muscle, or at least less of a cencentration of strain. Having more muscle reduces joint pain and is all around great to have extra of.
What muscle is innervated by the femoral nerve?
- The branch to the Rectus femoris enters the upper part of the deep surface of the muscle, and supplies a filament to the hip-joint.
- The branch to the Vastus lateralis, of large size, accompanies the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery to the lower part of the muscle. It gives off an articular filament to the knee-joint.
- The branch to the Vastus medialis descends lateral to the femoral vessels in company with the saphenous nerve. It enters the muscle about its middle, and gives off a filament, which can usually be traced downward, on the surface of the muscle, to the knee-joint.
- The branches to the Vastus intermedius, two or three in number, enter the anterior surface of the muscle about the middle of the thigh; a filament from one of these descends through the muscle to the Articularis genu and the knee-joint. The articular branch to the hip-joint is derived from the nerve to the Rectus femoris.
- The articular branches to the knee-joint are three in number.
- One, a long slender filament, is derived from the nerve to the Vastus lateralis; it penetrates the capsule of the joint on its anterior aspect.
- Another, derived from the nerve to the Vastus medialis, can usually be traced downward on the surface of this muscle to near the joint; it then penetrates the muscular fibers, and accompanies the articular branch of the highest genicular artery, pierces the medial side of the articular capsule, and supplies the synovial membrane.
- The third branch is derived from the nerve to the Vastus intermedius.
What muscle compress and move downward when you inhale?
the diaphragm. It is right above the heart and lungs, and expands and contracts when you breathe in and out. You can almost feel it move down a little, when you release air.
What happens when you move your arms but the muscle doesn't move?
Basically, All the muscles in your entire body can move.
There's muscles that you can move on your own, and there's muscles that you can't.
Nevertheless, these muscles that you can't move, move by itself.
These muscles are called "The cardiac and smooth muscles.".
Muscles that you are able to move on your own are "Skeletal muscles.".
- Christofer Placencio, 01/31/13.
What are 4 muscles found in the body and where they located?
There really are only three kinds of muscles in the human body. They are the smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. The smooth muscles are the ones inside your internal organs like the stomach. The cardiac are the ones found in your heart. And, the skeletal ones are called voluntary because they are attached to your bones and make your body move.
What is the medical term meaning malignant tumor of striated or skeletal muscle?
rhabdomyoma - benign neoplasm rabdomyosarcoma - malignant neoplasm
Do you have more bones or more muscles how do you know?
We have about 200+ bones in our body, but each bone must be controlled by several muscles. And some muscles do not control bones, for example the facial muscles and the eye muscles. So there are more muscles than bones.
Is there muscles in your penis?
The human penis is composed of the glans penis, the corpus spongiosum with the bulb of the penis, and the paired corpora cavernosa in which skeletal muscle struc- tures and the continuing tunica albuginea completely sur- round and contain smooth muscle structures, which in- termingle with fibrous tissue to form the wall of the si- nusoids (Goldstein and Padma-Nathan, 1990; Hsu et al, 1992, 1994; Brock et al, 1997). The corpus spongiosum is partially entrapped by the skeletal muscle. These en- cased tissues finally pass through and are regulated by the surrounding structures. The penis gives the appearance of being an independent organ because of its skeletal muscle structures. They are the tissue that determine the penile shape as well as an essential part in the establishment of a rigid penis. The human penis mimics the structure of other parts of the human body where skeletal muscles and the skeleton encompass those visceral organs in which smooth mus- cles reside. It is a pendulous organ that is uniquely sus- pended from the front and strongly adheres to the pubic ramus and ischium via the tenacious periosteum. The or- gan leans on and is supported by a suspensory ligament that is an extension of the linea alba. An erect penis is analogous to an athletic diver without upper extremities who is standing on a springboard ready to dive. Thus, the glans penis corresponds to the head, and the penile shaft corresponds to the trunk of the body, with the penile crura corresponding to the legs. Whether the organ is healthy depends on its muscle integrity.
