What system relates to the muscular system and why?

The whole point of having systems in the human body is to create interconnectivity. There is no one system that 'relates' to the muscular system; they all do. The vascular system provides nutrients to supply the muscles with glucose for respiration and to transport hormones that may cause some smooth muscles to contract or relax. The endocrine system provides the hormones that may change the behaviour of the muscles of the body in a particular region. The nervous system connects the muscle to the central nervous system, which allows us to react quickly to stimuli. The respiratory system provides the oxygen for aerobic respiration in the muscles. So, as you can see, there is no single system that is connected to the muscular system.

What are the common names of the muscles that move the ankle?

Extension ofthe ankle, or more accurately plantarflexion is achieved by a comination of muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg. The Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Plantaris, Flexor Hallucis Longus, Flexor Digitorum Longus and Tibialis Posterior all help to plantarflex.

Why is the heart muscle tissue detrimental?

Heart disease or coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the arteries which supply the heart with oxygen become hardened. This is also known as the process of atherosclerosis. This can eventually result in complete blockage of a coronary artery and result in a heart attack. Heart disease is the Western world`s biggest killer today by far. However, the good news is that 90% of all heart disease is entirely preventable (and even reversible in some cases) through diet and lifestyle changes, making all those drugs used to lower cholesterol and high blood pressure unnecessary.

There are often no symptoms experienced by people with heart disease. For this reason risk markers are used to assess the likelihood of developing the disease.

Why do I have muscle spasms on left sid of the back of my head?

These are generally called 'ticks' and caused by nerve endings. Generally when the muscle area in the neck is stressed this can cause ticks on the side of the head or even eye problems (eye strain) can cause this. Rub your shoulders with A535 and it should go away. If it continues see an eye specialist.

This muscle makes breathing possible?

The main muscle used is the diaphragm. Also, the intercostal muscle.

What are the muscles that control inhaling and exhaling?

The muscle that control Inhating and Exhaling do so by changing the volume of the thoracic cavity which is where the Lungs are. During passive respiration there is only one muscle involved, the Thoracic Diaphragn (more commonly reffered to the diaphragm) which is a sheet muscle that covers most of the bottom of the thorax by attaching around the bottom of the ribs. When relaxed the diaphragm us curved upwards into the throax and when contracted it pulls down to a flatter shape sucking air in. The only force drivingthe air out again during expiration is the elasticity of the lungs themselves which shrink the lung volume pushing air out. During Forced Respiration the intercostals muscles also take part. These are the muscles between the ribs and and change thoracic volume by either lifting or depressing the Rib Cage. There are three layers of intercostal muscles; the External Intercostals which elevate the rib cage up and out drawing in; the Internal Intercostals wich depress the rib cage down and in pushing air out; and the Innermost Intercostals which assist the internal intercostals.
