Which system helps produce voluntary movement circulate blood and move food?
The various types of muscles which belong to the muscular system.
What is the name of the end of a muscle attached to the bone?
muscles connect to ligaments connect to bones!
Can you move your lower arm up and down?
Yes. lol If you have an elbow or your arm isn't broken you can move it!
Why are bones and muscles important?
To move a body part, you need two muscles- a flexor, which bends a part of your body, and an extensor, which extends a part of your body. If you need two muscles for every bone, you end up witha lot more muscles.
Which muscle is primary target in pull up?
Chin-ups, just as most exercises use a primary & secondary muscle group. The primary muscle group would be the back (or latissimus dorsi). This is what helps to give that "V" - shape in the torso area. (along with slimming down the torso area, of course) The secondary muscle group would be the biceps. Depending on your grip position, you can focus either more on your "lats", or arms.
Do most skeletal muscles work in antagonistic pairs?
Yes.
Skeletal muscles will have a flexor and an extensor.
The flexor bends the joint.
The extensor straightens it out again.
What muscle contracts to cause a hiccup?
A hiccup is the movement of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is in the thoracic cavity just under the lungs. This organ helps to squeeze the lungs when you exhale in order to get all the air out of the lungs. Holding your breath causes the diaphragm to move downward and stop this movement.

What energy is needed to move muscles?
- in fact no but do you do you know which is your biggest muscle it
is your butt really everyone thought that it was your heart but it isn't
its the butt.
Excitation begins as a motor neuron transmits an action potential to the neuromuscular junction where it gets propagated along the muscle cell. This action potential is an electrical impulse that depolarizes the muscle cell membrane, the sarcolemma, which then releases ions in the sacroplasmic reticulum and transverse tubules. When this happens calcium is released into the sarcomeres that contain actin and myosin myofilaments. The calcium unlocks the binding sites and creates crossbridges with the globular heads on the mysoin fibers. With ATP as the energy source, this crossbridging brings the Z-lines closed together and the muscle fiber contracts.
What organelle is found in large numbers in a skeletal muscle cell?
mitochondia is greater in number in skeletal muscle cells.
What is the role of acetylcholine in skeletal muscle contractions?
acetylcholine as far as i know is a neurotransmitter that ativates the mscle cells.
Latissimus dorsi
The muscular system allows our bones to do what?
Your brain sends impulses to nerves in your muscles when you desire to move. When the muscle contracts or relaxes, it puts on or releases tension of the ligaments connecting muscle to bone, causing motion.
What is tissue which connect muscle t bone?
Tendons connect muscles to bones. It is important not to confuse tendons with ligaments which connect two bones together.
