Muscular System

Skeletal muscles are striated which look "striped". The best example of striated muscles is in your thighs.

By comparison, your heart is smooth muscle.

There are a few muscles groups that are used. First your arms because you have to be able to hold up your weight. the second is your abs because you have to stay tight to keep yourself in a handstand throughout the cartwheel. And finally, you use your legs to push off and land out of a certwheel. :)

trapezius

ligaments are a part of the skeletal system

marked with striae; furrowed; striped; streaked.

There are more than 639 different muscles in your body. However, the exact number is unsure because of the constitutes that distinct a muscle. Almost half, 40%, of the body is all muscle. There are 3 different types of muscle; skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.

The eye would be unable to keep a moving object focused on the fovea centralis of the eye.

Muscles contracting for a long period of time

Because cerebral cortex has too many work already. If we have to think about contolling the hair may be we can be only the porcupine instead of two legs mongky. ^^

Your Hamstream and your Guadriceps.

they rotate the ribs and pelvis, they help you breathe and they flex your trunk forward

Muscles are important because they make your body move. Without muscles you would be unable to get out of bed in the morning and do anything. Sometimes people say that someone has "muscles" and they really mean that they have big muscles. So being muscular, with lots of muscles, somehow makes that person more appealing. In that sense, those people with bigger muscles really do not have any more muscles. They just have bigger ones.

* Skeletal muscle or "voluntary muscle" is anchored by tendons to bone and is used to effect skeletal movement such as locomotion and in maintaining posture. Though this postural control is generally maintained as a subconscious reflex, the muscles responsible react to conscious control like non-postural muscles. An average adult male is made up of 40-50% of skeletal muscle and an average adult female is made up of 30-40% (as a percentage of body mass).[citation needed] source is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles

During a period of relaxed and average respiration, the muscles associated with inspiration, or the process of inhaling, include the muscles of the diaphragm, the external intercostal muscles, and the interchondral region of the internal intercostal muscles.

The triceps muscle is the primary muscle used in a cable extension.

It depends. But, the triceps are 2/3 of your upper arm.

The trapezius is a large superficial muscle that extends longitudinally from the occipital bone to the lower thoracic vertebrae and laterally to the spine of the scapula (shoulder blade).

There are three main muscles of the posterior compartment of the thigh. They are the biceps femoris, the semitendinosus and the semimembranosus.

The biceps femoris runs down the outside of the leg and inserts on the head of the fibula, the semitendinosus runs down the inside of the leg and inserts on the front of the tibia and the semimembranosus runs down the inside of the leg underneath the semitendinosus and inserts on the front of the tibia as well.

Together, they cause flexion of the knee and extension of the hip.

The three muscles that make up the posterior thigh muscles are:

your brain.... i think its that dont get mad if its not!

It is one of six extraocular muscles that controsl the movements of the eye

When a greater number of motor units are present in a muscle and are able to be simultaneously stimulated causing an increase in muscle force (Sherwood, and Kell 271-272).

The two major muscles of the upper arm are the biceps on the front and the triceps on the back.

In order to contract and allow us to move, muscles need to break down the enzyme ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) to create energy. In order to replenish the ATP once it has been used, muscles require large amounts of oxygen and the way that oxygen is delivered to the muscles is through the blood supply. Therefore, without blood, the muscles would have no oxygen, would not be able to produce ATP and therefore would not be able to function.
