Interesting FactsInteresting Facts Muscle cells cannot partially contract.
They act on the ‘all or none’ principle. They either contract 100% or do not contract at all.
You cannot turn fat into muscle by exercising.
You cannot ‘spot reduce’ i.e. you cannot get rid of your spare tire by doing sit-ups.

When you are cold, your muscles produce rapid contractions to generate body heat (shivering).
A cramp is a painful muscle contraction.

Tetanus is a very severe type of contraction. It is a persistent contraction that can be caused by a bacterial infection. Sometimes you get a ‘tetanus shot’ to prevent this. Tetanus can cause lockjaw.
A spasm is rapid involuntary contraction of a muscle. You may have had one in your eye before - tick.

MovementMovement You are always moving. Even when
you are sleeping, your muscles are working. Movement only stops when life stops.
Movement within cells is caused by chemical reactions. All other body movements are caused by muscles.
![Page 7: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
You have more than 650 muscles.
Muscles make up 40% of your body mass.
Muscles work by contracting. When a muscle contracts it shortens. Without your muscles, your bones could not move. When a muscle contracts it pulls on a bone, producing movement. Muscles can only pull bone; they cannot push bones.

Types of MusclesTypes of Muscles Not all our muscles are used for
locomotion. Some allow us to wink, swallow etc. There are three main types of muscles. At the cellular level they all have the same function – to contract. When we move beyond the cellular level we see differences in their functions:
![Page 11: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Type 1: Skeletal Type 1: Skeletal MuscleMuscle Muscles that move your arms and legs These are the ones that you control –
they move when you want them to They are attached to bone Often called voluntary muscles Under a microscope they look striped or
striated so they are called striated muscles
![Page 14: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Type 2: Smooth Type 2: Smooth MuscleMuscle Often called involuntary muscles
because you cannot control them
These muscles form the wall of most of the digestive tract; they are also found in blood vessels and other internal organs
Under a microscope they look smooth
![Page 15: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Type 3: Cardiac Type 3: Cardiac MuscleMuscle This is the heart muscle
Under a microscope, cardiac muscle appears striated like voluntary muscles BUT cardiac muscle is involuntary – you have no control over your cardiac muscle

Muscle Muscle AttachmentAttachment For one bone to move toward another
bone, a muscle is needed. This muscle will have 2 points of attachment
1. Origin: The place at which a muscle is attached to the stationary (not moving) bone
2. Insertion: The place at which a muscle is attached to the movable bone
![Page 19: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Muscles are attached to bones by tendons.
Tendons are tough, inelastic bands of connective tissue – they are very strong
A tendon is the thickness of a pencil and can support a load of several thousand kilos
![Page 21: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
As the tendons are small, they can pass in groups over a joint or attach to very small areas for the muscle itself to find room for attachment
Although they are very tough, they are subject to wear and tear as they rub across bone surface
![Page 23: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Tendons may become inflamed (tendonitis) when athletes work out in cold weather without adequate warm clothing, or without doing warm ups
![Page 25: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Antagonistic Muscle Antagonistic Muscle PairsPairs Many muscles act in pairs This is necessary since a muscle can
only pull by contracting When a bone moves, movement in
the opposite direction can occur only if there is another muscle that can pull the bone in that direction
These muscles are called antagonistic pairs
![Page 26: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

ExerciseExercise There are two types of exercise:
Type 1: Isotonic ExerciseResults in movementEx) running, lifting weights etc
![Page 28: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Type 2: Isometric Exercise
Muscles are pitted against each other This is exercise that does NOT result
in movement Ex) Pushing a wall; hooking fingers
together and trying to pull hands apart Such exercises have been shown to
increase strength and muscle size rapidly
![Page 29: The Muscular System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c36550346895dca1df5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

side of the trunk or midline of the body Ex) raising arms to the side; swinging leg to the side
2. Adduction: movement toward the trunk or midline (opposite of abduction)
