Muscular System
Three functions of muscles
1- produce motion
2- providing stabilization
3- generation of heat
Five muscular disorders are
Myoid- the resembling muscle
Myoma- tumor containing muscle tissue
Muscle- strain trauma to the muscle usually caused by a violent contraction
Myasthenia- is muscle weakness
Three types of muscles
There are three types of muscles. They are skeletal muscles which are voluntary,
(diaphragm, muscles of limbs, other muscles that are associated with movement ),
smooth muscles which are involuntary (tunica media of blood vessels, organs,
others associated with sustaining life), and cardiac muscle, which is
involuntary (only found in heart). Skeletal and cardiac muscles are also
striated and have striations while smooth does not. The skeletal is also
multinucleated while smooth and cardiac only has one nucleus per cell.
