1. Muscles hold the body erect
2. Makes movement possible
3. Moves food through digestive system
4. Muscle movement aids the flow of blood through veins
5. Muscle actions moves fluids through the ducts and tubes associated with other body systems

Pathology. a sudden, abnormal, involuntary muscular contraction, consisting of a continued muscular contraction (tonic spasm) or of a series of alternating muscular contractions and relaxations (clonic spasm)

# data[].attributes.body
medical term for what happens to a body after death — its muscles and joints become very stiff. Every single muscle in the body is affected by rigor mortis. ... In Latin, rigor mortis literally means "the stiffness of death."

# data[].attributes.body
the ability to do things without occupying the mind with the low-level details required, allowing it to become an automatic response pattern or habit. ... Examples of tasks carried out by 'Muscle memory' often involve some degree of automaticity.

Excitability means that muscle responds to stimulation by nerves and hormones, making it possible for the nervous system and, in some muscle types, the endocrine system, to regulate muscle activity.

# data[].attributes.body
Elasticity means that if muscles are stretched, they can recoil to their original resting length.

# data[].attributes.body
Extensibility means that muscles can be stretched to their normal resting length and beyond to a limited degree

# data[].attributes.body
Contractility refers to the capacity of muscle to contract or shorten forcefully. Excitability means that muscle responds to stimulation by nerves and hormones, making it possible for the nervous system and, in some muscle types, the endocrine system, to regulate muscle activity.

Calcium is the most common mineral found in the body and is required for the formation of bones and for bodily functions like muscle contractions and blood clotting.

# data[].attributes.body
A protein found in muscle tissue as a thick filament made up of an aggregate of similar proteins. Myosin and the protein actin form the contractile units (sarcomeres) of skeletal muscle. In the sarcomere, actin and myosin filaments slide past each other to cause the shortening of a muscle fiber

# data[].attributes.body
A protein found in all Eukayrotic cells, forming filaments that make up a main component of the cell's supporting matrix or cytoskeleton. Actin and the protein myosin together make up the contractile units (called sarcomeres) of skeletal muscle fibers

# data[].attributes.body
According to the sliding filament theory, the myosin (thick)filaments of muscle fibers slide past the actin (thin)filaments during muscle contraction, while the two groups of filaments remain at relatively constant length.

It is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the 'voluntary' control of the somatic nervous system. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons.

# data[].attributes.body
Cardiac muscle tissue, like skeletal muscle tissue, looks striated or striped. The bundles are branched, like a tree, but connected at both ends. (It is involuntary)

# data[].attributes.body
Smooth muscle = nonstriated, involuntary, shaped like almonds (tapered ends), one nucleus per cell.

# data[].attributes.body
A condition that is due usually to low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and is characterized by spasms of the hands and feet, cramps, spasm of the voice box (larynx), and overactive neurological reflexes.

# data[].attributes.body
an acute infectious bacterial disease characterized by tonic spasm of voluntary muscles especially of the jaw and caused by an exotoxin of a clostridium (Clostridium tetani) which is usually introduced through a wound

# data[].attributes.body
In the tonic phase the body becomes entire rigid, and in the clonic phase there is uncontrolled jerking. Tonic-clonic seizures may or may not be preceded by an aura, and are often followed by headache, confusion, and sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
:an involuntary and abnormal contraction of muscle or muscle fibers or of a hollow organ (as an artery, the colon, or the esophagus) that consists largely of involuntary muscle fibers.

# data[].attributes.body
Muscle fatigue is the decline in ability of a muscle to generate force. It can be a result of vigorous exercise but abnormal fatigue may be caused by barriers to or interference with the different stages of muscle contraction

# data[].attributes.body
a long, thin board that covers the area where a wall joins a roof. medical : a sheet of tissue that covers or connects parts inside the body (such as muscles)

# data[].attributes.body
a tough cord or band of dense white fibrous connective tissue that unites a muscle with some other part (such as a bone) and transmits the force which the muscle exerts.
