Excitability is the ability to respond to a stimulus.

Muscle-tendon elasticity complex is the natural ability of your musculoskeletal system to 'return to its original state.

Extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched.

Contractility is the ability of muscle cells to forcefully shorten.

Calcium's positive molecule is important to the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle fiber. Calcium also affects muscles by regulating contractions.

Myosin regulates the muscle cell contractions that facilitate the movement of the muscles

Skeletal muscles (commonly called Muscles) are organs of the vertebrate muscular system that are mostly attached by tendons to bones of the skeleton. They are non-striated and voluntary.

# data[].attributes.body
The process that causes the muscles in the body to stiffen resulting in rigidity due to a range of chemical changes in the muscle structure after death.

# data[].attributes.body
A protein that forms (together with myosin) the contractile filaments of muscle cells, and is also involved in motion in other types of cell.

# data[].attributes.body
The sliding filament model describes the process used by muscles to contract. It is a cycle of repetitive events that causes actin and myosin myofilaments to slide over each other, contracting the sarcomere and generating tension in the muscle.

Cardiac Muscle is involuntary, striated muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the wall of the heart.

# data[].attributes.body
Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles that control internal processes and organs. They appear striated or have a stripe like pattern.

# data[].attributes.body
A condition marked by intermittent muscular spasms, caused by malfunction of the parathyroid glands and a consequent deficiency of calcium.

# data[].attributes.body
Tetanus is an infection caused by bacteria called Clostridium tetani. When the bacteria invade the body, they produce a poison (toxin) that causes painful muscle contractions.

# data[].attributes.body
Clonic spasms refer to alternating involuntary muscular contraction and relaxation in quick succession. Tonic spasms are rigid muscle contractions that last a period of time.

# data[].attributes.body
An involuntary contraction of a muscle.

Muscle fatigue is the decline in your muscles' ability to perform over time.

5 basic functions of the muscular system

1. To maintain posture and body position.
2. To allow the body to move in conjuncture with the skeletal system
3. Support soft tissue.
4. Blood circulation
5. To maintain body heat via spasms or shivers
