Skeletal, Smooth, Cardiac Muscles are the three main types. 
-Skeletal muscles are attached to our bones. These muscles are used for movement.
-Smooth Muscles operate on their own without instruction. They can be found throughout your body such as your stomach, blood vessels, digestive systems, and eyes. 
-Cardiac Muscles are found in your heart. This muscle operates independently. These muscles help our heart beat 

Fun Fact: Scientist say that about 40% of our bodies are made of muscle ]]> 2017-02-15 02:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bpearso2/1br7p0wfrxz6/wish/153910702 Skeletal bpearso2 https://padlet.com/bpearso2/1br7p0wfrxz6/wish/153910734 Major Function: bones provide our bodies with strengh and form

Major Function: nervous tell the rest of our body what to do
There are different parts that work together to help the brain function. Try saying these words:
  1. cerebrum (say: suh-REE-brum)
  2. cerebellum (say: sair-uh-BELL-um)
  3. brain stem
  4. pituitary (say: puh-TOO-uh-ter-ee) gland
  5. hypothalamus (say: hy-po-THAL-uh-mus)
Fun Fact: your brain is the boss of your body!
Your brain needs help telling your body what to do so it relies on your nerves to help. Your body needs the spinal cord, which is a long bundle of nerves that is inside your spnal column.
