  • The muscular system's main function is to allow movement. 
  • Stability; Muscle tendons stretch over joints and contribute to joint stability.
  • Posture;  Maintains back shape and posture.
  • Circulation; Provides oxygen
  • Respiration; Oxygen goes in and out.

It can be associated with a state of exhaustion, often following strenuous activity or exercise. When you experience fatigue, the force behind your muscles' movements decrease, causing you to feel weaker.]]> 2021-10-19 19:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1828266362 Spasm k1830786 https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1828275291 An involuntary and abnormal muscular contraction; sudden violent and temporary effort, emotion, or sensation a spasm of creativity spasms of pain.

Tonic seizures cause a stiffening of muscles.

When the bacteria invade the body, they produce a poison (toxin) that causes painful muscle contractions. Another name for tetanus is “lockjaw”. It often causes a person's neck and jaw muscles to lock, making it hard to open the mouth or swallow.]]> 2021-10-19 19:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1828285954 Tetany k1830786 https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1828293912 A condition of physiological calcium imbalance marked by tonic spasm of muscles and often associated with deficient parathyroid secretion.]]> 2021-10-19 19:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1828293912 Smooth Muscle k1830786 https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1828933143 Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle, so-called because it has no sarcomeres and therefore no striations. It is divided into two subgroups, single-unit and multiunit smooth muscle.

It's attached to the bone and forms a distinct organ of muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves that covers our bones and allows movement.]]> 2021-10-20 01:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1828985499 Sliding Filament Theory of Muscle k1830786 https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1828990747 The sliding filament theory explains the mechanism of muscle contraction based on muscle proteins that slide past each other to generate movement. The sliding filament theory is a widely accepted explanation of the mechanism that underlies muscle contraction.

Contractility allows muscle tissue to pull on its attachment points and shorten with force. Muscles can only pull, never push. Excitability is the ability to respond to a stimulus, which may be delivered from a motor neuron or a hormone.]]> 2021-10-20 01:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1829007629 Extensibility of Muscles k1830786 https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1829012332 Extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched. For instance, let's reconsider our elbow flexing motion we discussed earlier. In order to be able to flex the elbow, the elbow extensor muscles must extend in order to allow flexion to occur. Lack of extensibility is known as spasticity.]]> 2021-10-20 01:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1829012332 Elasticity of Muscles k1830786 https://padlet.com/k1830786/6hszfsvc1zwsc8rb/wish/1829015622 Tissue elasticity is the ability to stretch a muscle to reach its full range of movement without restriction.
