The muscular system has three parts. They are broken up into three categories skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. The skeletal muscle is a voluntary muscle, the cardiac muscle is an involuntary muscle and so is the smooth muscle. The voluntary muscle is a muscle you have to think about to make it happen like walking. You don't have to walk but you do. An involuntary muscle is like blinking, it happens without you telling it to. These muscles work to keep you healthy.

The muscular system is one of the most important parts of your body. These muscle groups all work together as a unit. Without all of them working together they would not work.

Skeletal muscles are the muscles that hold your bones together and they would also let you move the wheelbarrow. They are what’s called voluntary muscles. They are the only type of muscles that are voluntary, which means you can control them whenever you wish.(arms, legs etc.) You have these muscles in various places in your body, the most useful are in your arms, legs and back. Some of the biggest ones are the gluteus maximus, which is your 🤬, the bicep (top) and tricep (bottom) in your arm, and the quadricep in your leg. 

But you wouldn’t even be alive if you didn’t have cardiac muscle. Your cardiac are all the muscles in your heart and blood vessels because all the other types of muscles need oxygen and sugar which this provides. It is involuntary which means you can’t stop them if you tried. Also involuntary is smooth muscle. Probably the most well known of these is in your intestines. The muscles in your intestines help to move the food along by flexing and relaxing in a special way synchronized with the others.

Now you want to take care of all these muscles. These will help you live your life happier if they are in good condition. So here are a few of the best ways to keep them as healthy as possible. They are going to the gym and exercising as much as you can. When this happens your muscles tear, which sounds bad but is really okay, because when they do they build back faster and stronger. Sometimes the reconstruction can happen overnight. Another way for your internal system is to eat healthy foods. With every meal you should have some fruit and vegetables, lots of water and protein. YOu don’t need too much protein. The muscles feed off these things. If you don’t have enough or too much  (even though you are taking care of your physical muscles) they will not have enough fuel (aka the food that you eat) or oxygen and not having that could lead to cramping. 

So now you know the muscular system. The different types and how to take care of them. I hope you have a fine time pushing a bunch of wheelbarrows in the backyard.

There‌ ‌are‌ ‌over‌ ‌600‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌in‌ ‌your‌ ‌body.‌ ‌There‌ ‌are‌ ‌three‌ ‌types:‌ ‌smooth,‌ ‌cardiac,‌ ‌and‌ ‌

skeletal.‌ ‌Muscles‌ ‌are‌ ‌made‌ ‌of‌ ‌bundles‌ ‌of‌ ‌fiber‌ ‌like‌ ‌rubber‌ ‌bands.‌ ‌The‌ ‌muscular‌ ‌system‌ ‌helps‌ ‌

you‌ ‌move.‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌be‌ ‌teaching‌ ‌you‌ ‌about‌ ‌those‌ ‌three‌ ‌types‌ ‌today.‌ ‌Here‌ ‌they‌ ‌are:‌ ‌

First‌ ‌up,‌ ‌are‌ ‌smooth‌ ‌muscles.‌ ‌Smooth‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌are‌ ‌involuntary‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌which‌ ‌means‌ ‌

you‌ ‌aren't‌ ‌aware‌ ‌that‌ ‌you‌ ‌control‌ ‌them.‌ ‌Smooth‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌do‌ ‌things‌ ‌like‌ ‌help‌ ‌food‌ ‌move‌ ‌through‌ ‌

the‌ ‌digestive‌ ‌system.‌ ‌They‌ ‌help‌ ‌keep‌ ‌your‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌focused‌ ‌so‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌see‌ ‌better.‌ ‌They‌ ‌also‌ ‌help‌ ‌

with‌ ‌breathing.‌ ‌They‌ ‌help‌ ‌you‌ ‌hold‌ ‌and‌ ‌release‌ ‌pee.‌ ‌

Now‌ ‌we‌ ‌learn‌ ‌about‌ ‌cardiac‌ ‌muscles,‌ ‌also‌ ‌known‌ ‌as‌ ‌the‌ ‌myocardium.‌ ‌The‌ ‌cardiac‌ ‌

muscles‌ ‌pump‌ ‌blood‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌heart‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌lungs‌ ‌and‌ ‌body.‌ ‌They‌ ‌are‌ ‌also‌ ‌involuntary‌ ‌muscles.‌ ‌It‌ ‌

moves‌ ‌in‌ ‌response‌ ‌to‌ ‌electrical‌ ‌signals.‌ ‌ ‌

Skeletal‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌are‌ ‌voluntary‌ ‌which‌ ‌mean‌ ‌you‌ ‌control‌ ‌them.‌ ‌Skeletal‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌give‌ ‌your‌ ‌

body‌ ‌power‌ ‌and‌ ‌strength.Tendons‌ ‌attach‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌to‌ ‌bones.‌ ‌Skeletal‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌also‌ ‌make‌ ‌up‌ ‌

40%‌ ‌of‌ ‌your‌ ‌body‌ ‌weight.‌ ‌The‌ ‌brain‌ ‌signals‌ ‌travel‌ ‌down‌ ‌the‌ ‌nerves‌ ‌to‌ ‌tell‌ ‌the‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌to‌ ‌

contract‌ ‌and‌ ‌expand.‌ ‌These‌ ‌are‌ ‌what‌ ‌people‌ ‌think‌ ‌of‌ ‌when‌ ‌someone‌ ‌says‌ ‌muscles.‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌how‌ ‌

we‌ ‌move‌ ‌our‌ ‌body.‌ ‌ ‌

Now‌ ‌you‌ ‌know‌ ‌about‌ ‌the‌ ‌three‌ ‌types‌ ‌of‌ ‌muscles.‌ ‌If‌ ‌you‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌keep‌ ‌it‌ ‌healthy,‌ ‌exercise‌ ‌

and‌ ‌keep‌ ‌a‌ ‌good‌ ‌diet‌ ‌with‌ ‌lots‌ ‌of‌ ‌protein.‌ ‌When‌ ‌it's‌ ‌not‌ ‌working‌ ‌properly,‌ ‌muscles‌ ‌can‌ ‌cramp‌ ‌

and‌ ‌twitch‌ ‌and‌ ‌become‌ ‌weak‌ ‌and‌ ‌tiny.‌ ‌If‌ ‌you‌ ‌dig‌ ‌deeper‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌muscular‌ ‌system,‌ ‌you'll‌ ‌see‌ ‌

that‌ ‌they‌ ‌are‌ ‌super‌ ‌interesting.‌ ‌ ‌
