the human body the muscular system
1: According to the first paragraph of the text. How many mussels do you have in your body?
Your body has over 600 muscles inside it.
2:Describe how your muscles are connected within your body and explain what they are made of.
Our muscles are connected with tendencies which are like stretchy rubber bands. Your muscles are made of fibers,long cells made into bundles. Bigger mussels have more bundles, while smaller mussels have less fiber bundles nerve cells also found in the fiber bundles, carry messages back and forth to your brain about your body's movements. Blood vessels are woven throughout your mussels and help give your mussels the energy that they need to keep messaging.
3:explain how mussels move.
Mussels work by expanding or stretching out and contracting , or shrinking when expanding or relaxing , the fibers slide together . thay form a fat sack shape. Every muscle works in a pair with a partner.when one muscle contracts the other will relax.
4:explain the difference between involuntary muscles and voluntary muscles.
Smooth and cardiac muscles are sometimes called inventory muscles because your body keeps them moving and fucting without having to tell it to.. For exampleing, these muscles control your breathing and heart beating. Skeletal muscles are often called voluntary muscles because you have to tell them what to do. For example, these muscles allow you to run and jump.
5:list and describe 3 different mussels.
Skeletal muscles -allow your body to move and give you power and strength. Skeletal muscles cover all over your body and help you control your movements.
Smooth muscles are layered muscles that are totally controlled by your brain. They control organs in your body like your lungs
Cardiac muscles are in your heart and work to help pump blood around your body.
