MUSCULAR SYSTEM

The muscular system is made up of tissues that work with the skeletal system to control movement of the body. Some muscles—like the ones in your arms and legs—are voluntary, meaning that you decide when to move them. Other muscles, like the ones in your stomach, heart, intestines and other organs, are involuntary.

Functions of skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle has four major functions, these are:

  • Mobility
  • Posture
  • Stability
  • Respiration
  • Circulation
  • Digestion
  • Urination
  • Vision
  • Child birth
  • Organ protection
  • Temperature regulator
