The document discusses the three types of muscles in the body and their functions. It describes skeletal muscles which are voluntary and attached to bones, smooth muscles which are involuntary in hollow organs, and cardiac muscles which are involuntary in the heart. It then lists the distribution of skeletal muscles in different body regions.

Lesson 2

Muscles are the exert forces; thus, they are the major contributor to human movement. Muscles are
used to hold a position, to raise or lower a body part, to slow down a fast-moving segment, and to
generate great speed in the body or in an object that is propelled on the air. The muscles only have
the ability to pull and create a motion because it crosses a joint. The tension is developed by the
muscles applying to compression to the joints, enhancing their stability. In some joint positions,
however, the tension generated by the muscles can act to pull the segments apart and create
instability.
Three Types of Muscles in the Body
1. Skeletal muscles
- Voluntary muscles attached to the bones of skeletons
2. Smooth muscles
- Involuntary muscles, hollow organs like small intestines and blood vessels
3. Cardiac muscles
- Involuntary muscle, heart
