B. Interaction
THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
• It is composed of many muscles and bones. • It lets you move your body parts and go
from one place to another.
BONES MUSCLES
THE HUMAN SKELETON
• Humans have got an internal skeleton. It is made of 206 different bones. • Bones are rigid and
hard.
Functions of the skeleton:
• 1---It supports the body and helps to keep its shape.
• 2---It protects the body’s soft organs, like the brain, the lungs and the heart.
` •3--- Bones can move because they are connected to muscles. • 3---So movement is
another function of the skeleton.

Muscles are soft and elastic
There are more than 600 muscles all over the human body. Muscles are made of muscle cells.
These cells can contract and relax. Muscles contract and relax to make your body parts move.
When a muscle contracts it becomes shorter. When a muscle relaxes it becomes longer.

The muscular system
The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their
predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and
blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the
result of muscle contraction.
The muscular system contains more than 600muscles that work together to enable the full
functioning of the body.
1. Skeletal muscle
Skeletal muscles are the only muscles that can be consciously controlled. They are attached to
bones, and contracting the muscles causes movement of those bones.
Any action that a person consciously undertakes involves the use of skeletal muscles. Examples of
such activities include running, chewing, and writing.
2. Smooth muscle
Smooth muscle lines the inside of blood vessels and organs, such as the stomach, and is also
known as visceral muscle.
It is the weakest type of muscle but has an essential role in moving food along the digestive tract
and maintaining blood circulation through the blood vessels.
Smooth muscle acts involuntarily and cannot be consciously controlled.
3. Cardiac muscle
Located only in the heart, cardiac muscle pumps blood around the body. Cardiac muscle
stimulates its own contractions that form our heartbeat. Signals from the nervous system control
the rate of contraction. This type of muscle is strong and acts involuntarily.
1. Mobility
The muscular system’s main function is to allow movement. When muscles contract, they
contribute to gross and fine movement.
Gross movement refers to large, coordinated motions and includes:
Example: walking, running, and swimming
The smaller skeletal muscles are usually responsible for this type of action.
Most muscle movement of the body is under conscious control. However, some movements are
reflexive, such as withdrawing a hand from a source of heat.

2. Stability
Muscle tendons stretch over joints and contribute to joint stability. Muscle tendons in the knee
joint and the shoulder joint are crucial in stabilization.
The core muscles are those in the abdomen, back, and pelvis, and they also stabilize the body and
assist in tasks, such as lifting weights.
3. Posture
Skeletal muscles help keep the body in the correct position when someone is sitting or standing.
This is known as posture.
Good posture relies on strong, flexible muscles. Stiff, weak, or tight muscles contribute to poor
posture and misalignment of the body.
Long-term, bad posture leads to joint and muscle pain in the shoulders, back, neck, and elsewhere.
4. Circulation
The heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout the body. The movement of the heart is outside
of conscious control, and it contracts automatically when stimulated by electrical signals.
Smooth muscle in the arteries and veins plays a further role in the circulation of blood around the
body. These muscles maintain blood pressure and circulation in the event of blood loss or
dehydration.
They expand to increase blood flow during times of intense exercise when the body requires more
oxygen.
5. Respiration
Breathing involves the use of the diaphragm muscle.
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs. When the diaphragm contracts,
it pushes downward, causing the chest cavity to get bigger. The lungs then fill with air. When the
diaphragm muscle relaxes, it pushes air out of the lungs.
When someone wants to breath more deeply, it requires help from other muscles, including those
in the abdomen, back, and neck.
6. Digestion
The muscular system allows for movement within the body, for example, during digestion or
urination.
Smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal or GI tract control digestion. The GI tract stretches from
the mouth to the anus.
Food moves through the digestive system with a wave-like motion called peristalsis. Muscles in
the walls of the hollow organs contract and relax to cause this movement, which pushes food
through the esophagus into the stomach.
4
The upper muscle in the stomach relaxes to allow food to enter, while the lower muscles mix food
particles with stomach acid and enzymes.
7. Urination
The urinary system comprises both smooth and skeletal muscles, including those in the:
Urinary problems, such as poor bladder control or retention of urine, are caused by damage to the
nerves that carry signals to the muscles.
8. Childbirth
Smooth muscles in the uterus expand and contract during childbirth. These movements push the
baby through the vagina. Also, the pelvic floor muscles help to guide the baby’s head down the
birth canal.
9. Vision
Six skeletal muscles around the eye control its movements. These muscles work quickly and
precisely, and allow the eye to:
Muscles also protect the bones and organs by absorbing shock and reducing friction in the joints.
When body heat falls below optimal levels, the skeletal muscles increase their activity to make
heat. Shivering is one example of this mechanism. Muscles in the blood vessels also contract to
maintain body heat.
Body temperature can be brought back within normal range through the relaxation of smooth
muscle in the blood vessels. This action increases blood flow and releases excess heat through the
skin.

Integration
In this lesson presented you learnt about our bodies consist that consist of a number of biological
systems that carry out specific functions necessary for everyday living. The job of the circulatory
system is to move blood, nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hormones, around the body. It
consists of the heart, blood, blood vessels, arteries and veins.
Now for this phase, I provided learning activities that caters your understanding
about the lesson.
