LessonLesson 33How can you keep your muscles flexible and strong?
The Muscular System
Proper warm-up and stretching before and cool-down after any physical activity keeps your muscles flexible and strong.
LessonLesson 33
• Describe the functions of the muscular system
• Examine the different types of muscles in the body and the effects of health behaviors on the muscular system
• List problems of the muscular system
In this lesson, you will learn to:
Lesson Objectives
LessonLesson 33Functions of the Muscular
System
Voluntary and Involuntary Muscles
• When you sleep, muscles help you breathe, make your heart beat, and move food through your digestive system.
• These involuntary processes happen without your consciously controlling them.
• When you play the piano or a video game, you are usingmuscles that are under conscious, or voluntary, control.
• Without the use of both voluntary and involuntary muscles,you would be unable to perform any of these activities.
LessonLesson 33Nerve Impulses and Muscle Fibers
• A muscle is made up of hundreds of long cells called fibers.
• Muscles work by means of two complementary, or opposing, actions—contraction and extension.
• Muscle contraction is triggered by nerve impulses.
• Some nerves provide impulses for many muscle fibers.
• In other areas, a single nerve may provide impulses to onlytwo or three muscle fibers.
Structure of the Muscular System
LessonLesson 33Types of Muscles
Smooth Muscles
SkeletalMuscles
CardiacMuscles
Structure of the Muscular System
Smooth muscles can be found in the lining of the blood vessels, the digestive tract, the passageways that lead into the lungs, and the bladder.
Smooth muscles are under involuntary control.

LessonLesson 33
• Regular physical activity is the best way to keep your muscles strong and healthy.
• Regular physical activity helps keep muscles toned and healthy.
• Practicing good posture strengthens back muscles.
• Wearing safety equipment and appropriate clothing can protect muscles during physical activity.

Tendonitis
Hernia
Muscular Dystrophy
Problems of the Muscular System
LessonLesson 33Bruise
• A bruise is an area of discolored skin that appears after an injury causes the blood vessels beneath the skin to rupture and leak.
• Swelling can be reduced with an ice pack.
Problems of the Muscular System
LessonLesson 33Muscle Strain or Sprain
• A strained muscle results when a muscle is stretched or partially torn as a result of overexertion.
• Strains are usually treated by using the R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, elevation) procedure.
• A sprain is an injury to the ligament in a joint, and it requires medical treatment.
Problems of the Muscular System
LessonLesson 33Tendonitis
• Tendonitis can be caused by injury, overuse, or aging.
• Treatment includes rest, anti-inflammatory medication, or ultrasound.
Problems of the Muscular System
LessonLesson 33Hernia
• A hernia can result from straining to lift a heavy object.
• Hernia repair usually requires surgery.
Problems of the Muscular System
LessonLesson 33Muscular Dystrophy
• Muscular dystrophy is an inherited disorder in which skeletal muscle fibers are progressively destroyed.
• There is no cure, but with early detection muscle weakness can be delayed through exercise programs.

LessonLesson 33Types of Muscles
Smooth muscles can be found in the lining of the blood vessels, the digestive tract, the passageways that lead into the lungs, and the bladder.
Smooth muscles are under involuntary control.
Smooth muscles are muscles that act on the lining of passageways and internal organs.

LessonLesson 33Types of Muscles
Most of your muscle tissue is made up of
skeletal muscle, and almost all skeletal
muscles are under voluntary control.
Skeletal muscles often work together,
undergoing opposing actions to produce
movement.
Flexor and extensor are opposing skeletal
muscles.
Skeletal muscles are attached to bone and cause body movements.

LessonLesson 33Types of Muscles
The involuntary cardiac muscles are responsible for the contraction of your heart.
The heart contracts rhythmically about 100,000 times each day to pump blood throughout your body.
