muscular system

• What are the three main types of muscle tissue in the human body?

  Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle
• What is the primary function of cardiac muscle?


  To circulate blood through and out of the heart
• How does cardiac muscle differ from skeletal muscle in terms of control?


  Cardiac muscle is involuntary, while skeletal muscle is voluntary
• Where is cardiac muscle found?


  In the walls of the heart
• What does it mean that cardiac muscle is myogenic?


  It has a set rhythm of contraction
• How much blood does the heart pump at rest?


  Approximately 5 litres per minute
• How does cardiac muscle respond during exercise?


  It contracts at a quicker rate to circulate more blood
• What role does smooth muscle play in the body?


  It regulates digestion and blood pressure
• Where is smooth muscle located?


  In the walls of hollow organs, such as the digestive system and blood vessels
• What is the contraction speed of smooth muscle?


  It has slow contractions
• How does smooth muscle aid performance during exercise?


  It regulates blood flow to skeletal muscles
• What is skeletal muscle also known as?


  Striated or striped muscle
• What type of control does skeletal muscle have?


  It is under conscious control
• What is the primary function of skeletal muscle?


  To provide movement and support
• How do skeletal muscles create movement?


  By contracting and pulling on bones
• What happens to skeletal muscles during exercise?


  They can become fatigued
• Why are skeletal muscles important for sports?


  They enable movement necessary for participation in sports
• How does cardiac muscle support athletic performance?


  By delivering oxygen-rich blood to working muscles
• What role does smooth muscle play in digestion?


  It moves food through the digestive system
• What are the major skeletal muscles of the muscular system?
