Human muscle system, the muscles of the human body that work the skeletal system, that are under voluntary control, and that are concerned with movement, posture, and balance.
Muscle is a specialised soft tissue, one of the four basic types of animal tissues. There are three types of muscle tissues in vertebrates:- skeletal muscle tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, and smooth muscle tissue. Muscle tissue gives skeletal muscles the ability to contract and relax.
Muscles are soft tissues that can contract and produce movement in the body. They are made up of muscle cells, which contain protein filaments that slide past each other to produce contraction.
In this article, we shall look at a six-part framework for describing muscles – site, shape, attachments, action, nerve supply, and blood supply. This structure can be applied to any skeletal muscle and forms the basis for effective anatomical learning.
