Muscular System

There are 3 types of muscle tissue in your body, these 3 are:

Smooth Muscle

Cardiac Muscle 

Skeletal Muscle 

Smooth Muscle:

The smooth muscles are found in our organs, and contracts to help move substances like food through your organs. Smooth muscles are controlled unconsciously, therefore they are classified as groups of involuntary muscles.


Cardiac Muscle:

The cardiac muscle are only founded in the heart. Unlike other types of muscle, cardiac muscle never gets tired. It works automatically and constantly without ever pausing to rest. Cardiac muscle contracts to squeeze blood out of your heart, and relaxes to fill your heart with blood. Cardiac muscle is classified as an involuntary muscle.

Smooth Muscle:

These set of muscles are the only one that is a voluntary muscles in our human body. It is moved consciously. Every physical action a human body does requires skeletal muscles. Skeletal Muscles contracts get shorter, and pull on tendons. Tendons  are attached to bones. Our muscles that move in our bones work in pairs. One pulls a bone one way and ithe other makes an opposite move. They are antagonistic. Antagonistic means that the muscles they work against each other. When one contracts, the other relaxes.
