BUNGEE JUMP: In order to ride on this ride you have to be at least 18 years old. The muscle fiber, which you will use as a bungee cord, is located in the shoulder, and it can stretch all the way to the finger tips.
CABLE CARS: On this ride, you will ride on a cable car throughout the entire human body. This cable cart will be suspended on muscle fibers.
Diagram of the muscular system
The two most popular places to go in the muscular system is the cardiac muscle, which is an involuntary muscle, and the biceps, which is a voluntary muscle.
1. The three types of muscles are described below:
Smooth muscles:These types of muscles are found in blood vessles and internal organs. These muscles line the organs and blood vessels, and produce involuntarily controlled contractions.
Involuntary muscles:Involuntary muscles are muscles which have contractions, which are not under conscious control. An example of an involuntary muscle is the cardiac muscle, the muscle which makes up the heart.
Voluntary muscle:A voluntary muscle is a muscle which contracts under conscious control. An example of a voluntary muscle is the biceps.
2. When the muscle is stimulated to contract, the cross-bridges move, pulling the two filaments past each other. After each cross-bridge has moved as far as it can, it releases the actin filament and returns to its original position. The cross-bridge then attaches to the actin filament at another place and the cycle is repeated. When thousands of actin and myosin filaments interact this way, the entire muscle cell shortens. This concept is called the sliding filament theory.
3. The function of the flexor is to flex or bend the joint that it is contracting next to, while the function of the extendor is to straighten out the joint that it is close to whenever it contracts.
4. Skeletal muscles are joined to bones by tough connective tissues called tendons.
5. There is no partial contraction of the muscle cell. Contraction is an "all-or-none" response.
6. Here are the names and locations of 10 muscles in the human body:
Triceps brachii: This muscle is located at the back of the upper arm
Biceps brachii: This muscle is located at the front of the upper arm
Deltoid: This muscle is located in the shoulder
Gluteus maximus: This muscle is located in the buttocks
Temporalis: This is the muscle that is located right above the ear
Frontalis: This muscle is located in the forehead
Pectoralis major: This muscle is located in the breast
Gastrocnemius: This muscle is located in the back of the bottom part of the leg
Sternocleidomastoid: This muscle is located in the neck
Tensor fasciae latae: This muscle is located in the hip
The three most popular muscles in the muscular system are the Gluteus maximus, the triceps, and the biceps.
WATCH OUT FOR CONTRACTING MUSCLES, BECAUSE THEY CAN CRUSH YOU.
The muscular system imports oxygen from the respiratory system.
The muscular system exports lactic acid to the bloodstream.
