The muscular system is responsable for the movement of the human body.
MUSCLES OF THE HEAD
They allow you to contract your facial muscles . The smallest movement can turn a smile into a frown. You can raise your eyebrow to look surprised or wiggle your nose.
A HEARTY MUSCLE
The muscle that makes up the heart is called cardiac muscle. It is also known as the myocardium . The thick muscles of the heart contract to pump blood out and then relax to let blood back in after it has circulated through the body.
SMOOTH MUSCLES
Smooth muscles — sometimes also called involuntary muscles. They are in your stomach and digestive system
LIMB MUSCLES
like muscles of the pectoral region, upper arm, shoulder or cuadricep muscles
