muscular System
Muscular
The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body,
maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. The muscular system
in vertabrates is controlled through the nervous system, although some muscles can be completely quickly.There are three distinct types of muscles: skeletal muscles, cardiac or heart
muscles, and smooth muscles. Muscles provide strength, balance, posture, movement and heat for the body to keep warm. Each of these muscles is a discrete organ constructed of skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves. Muscle tissue is also found inside of the heart, digestive organs, and blood vessels. In these organs, muscles serve to
move substances throughout the body.

Muscular System organs and their Functions
SMOOTH TISSUE: Muscle tissue may be smooth and are the tissues that line blood vessels and organs such as the stomach and intestines. Smooth muscle tissue function and mobility is usually involuntary, which means a person has no control over it, such as the rhythmic contractions of the digestive tract and the bladder and contractions of blood vessels and the uterus (especially during childbirth). Smooth muscle tissues are not connected to bones and are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Smooth muscle tissue pushes food along the digestive tract and controls the flow of blood through blood vessels. Most of the digestive and excretory organs have smooth muscular tissue, so these organs can be said to make up the muscular system.
SKELETAL TISSUE:
Muscle tissue can be skeletal, which helps hold the skeletal frame together, provide strength and mobility and enables humans to walk upright. Skeletal muscles are the most well known and familiar of muscle organ systems. From the large glutenous maximums (buttocks) to the tiny flexible muscles found on the finger, skeletal muscles provide extension and contraction movements to the limbs, provide strength and support for the body, protect our internal organs and enable us to walk, jump, sit, run and carry. Some of the most common and large muscles in the human body are the abdominal the pectorals, glutenous maximums and the quadriceps. Each of these muscle groups are connected to tendons, ligaments or skeletal tissues, so the skeletal system can be said to make up the muscular system.
CARDIAC MUSCLES: The heart is actually a muscle, known as the cardiac muscle. The heart is only one of 650 muscles found in the human body and is one of the strongest. The heart is made up exclusively of cardiac tissues and is one of the most muscular organs in the body, beating at an average of 72 times per minute, states the Texas Heart Institute.
