Sign in to saveorgan system consisting of skeletal, smooth, and round cardiac muscles
AI overview
The muscular system is made up of three types of muscles—skeletal, smooth, and cardiac—that work together to enable movement and other vital functions in your body. These muscles matter because they allow you to move voluntarily, keep your organs functioning, and maintain basic life processes like heartbeat and digestion.

The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. The muscular systems in vertebrates are controlled through the nervous system although some muscles (such as the cardiac muscle) can be completely autonomous. Together with the skeletal system in the human, it forms the musculoskeletal system, which is responsible for the movement of the body.
