Subject: The Muscular System: Review
Level#1: Your bones cannot move on their own. They move because they are attached to muscles. Tendons are a type of tissue that connects muscles to bones or other muscles. There are three kinds of muscle tissue in your body. skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle moves your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones. When a muscle moves, it contracts. or shortens. When a muscles relaxes, it lengthens. Muscles can only pull. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs.
1. Why can bones move?
2. How many kinds of muscle tissue are there and what are there names?
3. What happens to a muscle when it moves and what happens when it relaxes?

When a muscles relaxes, it lengthens. Muscles can only pull. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs. Most voluntary muscles work in teams of two to move bones. The biceps and triceps work together when you move your arm. Muscles and tendons can be injured when you play sports. An injured tendon can take months, and sometimes even years to heal. You can avoid this trouble by doing a lot of stretching before and after exercising. Stretching keeps both muscles and tendons flexible.
