Structure and function of the
muscular system
In this task I will be explaining the
structure and function of the muscular
system.
I will be looking at the major muscles
groups in the body and how they help the
body in function and movement.
Muscle types
There are 650 skeletal muscles in the
human body but very few qualify as major
muscle groups. Major muscles are the
largest muscle groups in the body and are
largely responsible for all our body
movements. About 40% of your body
mass is muscle.
Your muscles are supplied with arteries to
convey nutrients and oxygen and veins to
remove waste products. Most sporting
movements involve the co ordinated
action of muscles rather than muscles
working in isolation.
