MUSCLES
• The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body.
• Attached to the bones of the skeletal system, it makes up roughly half of a
person’s body weight.
• 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
