This course begins with an introduction to muscle tissues. You will study the importance of the muscular system in the human body, the differences between smooth, striated, and cardiac muscles, and the different contractions of striated muscles. You will also look into the different types of striated muscles, the composition of the skeletal muscles, and the subdivisions of the skeletal muscles. You will also learn about the relation of fatigue to muscles.

You will then look into the different skeletomuscular mechanics. The skeletal and muscular systems together to produce motion and locomotion of the body which are mechanical in nature. With this course, you will learn about the structure of the skeletomuscular unit as well as study the roles of the skeletal muscles and the effects of exercise or lack of it. Furthermore, you will also look into the nervous control of the skeletal muscles, the sensory input into the central nervous system, and the commands into the central nervous system.

The human muscular system plays a vital role in maintaining posture and is essential for the movement of the body. Upon the completion of this course, you will become familiar with the structure and functions of the muscular system and better understand how the nervous system controls the muscles. Sign up for this course and gain better insight into the key roles of the muscles as well as become familiar with the different muscles found around the body.
