Muscle is a
special kind of tissue that brings about movement. The kind of movement that
muscles carry out depends on where the muscles are located. Without
muscles your bones and joints will be useless. Bones cannot move by
muscles.
When muscles contract, they pull the body parts to which they are
attached. This action usually causes some movement, as when the joints of
the legs are flexed and extended during walking. At the other time, muscular
contraction resists motion, as when they help the body parts in postural
positions. Muscles are also responsible for the movement of the body fluids
such as blood and urine, and they function in heat production that helps
There are 600 muscles in the human body. Most muscles are attached
to bones and extended from one bone to another. Each end of the muscles is
Muscles do not push; they only pull. Therefore, most muscles come in
pairs. The muscles of your arm are good examples of how muscles work as
partners. The two muscles of your arms are called biceps and triceps.
