Street Woman Fighter 2 (Korean: 스트릿 우먼 파이터 2), often abbreviated as SWF2, is the third season of the South Korean dance competition franchise Street Woman Fighter. It aired on Mnet from August 22 to October 31, 2023, every Tuesday at the 22:20 KST time slot for 10 episodes.
The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. [ 1 ] The muscular systems in vertebrates are controlled through the nervous system although some muscles (such as the cardiac muscle ) can be completely autonomous.
The human musculoskeletal system (also known as the human locomotor system, and previously the activity system) is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.
The sarcoplasm also contains glycogen which provides energy to the cell during heightened exercise, and myoglobin, the red pigment that stores oxygen until needed for muscular activity. [ 14 ] The sarcoplasmic reticulum , a specialized type of smooth endoplasmic reticulum , forms a network around each myofibril of the muscle fiber.
The functional unit of a muscle fiber is called a sarcomere. [2] Each muscle cell contains myofibrils composed of actin and myosin myofilaments repeated as a sarcomere. [3] Many nuclei are present in each muscle cell placed at regular intervals beneath the sarcolemma.
Secondly, the relative change in force produced by additional recruitment remains relatively constant. For counterexample, if all motor units produced similar force, then recruiting an additional unit might increase force by 10% when only 10 motor units are active, but produce only 1% increase when 100 are active.

In ordinary parlance, muscular "strength" usually refers to the ability to exert a force on an external object—for example, lifting a weight. By this definition, the masseter or jaw muscle is the strongest. The 1992 Guinness Book of Records records the achievement of a bite strength of 4,337 N (975 lb f) for 2 seconds. What distinguishes the ...
