    [16] [17] [18] In the present table, using statistical counts of the instances of each muscle, and ignoring gender-specific muscles, there are 753 skeletal muscles. Sometimes male and females have the same muscle but with different purposes [ 19 ]

  3. Human musculoskeletal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_musculoskeletal_system

    Only skeletal and smooth muscles are part of the musculoskeletal system and only the muscles can move the body. Cardiac muscles are found in the heart and are used only to circulate blood; like the smooth muscles, these muscles are not under conscious control. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and arranged in opposing groups around joints. [8]

  4. Muscular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_system

    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.

    Skeletal muscle (commonly referred to as muscle) is one of the three types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. They are part of the voluntary muscular system [ 1 ] and typically are attached by tendons to bones of a skeleton .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_muscle

    Different skeletal muscle types: A: fusiform. B: unipennate. C: bipennate. (PCS: physiological cross-section) Muscles may also be described by the direction that the muscle fibres run, in their muscle architecture. Fusiform muscles have fibres that run parallel to the length of the muscle, and are spindle-shaped. [19]

  9. Brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain

    Brain of a human embryo in the sixth week of development. The brain develops in an intricately orchestrated sequence of stages. [71] It changes in shape from a simple swelling at the front of the nerve cord in the earliest embryonic stages, to a complex array of areas and connections.
