Functions of the muscular system Movement; Helps other body systems to work; i.e. Circulatory and Respiratory Systems. Develops strength and speed. Why is this important to know?

Types of muscle 3 different types of muscle

Structure of the Skeletal muscle Task: Fill in missing gaps on diagram Useful NB: There are often common prefixes in anatomy and physiology that may help you remember i.e. · epi means upon or on; · peri means around; · endo means within; · myo means muscle
