Involuntary - muscles govern movement that is not controlled by will, such as respiration and digestion. Involuntary muscles that move the internal organs and systems are called smooth muscles. Cardiac - controls the contractions of the heart. Also an involuntary muscle Voluntary - muscles can be contracted at will. Also called skeletal muscles

Tendons – anchor muscles to bone Bursas – lie between some tendons and the bones beneath them. Bursas are lined with synovial fluid – making it easier for the tendon to slide over a bone when the tendon shortens

What would the term be for inflammation of the bursa? What would the term be for inflammation of a tendon?

Skeletal muscles work in pairs to produce movement.

Warm up properly and stretch before exercising, and cool down after exercising to prevent injury. Use proper equipment and wear appropriate clothing to protect muscles during any physical activity. Practice good posture to strengthen back muscles. Eat high protein foods to build muscle. Get regular exercise.
