Muscular System Quiz:

The muscular system is responsible for movement in the human body. It is composed of over 600 muscles, which are classified into three types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. Skeletal muscles, attached to bones by tendons, are under voluntary control and enable actions like walking, running, and lifting. Smooth muscles, found in organs like the stomach and blood vessels, are involuntary and control internal movements such as digestion and blood flow. Cardiac muscle, found only in the heart, also functions involuntarily, pumping blood throughout the body. The muscular system is essential for maintaining posture, producing heat, and enabling bodily functions.
