The Muscular System The body contains 650 muscles that allow the body to move in different ways and also helps with blood flow. There are three types of muscles including: visceral‚ skeletal‚ and cardiac. Visceral muscles are the ones found in organs. This is one of the weakest of the muscle types and is also involuntary. The only voluntary muscles‚ skeletal‚ usually attach near joints. These muscles are considered voluntary because they are physical actions that can be controlled. The last muscle

Muscular System Animations 1. How do nerve impulses cause muscle contraction? Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Nerve impulses that originate in the central nervous system cause muscles to contract. Both neurons and muscle tissue conduct electrical current by moving ions across cellular membranes. A motor neuron ends in a synapse with a muscle fiber. The neuron releases acetylcholine and transfers the action potential to the muscle tissue. The signal will travel through the tissue
