2. Muscular system

  1. Muscular system

This system is made up of muscles that are responsible for movements. There are three types as skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles.

Skeletal muscles help in moving the body from one place to another. Functions like walking, running, moving, lifting, bending are possible due to skeletal muscles.

On the other hand, the cardiac muscles in the heart help in blood pumping. It forces the blood to flow through the arteries such that it reaches the deep and remote areas of the body.

While the smooth muscles are present in other organs like the intestine, uterus, urinary bladder, etc. These muscles bring about movement within the body to aid physiology.
