How our muscles work.

Whoa! My muscles are aching after all those running. To make your body healthier you need to exercise, eat the right food, sleep, and drink lots of water. I will be doing an explanation about our muscles and discuss how the muscles in the human body work . There are over 600 muscles in our body! So no matter what size you are were all the same.

There are about 6-8 muscles in our body, each of these muscles belong to a particular group. There are three types of our muscles in our body, I’ll start with the smooth muscle. Smooth muscle are found in our intestines, bladder, and lungs. They work by themselves and they also are called involuntary muscles. When a person is gonna throw up that’s when the smooth muscle comes in, they push the food up to the throat out the mouth. Cardiac muscle, Cardiac muscles also move by them self like the heart. The heart is also called a myocardium muscle, It contracts and relaxes and pumps blood through the rest of our body. The last muscle skeletal muscle. A skeletal muscle are called voluntary muscle, it is like involuntary muscle but you decide when and what muscle you’re going to move. This voluntary muscle is connected to your bones and tendons.

How you know when to move your muscles is your brain muscles. The muscles are called Cerebral motor cortex and cerebellum. How it moves your is, the motor cortex send an electrical signal through the body into the muscle you want to move causing them to contract. Muscles move body parts by contracting and memory laxing but they also work with flexor and  extensor, bicep muscle ( a flexor) in the front of your upper arm contracts to bend them while you flexor muscle relaxes. The triceps muscle is the extensor at the back of your upper arm contracts to extend. Deltoids is a muscle that helps move your shoulders, The muscle that is found on each side of your chest is called pectorals. Quadriceps are the muscles that are in your thighs, also the gluteus maximus those muscles are found in your bottom.

healthy and exercising a lot, the right sort of food and lots of water helps your muscle get healthier. Healthy food is great for your body and your muscles it makes it healthier and makes your muscles last longer periods. You will also need to drink lots of water and by lots I mean a lot, why? Because it helps stop your muscles from getting dehydrated. Exercising helps your muscle get bigger and make you get fitter and not just that even the other stuff I said and other things including.
