Muscle associated
Voluntary or involuntary
1. How many muscles are in the body?
2. How do muscles produce mechanical energy?

At the bottom of the page is "FLEX SOME MUSCLES" activity. Click on this link. Choose male or
female. Click on the muscles in the box on the left. Read the description of this muscle in the box on the
right. Click on the muscle on the right and drag it to the human body.
Have your teacher initial when the diagram is completed. ______________________

MUSCLE MOVEMENT
A muscle can only do two things:
1. ______________________ Pull to get shorter.
2. ______________________ It can be pulled longer when another muscle pulls the other direction.
A muscle can never __________________________________________________________
JOINT MOVEMENTS – Most joints move in two directions:
1. __________________To bend a joint. A muscle on one side of the joint contracts to do this.
2. __________________To straighten a joint. The opposing muscle of the joint contracts to do this.
To move a joint, one muscle must ____________ while the other muscle__________________
