SKELETAL AND MUSCULAR

SYSTEM

• One of the most important things in your body is your muscles.

• If you did not have your muscles you would not be able to open your mouth, speak, hold or shake hands, walk, talk or move food through the digestive system.

• Did you know that on an average scale 40% of your body weight is your muscles?

• The human body has over 630 muscles that help you move.• If you thought muscles could push, your wrong because they

pull.

MUSCULAR SYSTEM

that’s why they are the busiest muscles in your body.• The largest muscle in your body is the gluteus maximus

which is located in your buttocks.• Your muscle cells use chemical energy from the food you eat.
