Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The muscular system consists of a skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. This makes body movement, preserves balance, and circulates blood all over the body. The muscle system in vertebrates is regulated by the nervous system, although some muscles can be completely independent.
