1. Mobility - muscular system's simplest and most crucial function.

S keletal muscles are largely responsible for

the movements and motions. Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones. Theyre controlled, in part, by the central
nervous system. Skeletal muscles are used when we bend, twist, stretch, run, and perform other movements. Fast-
twitch skeletal muscles cause short bursts of speed and strength, while slow-twitch muscles function better for
longer movement.

2. Circulation - The involuntary cardiac and smooth muscles helps the heart beat and blood flow through your
body. The cardiac muscle, known as the myocardium, is found in the walls of heart. The cardiac muscle is
controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for most bodily functions.

3. Respiration - The diaphragm is the main muscle at work during quiet breathing. More labored breathing, like
what we experience during exercise, may require accessory muscles to assist the diaphragm. These may include
the abdominal, neck, and back muscles.

4. Digestion - smooth muscles contract and relax as food passes through your body during digestion. These
muscles also help push food out of the body, whether through defecation or vomiting when you're sick.

5. Urination - smooth and skeletal muscles make up the urinary system. The urinary system includes :

kidneys
bladder
ureter
urethra
penis or vagina
prostate
The dome of bladder is made of smooth muscles. We able to release urine when those muscles tighten up. When
they relax, we able to hold in your urine. But all of the muscles in urinary system work together so we can urinate.
Smooth muscles are also found in the uterus.

6.Pregnancy - During pregnancy, these muscles grow and stretch to compensate for the baby's development.
When a woman is ready to go into labor, the smooth muscles of the uterus contract and relax to help push the
baby through the vagina.

7. Vision - Your eye socket is made up of six skeletal muscles that help you move your eyes. The internal muscles of
your eyes, though, are made up of smooth muscles. These muscles work together to help you see the world
around you. If these muscles ever become damaged, your vision can become impaired.

8.Stability -The skeletal muscles in your core help with stability and protecting your spine. Your abdominal
muscles, back muscles, and pelvic muscles make up your core muscle group. This core muscle group is also known
as the trunk. The stronger your core, the better youre able to stabilize your body. The muscles in your legs also
help steady you.

9. Posture - Your skeletal muscles also control posture, from your head down to your toes. Flexibility and strength
are keys to maintaining proper posture. Stiff neck muscles, weak back muscles, and tight hip muscles, among other
ailments, can throw off your alignment. Poor posture can affect your shoulders, spine, hips, and knees. This can
lead to joint pain and weaker muscles.
