####Muscular System: The Meat of the Matter
The joys of a
massage or the relief of a chiropractic adjustment—and the stresses of
physical work—play out partly in the muscles. Learn just what pumps the
body up with Groupon’s guide to the muscular system.
The
human body has more than 630 muscles keeping it upright and mobile.
They make up almost half its weight and power the movements of the
bones, the blood, and even the food in the stomach. Perhaps the most
familiar muscles are those seen in bodybuilding contests and
facial-expression contests: the skeletal, or voluntary, muscles. They’re
attached to our bones and controlled by our brains, which zap them with
electrical signals to cause their fibers to contract. During a muscle
contraction, filaments inside the muscle fibers slide together, stacking
up on one another so that the larger fiber shortens. In shortening, the
fibers gain thickness—a phenomenon we notice as flexing. Whatever
muscles do, they accomplish by this single pulling action. If a bicep
(part of a category of muscles known as flexors) flexes to lift a
barbell, it needs a tricep (an extensor), pulling in the opposite
direction, to bring the arm back down.
The other two
types of muscles are smooth muscles and cardiac muscles, and both are
beyond our conscious control. Cardiac muscles control the beating of the
heart, contracting the chambers to push blood throughout the body. But
the blood doesn’t ride to the toes on that momentum alone. Lining the
blood vessels are smooth muscles that help push it along. These also
line the esophagus, stomach, and intestine to move food through the
digestive track, and can even help regulate the body’s temperature by
opening and closing capillaries near the skin surface, all without
conscious effort. The subconscious brain is also happy to turn muscles
to ends beyond their apparent purpose: for instance, what we experience
as shivering from cold is simply the brain causing the muscles to spasm
so they will generate heat and keep your blood and any baby chicks in
your coat pockets warm.
