Muscular System / Force and Work
Functions of the Muscular System
Move the body
Regulate materials moving within the body: Size of blood vessels, pyloric valve, pupil of the eye
Move food through the digestive tract (smooth muscle)
Voluntary Muscles
Muscles you can control: all skeletal muscles
Involuntary Muscles
Muscles you do not consciously control
-Smooth muscle in the digestive
system
-Heart (cardiac muscle)
-Pupil of the eyes (sphincter muscle)
-Blood vessel walls
When muscles contract
-Muscles move by contract This is the only movement they can make.
-It takes two muscle groups to move a bone, one to contract and move the bone and another to contract and move
the bone back to the original position
Thought Questions
What are the organs of the muscular system? Muscles
What are the three types of muscle cells? Skeletal muscle or striated muscle Smooth muscle Cardiac muscle
What are the major muscle groups of the body (see picture above)? Trapezoids, Deltoids, Pectorals, Biceps
brochii, Tricepsbrochii, Abdominals, Latissimus Dorsi, Gluteus maximus, Biceps Femoris, Rectus femorus,
Gastrocnemius
What cell organelle corresponds most closely to the muscular system? The mitochondrion
-It burns oxygen and glucose to make energy for the cell. Skeletal muscle cells have extra mitochondrion in them
to help them burn more energy
Work
Work is the amount of energy transferred by a force moving a distance
Work = force x distance
___W= FxD_______________
Measured in Joules
Work and inclined planes
The greater the angle of the inclined plane, the more force is necessary to move the object up
The amount of work done is the same if the object moves the same distance
Inclined planes trade the amount of force necessary to move the object with the distance you move the object.
The lower the angle makes work easier, because it uses less force over a greater distance

Thought Questions
What conditions must be met to consider that work has been done?
-If you apply a force and you move an object in the same direction as the force, work has been done
-If you apply less force, less work has been done
-If no force is applied, no work has been done, even if the object moves (ex: a falling object)
How can force be reduced to do work?
-Using simple machines makes work easier by increasing the distance to move an object and reducing the
force needed to move the object
-Inclined planes or ramps make less force necessary by increasing the distance the object must be moved
Work Calculations
How much work is done by a person who uses a force of 30N to move a grocery buggy 12m?
- W=FxD = (30N) (12m)= 360J
55, 000J of work is done to move a rock 25m. How much force was applied?
F=W/D = 55,000J/25m = 2200J
Thought Questions
How do the muscular and skeletal systems interact to apply forces?
-When a muscle contracts, it pulls on the tendon at the end of the muscle which is attached to the bone.
-The bone is moved like a lever
-The opposing muscle group must then contract to apply the opposite force to move the bone back to the original
position
How can the force done by muscles be calculated? –The force applied by a muscle can be measured using
instruments
*Hand grips
*Weights *Spring Scales
How do the skeletal and muscular systems interact to transform energy both internally and externally?
-Muscle cells burn glucose and oxygen to transform chemical energy to mechanical and heat energy
-Mechanical force applied by muscles is transferred to bones as motion
-Potential (chemical) to kinetic (mechanical)
