Three types of muscles.
• Cardiac
• This muscle is only found in the walls of the
heart.
• They contract and relax the heart
continuously to pump blood through it,
without conscious effort from you.
• Involuntary Muscles - smooth
• These are the muscles around organs
such as the intestines and blood vessels.
Like the cardiac muscles, they work
without conscious effort from you.
• Voluntary Muscles - skeletal
• These muscles are attached to the skeleton
and are under your control.
Different types of joints
Antagonist & Agonist
• Muscles can only pull. To make a joint
move in two directions, you need two
muscles that can pull in opposite
directions.
– Antagonistic muscles are pairs of
muscles that work against each other.
• One muscle contracts (agonist, or
prime mover) while the other one
relaxes (antagonist) and vice versa.

Origin & Insertion
• Muscles are attached to two different bones by
tendons. When the muscle contracts only one bone
moves.
• The place where the muscle is attached to the
stationary bone is called the Origin.
• The place where the muscle is attached to the
moving bone is called the Insertion.

Synergists
• Any other muscle which helps the prime
mover to cause a movement is a
Synergist.
• An example of this is when bending the
arm at the elbow, the synergist would be
the brachialis muscle in the forearm.
