Muscular system - Coggle Diagram

- - - - (e.g) biceps muscle shortening as it contracts during the
        upward phase of a bicep curl
  - - - (e.g) the biceps muscle lengthening as it contracts during
        the downward phase of the biceps curl
  - - - where the muscle joins the fixed bone. For example, the biceps is
        attached to the scapula at its origin in the shoulder.
  - - - where the muscle joins the moving bone. For example, the biceps
        is attached to the radius at the insertion in the elbow.
  - - - the fleshy part of the muscle between the origin and the insertion. This
        is where the muscle contraction takes place
- - - - Also known as smooth or involuntary muscles
      - Cannot be consciously controlled
      - Found in the walls of internal organs (e.g. blood vessels & stomach)
  - - - When these contract blood is pumped out of the heart and
        around the body
  - - - Also known as voluntary muscles
      - Can be consciously controlled
      - are attached to the bones
      - These move the body through contraction
