Anatomy and Physiology : Muscles and Movements

Muscles and Movements: Things You Should Know (Questions and Answers) introduces the anatomy and physiology of the human muscular system in a question-and-answer format.

The book explains skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles, including their functions and unique characteristics. It describes muscle fibers, contractility, excitability, extensibility, and tonicity, while also highlighting how muscles enable movement, posture, and stability.

Key topics include muscle groups of the limbs, pelvis, trunk, and face, along with their specific roles in flexion, extension, rotation, abduction, and adduction. The book also examines concepts such as ATP, motor neurons, thresholds, sarcomeres, myofilaments, and neuromuscular junctions.

Common conditions are addressed, including myalgia, lumbago, muscle fatigue, spasms, and strains, as well as clinical studies such as electromyography and myopathy.

This book will interest students, health science learners, and general audiences who want to understand the muscular system and how it contributes to movement and daily activity.
