Do you know what parts of your body muscles are? If you don't, you aren't alone; in fact, even the most health-conscious among us could use a review on this matter! So check out our list of muscle body parts below to learn more about this very important topic!
The Heart
Your heart is a muscle and the most important one you have. Your heart is responsible for pumping blood throughout your body. It is also the organ that ensures you get enough oxygen to survive when you inhale and the organ that takes carbon dioxide out of your body when you exhale. What other body parts are muscles?
The Tongue: When we speak or eat, our tongues move. The Lips:
Lip movement can be controlled by conscious or subconscious thoughts. Muscles in our Lips help us produce speech sounds by helping to shape and change the position of lips, teeth, tongue, and cheeks (such as pouting). They also form an airtight seal around any object between them so that food does not escape between the lips. We often use this feature when eating sticky foods such as peanut butter. Other Body Parts That Are Muscles Include but are not limited to the Neck: Neck muscles attach to the skull and hold up the head, which weighs about 10 pounds. Calf Muscle/Shin/Hamstring:
These long straight muscle groups run along either side
of the back of your leg and through your buttocks connecting with
the thigh bone just below its knee joint. Flexor Carpi Ulnaris: these forearm muscles control flexion at the wrist joint extending into each finger across part of the front of the hand.
The Stomach
When you think about muscles, what body parts come to mind?
For most people, it's their arms or legs. But did
you know that there are a lot of other muscles in your body too? Here are some
examples:
-Your stomach comprises muscle fibers
that work to keep your food in your belly and not let it leak out.
-Your esophagus comprises rings of
muscle tissue that contract and relax to push food into your stomach.
-The heart has muscle tissue that contracts
and relaxes to pump blood throughout the rest of the body.
-The diaphragm is a thin sheet of muscle
tissue under your lungs that helps push air in and out as you breathe. -The
perineum is another example of a muscle, but this one goes between your vagina
and anus.
-Tissues called intervertebral discs connect the bones in your spine together and act as cushions for them to move on top of each other easily;
these discs are made up of jelly-like material encased by tough outer layers. What do all these have in common?
They're all part of our musculoskeletal system (bones or muscles). And while those five were unexpected, here are three more often overlooked ones:
The teeth contain bone and soft tissues, including muscles that help with chewing. Our eyes also contain bone and soft tissues like muscles because they allow us to see images through tiny movements at the back of the eye. And lastly, glands found in many different places in our bodies, such as the liver and pancreas, produce hormones like insulin which help regulate how much sugar gets into our bloodstream after we eat foods containing carbohydrates.
The bladder
The following are muscles in the body that you may not have known about bladder, scapula, sternum, biceps femoris (located on the back of your upper leg), coracobrachialis (located on the front of your upper arm), and rectus abdominis. The bladder is a muscle found in the lower abdomen. The scapula is a shoulder blade that can move up and down to help you shrug your shoulders. It also helps bring your arms closer to your body when bending over. The sternum is a bone located in between the two breast bones. It is also called the breastbone or chest bone. Your ribs attach to the sternum, protecting organs inside your thorax. The biceps femoris is a large muscle at the top of your thigh. It attaches to the head of the tibia near the knee joint and assists in extension and helping bend your knee joint. Coracobrachialis is one of two muscles that help flex both elbows, bringing them closer together;
it also involves raising your arms forward towards the front while keeping them close to each other (as if hugging yourself). Rectus abdominis is one long sheet-like muscle on either side of your stomach area. The spinal column has 34 small vertebrae.
There are 206 bones in the human skeleton. What body parts are muscles?
Most people might say their legs, hands, feet, fingers, and toes, but there are plenty more! The bladder is an organ that stores urine. When filled, it will push on the urethra, causing urination. The scapula is part of the spine which controls movement, like shrugging your shoulders. Sternum is where ribs attach to protect vital organs such as your heart and lungs from being crushed by heavy objects or injury. The Bicep femoris belongs to a group of three muscles called hamstrings which make up the back of your thigh;
this muscle bends at its attachment site where the hamstring connects with the head of the tibia near its knee joint.
The lungs
Your lungs are muscles that help you
breathe. They use oxygen to remove carbon dioxide from the air and add oxygen
to the blood. There are two sets of lungs inside your rib cage. Your right lung
is smaller than your left lung because it has less work to do since we don't
use both sides of our body equally. You have sixteen pectoralis
major muscles, four on each side. These muscles move your shoulder joint up,
down, forward, and backward. These four muscles comprise about one-third of all
chest muscles in the human body.
The quadriceps (four muscles) at the front
of your thigh can extend and straighten your knee joint when they contract and control movements for other joints in your legs. Your biceps brachii
(two muscles) at the front of your arm flexes (contracts) when you bend or
straighten your elbow joint and helps with many other movements in this region, including holding objects such as a phone to your ear or carrying groceries in
one hand. Your triceps brachii (two muscles) at the back of your arm extends
(contracts) when you bend or straighten your elbow joint and also helps with
many other movements in this region.
The biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and gastrocnemius comprise what's known as the hamstring group. These four long muscles extend (contract) to pull your leg back behind you and lift your foot off the ground when walking, running, or jumping and flex(contract) to bring your leg forward under you while walking, running, or sitting down. These muscles have three main parts:
Upper, middle, and lower. The upper part originates below the pelvis and attaches to your tibia below the kneecap. Middle originates from just below the pelvic bone;
attaches around a groove on top of your shinbone near the ankle joint and ends by inserting it into either side of your heel bone. Lower originates from just above the pubic symphysis near the groin area;
attaches around a groove on top of your shinbones near the ankle joint and ends by inserting it into either side of the heel bone or the bottom surface of the foot (plantar fascia).
The eyes
First things first, what are muscles? The
definition is the tissue of an animal that contains contractile fibers and
gives shape to the body. They're important.
Here's a list of all the body parts that are muscles:
• Skin (seven sentences)
• Fascia
• Tendons
• Nerves
• Ligaments.
The skin
Skin is a body part that is muscles. It's the largest organ in your body and weighs about six pounds. It's almost 20 times thicker than a piece of paper, yet it's so thin you can't see it. The skin, comprised of two layers of tissue, protects the rest of your body from infection and injury. One layer, called the epidermis or outer layer, has cells called keratinocytes. Keratinocytes ensure no bacteria on the skin's surface by constantly shedding old, dead cells and making new ones to replace them. These keratinocytes are also responsible for producing melanin pigment that colors your skin.
The other layer, the dermis or inner layer, contains nerves, sweat glands, blood vessels, and hair follicles that help regulate temperature. Between these two tissue layers is a fat-filled substance called adipose tissue or fat cells. Fat cells provide insulation against heat loss and cushioning against impacts from physical activity like running or jumping on a trampoline. But they do more than just give you nice curves:
They store energy to help protect your organs when food sources get low. They also help control metabolism by releasing extra energy into the bloodstream during exercise. When you gain weight, your adipose cells take in more water (hydration), so they don't shrink as much as other tissues and organs do with added weight;
this hydration process helps keep people looking plump instead of swollen when overweight.
