Introduction
The muscular and skeleton systems are responsible for the body movement and to keep the
body in shape. Both systems are collectively called the musculoskeletal system. The muscular
system of human consists of smooth muscles and cardiac muscles. There are about 6000
muscles in the human body (Stein and Roche, Orthosensor, 2019). The skeleton system in the
other hand composed of bines and cartilage. It also comprises bands of fibrous connective
tissue, the ligaments, and tendons (Shier, Butler and Lewis, 2015). In this particular report,
the anatomy organization and function of these systems will be discussed including the
interaction between these systems to perform locomotion.
Muscular system
The muscular system refers to the system of the humanoid body that works to provide motor
power for every movement of the body parts. It is composed of specific tissue named
muscular tissue. Every muscle is a separate organ made-up of the human skeletal muscle
tissue, blood ducts, tendons and nerves (Stein and Roche, Orthosensor, 2019).
Types of muscles tissues
Skeleton muscles: there are more than 600 types of skeleton muscles, generate movement in
the human body and makeup nearly 40 per cent of an individual's body weight. The muscles
receive the signals from the nervous system, groups of muscles act together to move the
skeleton. Skeleton muscles are long and cylindrical in shape, striated, and contains more than
two nucleus and mitochondria. They communicate via intercalated discs and form muscles
that the body uses to move (Sakuma, 2018).
Cardiac muscles: cardiac type of muscles are only found in the heart and make up the heart
walls and create steady, and rhythmic pulsing that pushes the blood throughout the body from
the brain signals. The muscle types also generate electrical impulses to produce heart

contraction. These cells have Cardiac muscle cells that are quadrangular in shape which
single nucleus and many mitochondria. Cardiomyocytes cells are short and narrow, and
quadrilateral in shape. They allow the transfer of contractile forces between the cells which is
essential for the normal heartbeat. Satellite cells are present in cardiac muscles and act to
replace the damaged muscles (Sherwood, 2015).
Smooth muscles: smooth muscles make up the hollow organs’ walls, respiratory pathways,
and blood vessels. Its wavelike movements propel items like food throughout the bodily
systems. cells of the smooth muscle are spindle-shaped and comprise a single nucleus. They
are 10 to 600 μm in length and are elastic. They are important for the enlargement of organs
like kidneys, lugs, and vagina. They arranged together in sheets, and perform functions like
involuntary contractions (Tortora and Derrickson, 2017).
Connective tissues
Connective tissue, collection of tissues in the human body that uphold the shape of the body
and associated organs and deliver consistency and internal support. The connective tissues
comprise several kinds of fibrous tissue that vary only in their thickness and cellularity, in
addition to the more specific and recognizable variants. There are different types of
connective tissues like areolar, adipose, dense irregular, dense regular, bone, and blood
(Muscolino, 2016).
