Document Summary

Skeletal muscles - responsible for your posture, running, writing dancing, etc. Approximately 600 skeletal muscles that move the joints. Smooth muscle - compromises all of the intestinal tracts well as all of the blood vessels except for the capillaries, which have no smooth muscle. Responsible for movement of the food though the intestinal tract as well as directing blood from one part of your body to another. Has an intrinsic neural control in the intestinal tract and is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Cardiac muscle - most important of the muscle groups since it propels the blood throughout the body. Cardiac cells - generate force for a much longer period of time than do skeletal muscles. Blood vessels (smooth muscle) send more blood to your skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle contracts faster and with more force. Smooth muscle in your gastrointestinal tract decreases its activity.
