Be sure to look below for the image of the major muscle groups of the body that each of you will be responsible for knowing on the test!
 * Classification Assignment:**
 * Go the the Interactive Muscle Labeling Website and do "The Muscular System" labeling exercises both a (2) and both b (2)/(4 activities total), then print or take a screen shot of each (4) and save. Attach them as images/pictures/attachments, and send them in a formal email to the teacher. Then, describe the 3 major types of muscle in a good constructed paragraph - include description of their functions and anatomic structures. Provide sources in MLA format.**

=**Muscles are classified according to structure and function.**=

Muscles are structurally classified by 3 types - cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. 1. Skeletal muscle makes up muscle tissue of the appendages or limbs (arms, legs). 2. Smooth muscle lines the walls of hollow organs and lines blood vessels (walls of stomach). 3. Cardiac muscle is only found in the heart.

Muscles are also functionally classified by voluntary (skeletal) and involuntary (smooth and cardiac). Muscles produced movements when they contract. Therefore muscles are also classified according to their function during contractions as: agonist, antagonist, synergist, and fixator. (This picture is of public domain - copyright free image.)
