Muscular system

is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth,


and cardiac muscle. It permits movement of the
body, maintains posture, and circulates blood
throughout the body.

The muscular systems in vertebrates are controlled


through the nervous system although some
muscles (such as the cardiac muscle) can be
completely autonomous. Together with the
skeletal system in the human, it forms the
musculoskeletal system, which is responsible for
the movement of the body.
