Question
Chapter 20, Problem 3.1A
Summary Introduction
To fill:
The muscle that is at fixed position.
Introduction:
The muscles are the bundles of the fibrous tissues in the animals that have the ability to contract, movement, and maintaining the position of different parts of the body. There are three types of muscles, smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscles. The muscular system is controlled by the nervous system and some muscles are autonomous.
