• Recommended: Muscular & Skeleton Systems

What are the functions of muscles?

• Smooth & cardiac muscles control our internal organs & heart involuntarily
• Skeleton muscles allow us to control our motions voluntarily

• Our muscles affect our bodily healthy & influence our emotions
• Our state of consciousness affect the body reactions & influence our health
• Both are inter-twined, thus for a good life in high spirits, the foundation of bodily health lies in the muscles
