The Amazing Muscular
System!
By Jay, Lee, and Zach E.
Introduction
Your muscular system does lots of important
jobs. It helps you move, pumps your blood,
helps you digest food and even helps you
breathe.
Inside a Muscle
How it Works
When you want to move your arm one muscle contracts
and the other one relaxes. So that makes your muscle
pick up your arm. That is how you pick up weights.
What the Muscle Is Made Of
Did you know your muscle is made of small
muscle fibers? Connective tissue is what
holds the fibers together so they don’t fall
apart. A stretchable material called a tendon
is what connects the muscles to your bones.
