Transcript The Muscular System

8th Grade Health
How do my muscles work?
2. How can I get stronger?
1.
Students will…
review location and function of basic
muscles
discover how a strong muscular system
affects health, performance and
appearance
Recognize the relationship between an
active lifestyle and a healthy diet in the
development of a strong muscular
system
Students will…
Name the location and function of
basic muscles of the human anatomy
Describe how an active lifestyle with
exercise promotes muscle growth
Explain how a healthy diet is
necessary for a strong muscular
system
Instructions:

Muscle Names
• Abdominals
• Biceps
• Deltoids
• Gastrocnemius
• Gluteals
• Hamstrings
• Latissimus Dorsi
• Pectorals
• Quadriceps
• Trapezius
• Triceps
Do you remember the
skeletal system from 5th
grade?
 Follow
along to the video about
how the skeletal system and
muscular system are related.

 Complete the worksheet as you read
along
 If you finish early, get out a book or other
homework as you wait patiently for the
class to move on together
 15-20 minutes
Movement
Assists in:
Breathing, digestion, and
pumping of the heart
Provides
long-term health
benefits
Enhances performance
in activities
Provides improvements in
appearance
Flexors
 decrease angle at
joint
Extensors
 increase angle at
joint
Skeletal Muscles: Working in Pairs
Adductors
 towards center of
body
Abductors
 away from center of
body
Allows a person to…
 perform daily daily activities with greater
ease (muscular strength)
 enhance quality of life by accomplishing
more (muscular endurance)
 Increase in bone density = decrease risk
of osteoporosis
 improve posture and alignment to
reduce low back problems
 decrease risk of injury caused by
everyday mishaps
Muscles get stronger according to the
amount of stress or work that is placed
on them.
Resistance training increases:
Muscular strength, muscular endurance,
power, speed, agility, coordination and
balance
Body Composition = The percentage of
fat-free mass vs. fatt mass
Muscle mass burns calories!
Improved appearance leads to higher selfesteem
