Muscular system
The
muscular system
is an
organ system
consisting of
skeletal
,
smooth
and
cardiac
muscles
. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. The muscular system in
vertebrates
is controlled through the
nervous system
, although some muscles (such as the
cardiac muscle
) can be completely autonomous. Together with the
skeletal system
it forms the
musculoskeletal system
, which is responsible for movement of the
human body
.
