Seventh Grade Week 12

This week we continue looking at the Human Body. Remember, as we go through this entire unit, add to, redo, edit your Human Body Notebook 10 projects. Send it to hoopmanscience@gmail.com. This week as a class we are editing and adding to the pages on the skeletal and muscular systems.

What is the function of the skeletal system? the muscular system?
What are some of the parts of these systems and what do they do?

Contracts for this week focus on these questions. Use the Human Body Google Doc we created as a list of resources to use in your research and use lasts week's form to add new resources.

  3. Muscles have 3 main functions:
    1.Movement-by muscle cells contracting and expanding
    2.Temperature-cells release energy from sugars Ex: glucose
    3.Posture-if you don't use a muscle often enough it will become weak or if you have bad posture all the time it will stay like that

  9. I think the most used muscle in your body is your heart because you use it all the time. The tongue is the strogest muscle in the human body, for its size.

  10. yeah, it is the heart. but i dont get why its even a muscle when it doesn't help make you stable. that's what the main point of a muscle is in general.

  16. Myles,to answer your question "How many muscles are in the human body?",there is no actual number of muscles in the body. That is because there is variability between muscle structure in individuals. I'm almost sure there are more than 640, though.That is because that's about how many skeletal muscles there are.
