The document discusses the human muscular system. It notes that muscles give the body shape, allow movement, maintain posture and temperature. There are over 600 named muscles with different functions. Muscles work in pairs, with one contracting as the other relaxes, to enable motions like moving the elbow. Voluntary muscles are attached to bones and control movements, while involuntary muscles in organs like the heart work automatically. The three main types are cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles.
