This document defines and describes the three main types of muscles in the human body: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. It provides definitions of myology and muscles, and outlines the key functions of muscles which include movement, support, protection, heat generation, and blood circulation. The document then describes the characteristics and functions of each type of muscle - skeletal muscles are attached to bones and produce voluntary movement, smooth muscles are involuntary and line organs, and cardiac muscles make up the heart wall. It also classifies skeletal muscles based on shape, fiber architecture, and group action.
