Muscles are the body's engines, responsible for movement and posture, and are made up of cells that contract when stimulated by nerves, allowing us to move our limbs and perform everyday tasks. Muscles come in three types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal they can attached to bones and allow us to move voluntarily; smooth muscles line the walls of organs like the stomach and intestines; cardiac muscles make up the heart wall. To stay healthy, we need to exercise our muscles regularly by lifting weights or doing aerobic activities like running or swimming. This helps keep them strong, flexible, and able to do their job efficiently.
