, ✓~ ATP
The 3 primary functions of the muscular system:
✓~ movement,
posture or muscle tone, and heat production
A muscle's insertion bone moves toward?
✓~ its origin bone
Tension during muscle lengthening is called?
✓~ eccentric contraction
The muscle which is responsible for producing a particular movement.

When the muscles contract too often, the stores of this energy become
depleted

The type of contraction in which muscle does not shorten, and no movement
takes place
