DEVOTIONAL

"Moral, intellectual, and physical culture
should be combined in order to have well-
developed, well-balanced men and women...
The minds of thinking men labor too hard.
They frequently use their mental powers

prodigally, while there is another class
whose highest aim in life is physical labor.
The latter class do not exercise the mind.

Their muscles are exercised while their
brains are robbed of intellectual strength,

just as the minds of thinking men are
worked while their bodies are robbed of
strength and vigor by their neglect to

exercise the muscles."

LEARNING THE BODY SYSTEM:

THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM

Learn about the body system, it's functions, and
the laws that govern them.

By Lauren Simone

“Since the mind and the soul
find expression through the
body, both mental and
spiritual vigor are in great
degree dependent upon
physical strength and activity;
whatever promotes physical
health, promotes the
development of a strong mind
and a well-balanced character.
Without health no one can as
distinctly understand
or as completely fulfill his
obligations to himself, to his
fellow beings, or to his
Creator. Therefore the health
should be as faithfully guarded
as the character. A
knowledge of physiology and
hygiene should be the basis of
all educational effort.”

know that there are over 650

muscles within the human body

and every muscle has its specific

purpose?

THREE CATEGORIES OF TISSUE

CARDIAC MUSCLE

Is a type of muscle tissue that can only
be located in the heart. The cardiac
muscle is responsible for pumping
blood throughout the body system and
is categorized as an involuntary muscle
because it is controlled unconsciously
by regions of the brainstem and
hypothalamus.

SKELETAL MUSCLE

This muscle group represents the
majority of muscle tissue in the human
body, making up over 40% of your
body's total mass. It is a voluntary
muscle so all conscious movements of
the body, including movement of the
limbs, facial expressions, eye
movements, and swallowing are the
products of skeletal muscle tissue.

SMOOTH MUSCLE

Is considered an involuntary muscle
that generally forms the supporting
tissue of blood vessels and also
supports and protects hollow organs
such as, the stomach, Intestines, and
bladder.

LEARNING THE BODY
SYSTEM

THE MUHSO WCTUO MLAAI N TRA I NS  YSTEM

Considering the importance of
the muscular system, how then
are we to take care of the body
God has given us?

Nutrition and exercise play a huge
role in maintaining the overall
health of the muscular system.
Our bodies are made up of more
than 50 percent of water,
therefore hydration is highly
beneficial and will provide the
essential electrolytes that are
necessary for muscle strength,
growth, and control. 

However, water alone will not suffice. We must drink an
adequate amount of water along with having a  proper
nutrition. Foods high in potassium (such as bananas,
potatoes, cantaloupe and peaches), and exercises engaging
the muscular system (such as walking, gardening, and
biking) will work effectively in maintaining healthy
muscles. By doing this, you can ensure a healthy body.
