Muscular system
From Atkinspedia
The muscular system is the biological system of humans that allows them to move. The muscular system in vertebrates is controlled through the nervous system, although some muscles (such as the cardiac muscle) can be completely autonomous.
There are about 650 skeletal muscles in the human body; see List of muscles of the human body.
