Kristin Petrie
Library Binding (Abdo Publishing Company, Sept. 1, 2006)Through engaging text and full-color photos, readers learn that there are 600 muscles in the human body and that there are three different types of muscles, cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Other topics discussed include tendons, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscles, which make up the walls of blood vessels, the stomach, and intestines and are found in the body's hollow organs. The book explains that cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary muscles, while skeletal muscles are voluntary. Readers discover that every muscle has its own name, including flexors, extensors, abductors, and adductors. Readers also learn that the trapezius and gluteus maximus muscles are examples of muscles that are named for their size, shape, or location. Muscular diseases and the ways to keep muscles healthy, including exercise and a healthy diet are also highlighted. Detailed diagrams, medical models, phonetics, glossary, and index enhance the text.

Greg Roza
Library Binding (Gareth Stevens Pub Learning library, Jan. 1, 2012)Inside this guidebook to the muscular system, readers will learn about the different kinds of muscles and how they function. From your eyes to your toes, muscles help you get things done every day. They help you grab, lift, push, pull, swing, and twist. The muscular system is made up of three different kinds of muscles. Many muscles move by thinking about the movement. Others work constantly without us thinking about them, and these muscles help keep us alive. Easy-to-follow, scientific text is paired with colorful photographs and diagrams to help readers learn about the muscular system.
