Understanding the Function of Muscles - Our Amazing Muscular System

Our muscles play a vital role in our bodies by helping us move, pump blood, digest food, and breathe. They are made up of muscle fibers and connected to bones by tendons. The muscles work by contracting and relaxing when we move. To keep our muscles healthy, it's important to engage in physical activities like running, playing sports, and consuming a balanced diet. Watch a short film explaining the importance of muscles and how they function in conjunction with our skeletal system.
