I've moved the muscle fiber type discussion to its own page, and have removed it from this page. I hope this is OK with folks. I did this for two main reasons - first, muscle fiber types seem to be a relatively off-topic item in a discussion of the entire musclar system, and second, the muscle page also had a description of fiber types. Thus, it seemed better to simply create a page on fiber types to deal with them, and remove the content from the other pages. Enjoy! --Mperkins 03:17, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Musco-Skeletal System

in none of my schooling on human anatomy, the muscular and skeletal systems were never considered a single system seeing as this is still only a stub, shouldn't they be merged until there is more info on this? Jds10912 01:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge to muscle

Merge - I think this article should be merged to the muscle entry - the title is more obscure and since it doesn't deal exclusively with biomechanics, there's not much point in having a separate entry. The muscle entry is much larger, and it deals with all three types of muscles. Plus, it looks like the muscle entry has almost exactly the same information, but in greater detail. Move the muscular system content that isn't duplicated over, then put in a redirect on this page. WLU 13:38, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

The muscualar system is more specific -- dealing specifically with human -- and the predominating style is that each human biological system has its own seperate page. See: bottom of the page, Urinary System, et al. 71.195.171.5 18:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Vote against muscle should not be merged with muscular system any more than heart should be merged with cariac system. There is tons of information that could be included in muscles. Force-length curves, force-velocity curves, histology, myosin bands, etc. Muscular system should deal with more global things like control, lever-arms skeletal-muscular interations, etc.

[edit] ask

can i ask? whats the function os muscular system and its cells?

Reply: To move the body. The primary function of all muscles is to generate force, though they are also used to generate heat. WLU 12:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Reverted page to rectify vandalism SahirShah 02:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

so who?? and why the diff. kinds of muscles named??? where did he base those names??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.52.21.97 (talk) 12:38, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Don't you think an anatomical picture of muscle from say Gray's anatomy or any university level textbook would be more appropriate than a picture of a bodybuilder in this entry? The tone of the article requires a more suitable picture IMO. See here or here for example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.140.6.250 (talk • contribs)

The article could use both as the anatomical diagrams are not as good at showing what muscles look like on a real human being. However, we are limited in the images available - see WP:IMAGE, we can't just pull images off the 'net and post 'em. WLU 13:30, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

This article should have anatomical diagrams as it reads like something from an A+P textbook. I fail to see how the first linked picture does not adequately display muscle fibers and place them relative to their position on the body. Put it this way: if this wikipedia page was found in a textbook, there wouldn't be a picture of a random bodybuilder in it, but rather one that properly illustrates the related text. I understand that you can't randomly link pictures, but surely there is a free license pic of muscle fibers somewhere on the web, or at least something better than the current picture.

I agree, the page should have an anatomical diagram, though a picture of a person with a highly visible muscular system is also appropriate. Feel free to find such a diagram on Wikimedia Commons or another fair use image and add it to the page. Don't forget to sign your posts. WLU 18:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] heading structure

The structure of the muscles heading is confusing me. The section on skeletal muscles has 2 subheadings and I'm not sure if those two headings belong outside of the muscles section. It seems like the section should be devoted to the types of muscles. Olleicua (talk) 15:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
