Parts of Nervous System. Nervous System: Nervous system is the chief controlling and coordinating system of the body. It controls and regulates all activities of the body, whether voluntary or involuntary, and adjusts the individual (organism) to the given surroundings.
1.Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones. Smooth muscles line up the visceral organs viz. Intestines,blood vessels,pupils etc (therefore also known as visceral muscles.) 2.Skeletal muscles perform voluntary actions. Smooth muscles are responsible for involuntary reflexes and actions.
Your body is composed of three types of muscle: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle makes up 40 percent of your total body weight, and smooth muscle and cardiac muscle each make up 5 percent of total body weight.Your muscles must contract in order to facilitate vital bodily functions.lthough skeletal muscles and smooth muscles serve very different functions, both muscle groups use the same mechanism of contraction called the sliding filament model.
