The muscle diagram on InnerBody.com shows the entire human body with a number of specific muscles marked by green dots. The two-dimensional interactive map is divided into a number of muscle areas for closer examination. Areas include the head and neck, chest and upper back, leg and foot, and arm and hand.
Muscle tissue is a soft tissue that composes muscles in animal bodies, and gives rise to muscles' ability to contract.This is opposed to other components or tissues in muscle such as tendons or perimysium.It is formed during embryonic development through a process known as myogenesis. Muscle tissue varies with function and location in the body.In mammals the three types are: skeletal or striated muscle; smooth or non-striated muscle; and cardiac muscle, which is sometimes known as semi-striated. Smooth muscle, neither striated in structure nor under voluntary control, is found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bronchi, uterus, urethra, bladder, blood vessels, and the arrector pili in the skin (in which it controls erection of body hair).
