...describe the ways in which the muscular system contributes to homeostasis
...apply your understanding of the muscular system
Essential Questions:
Beyond movement, how do our muscles contribute to homeostasis?
How do the structures of each type of muscle contribute to their functions?
L1: What is happening on a cellular through a molecular level that makes muscle contraction possible?
