Muscular system
Muscular system. Computer artwork of a male figure demonstrating the human muscular system. These muscles, making up one of the outer layers of the body, are skeletal muscles, which are under the conscious control of the brain. They account for around 45% of the weight of the body. Muscles are mainly composed of proteins; in particular, the proteins actin and myosin are involved in making muscles contract. The muscles then pull on tendons that are attached to the bones of the skeleton, producing movements of limbs such as the arms and legs. Skin and fat cover the muscles, while the internal organs and bones lie underneath

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the human muscular system. Through computer artwork, a striking male figure demonstrates the complexity and strength of our skeletal muscles. These remarkable muscles, which form one of the outer layers of our body, are consciously controlled by our brain. Astonishingly, they contribute to approximately 45% of our body weight. Proteins play a vital role in muscle composition, with actin and myosin being key players in muscle contraction. As these muscles contract, they exert force on tendons that connect them to the bones within our skeleton. This coordinated effort produces graceful movements in our limbs such as those seen in arms and legs. While skin and fat provide a protective covering for these powerful muscles, it is fascinating to note that underneath lie essential internal organs and sturdy bones that support us every day. The illustration portrays an adult male in perfect health with well-defined musculature. Its graphic representation offers valuable insight into the anatomical structure of this crucial bodily system. This awe-inspiring image from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of both the elegance and resilience inherent within each individual's muscular framework – an extraordinary testament to nature's design prowess.
