Kids Learning → Human Body → Muscles → What is Muscles

Overview

Muscles are special tissues in our bodies that help us move. They work by contracting and relaxing, which allows us to walk, run, and play. There are three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscles help us move our bones, smooth muscles work in our organs, and cardiac muscles make our hearts beat. Understanding muscles helps us take care of our bodies and stay active.
