what I learned from the muscles song

lyrics to the song: http://www.songsforteaching.com/scienceinsong/muscularsystem.htm 


Yesterday we sung the muscles song and even though it was weird I learned that there are over 600 muscles in our body.  The 3 major kinds of muscles are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.  Muscles attach to bones in the body.  The masseter is in your cheek and it helps you smile and talk.  The trapezius helps you attach your head and your shoulders because it is in the back of your head.  The sternomastoid helps you rotate your head.  Biceps are your arm muscles, I remember this because popeye flexed his biceps.  Deltoids are the muscles that lift your arms.  lattisimus dorsi is the back and gastrocnemius is the calf muscle.  The cardiac muscle is the heart muscle it helps the heart beat.
