Theme song

Movie shows all of us in lab coats with a clipboard

Olivia walks in on Jeff and Derek on the computer O: Guess what case we have today Jeff:I don't know... Derek: I don't really care but let's hear it...

O: A 6 year old boy was shooting baskets....interrupted Jeff: And?!?!?!?!?!? O: You guys will like this case because he collapsed in front of his neighbor and had a seizure Jeff and Derek: Now it's interesting!  Derek: We'll need consent before.... Jeff: I'll handle that... O: Before we can go into the muscles with the micro camera. While we're here, we wanna know a little about the muscular system before we do anything. J: All I know is that the muscles help you move, and that the muscular system goes hand in hand with the skeletal system D: And that there are 3 types of muscle. O: Those are both things that we might need. Do you guys know anything about the way muscles move or contract? D: Yes, but I am still iffy on the details. I'll get back to you guys on that. Later in the high tech room....

Jeff: I got the consent, so let's go inside. O: OK we're inside the body muscle system starting out with the cardiac muscle Jeff: This is totally Derek: AWESOME! O: I know it's cool, but before we go out to find out what's wrong, we need some background info. Jeff pulls out a clip board: Well all the info we have is that he had a seizure

All: Let's explore the different muscles of the body

O: Well, there are over 600 muscles total in the body, and three different types of muscle. Smooth, skeletal, and cardiac. Jeff: I get smooth muscle

Derek: Aww shoot I wanted that one. Oh well I get the skeletal...

O: OK, that leaves cardiac for me. Alright then, let's go to smooth first. Lead the way Jeff. (we are all running, following Jeff to the smooth muscle)

SMOOTH J: Woot!!!!!! were here in the smooth muscle D: where are we exactly in the body..... O: We are in the large intestine J: That's right because the smooth muscle is located on the horzontal layer of most of the internal organs.

SKELETAL D: Who hoo! That was an awesome ride in the stomach! O: Ugh! I think I am going to be sick! J: Olivia! I'm surprised at you! It is not polite to throw up in somebody else's body! O: Shut up Jeff, before I beat you up like I did with Derek! D: It's true! J: Okay, either way, Derek please lead us to our next destination, the skeletal muscle. D: Okeday! Lets go to abdominal muscles, because they are closer to our final destination. Later D: Okay, now that we are here, I can tell you everything you'll ever... J: Just get on with it, or I'll shove you down the esophagus. D: Moving on. Skeletal muscle is so cool, because you can actually control it, you don't just do it unconsciously. O: That's cool! J: An other awesome thing about skeletal muscle is that it is attached to bones by tendons, you actually move when you use them. D: Hey! You're right! Hey! This is my muscular system, so don't steal my thunder! <span style="color: rgb(39,134,185);">O: Stop fighting right now, or only one of us is coming out alive. And I'd bet money on it that it's a female! D: I CALL IT! Stare J: Shut up @$$%0(# <span style="color: rgb(39,134,185);">O: Guys! D: The skeletal muscle has the most muscle tissue in the body. More than cardiac and smooth muscle combined. J: Your point? O: (threatens us with fist) We have been talking a lot about contraction and expansion, but do our viewers really know the exact science? D: Ooh! Ooh! That's my specialty! But I don't think that our viewers. S I'll tell the simpler version. J: Just like you! D: Shut up Jeff that wasn't even funny. First of, imagin we are down to microscopic size. Behind us, there is a long filiment, twords the top. J: Oh yea, I know this, I hear Derek practicing in the bathroom. O: Why do you listen to Derek while he is on the pot? D: I find it soothing. stare O: Jeff, why don't you finnish up muscel contraction for us. J: Okay. Now, right below it is what looks like a little stick sticking up at a 45 degree angle to the left. Now, muscle movement End of skeletal <span style="color: rgb(39,134,185);">O: Ok, so now we are going to the cardiac muscle CARDIAC <span style="color: rgb(39,134,185);">O: Here we are in the cardiac muscle. D: Where are we? <span style="color: rgb(39,134,185);">O: We are in the heart. This is the only place in the body where cardiac muscle is found. That's one of the things that makes the cardiac muscle so special. J: Cardiac muscle is not special. It's... it's D: It's unspecial. (J looks at D like "wow". D doesn't understand what he said and is confused) <span style="color: rgb(39,134,185);">O: Cardiac muscle is special and unique in a lot of ways. With skeletal and smooth muscle, they are found in many different organs. Cardiac muscle is only here in the heart. J: Ok so what else? <span style="color: rgb(39,134,185);">O: Cardiac muscle doesn't get tired. It keeps working all the time. D: It doesn't get a rest ever? <span style="color: rgb(39,134,185);">O: Nope. This muscle never stops contracting. It may change speeds, but never stops. J: What is it doing the entire time that it's contracting? What does your body need that much that it never stops? <span style="color: rgb(39,134,185);">O: The contractions that are going on are your heartbeats. They keep a steady rythym to keep you alive. The heartbeats also pump blood throughout the different parts of your body. Without the cardiac muscle, you would die. <span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">D: Wow, muscles do a lot for our body. J: And we didn't even know it. O: The body is an amazing thing. It does so much stuff for us that we don't even recognize. Parents would say it's like the ultimate child. Does everything without them saying or doing anything.
