Muscular System mind maps

Muscular system mind maps

These user-made maps range from muscle types and tissue to the muscles of the back and abdominal wall. Some focus on a process or feature, such as The sliding filament theory or Slow and fast skeletal muscle fibres.

Choose a starting point

Start with Muscle Types for a comparison of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle, including their function, location and structure. Then open Skeletal muscle structure for a closer look at that topic. Muscles of the Back is an option when you want to focus on a body region.

Revise with maps

Follow the connections in a map, then try to recall its main points without looking. Return to the sections you want to review. When you want to check your recall with questions, switch to a quiz on the Muscular System unit page; flashcards are another option for shorter review sessions. Choose a topic and begin with a map.
