Wow, that was a lot of new information!
What do you think about the muscular system so far?
Do you prefer learning about the micro side of things, like how the molecules work together in a sarcomere?
Do you prefer the macro side of things, like the parts we can see without a microscope, such as designing exercises to target specific muscles?
