CHAPTER XI.
THE MUSCLES.
You are provided by nature with about four hundred muscles. Every one has its special use. They are fastened to the bones, which can only be moved by them. The principal muscles are shown in the figure on page [45].
The muscles are generally found in pairs, so that when motion is produced in one direction, another muscle or group of muscles causes motion in the opposite direction.
VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES.
A voluntary muscle is one which you can control; an involuntary muscle is not subject to your will. Thus, when you move your hand or foot, it is done by a voluntary muscle. Your heart beats without any will of your own, and is therefore, controlled by involuntary muscles.
