| | Muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Skeletal muscle or "voluntary muscle" is anchored by tendons to bone and is used to affect skeletal movement such as locomotion. | | | Deep muscles, superficial muscles, muscles of the face and internal muscles all correspond with dedicated regions in the brain. | | | The uterus may be the strongest muscle by weight in the human body. |

| | Smooth muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels, tubular organs such as the stomach and uterus, the iris, or associated with the hair follicles. | | | There are 630 muscles in the human body. | | | White muscles contain mostly Type IIB fibers and are specialized for fast, fine movements as in the muscles that move the eye or some hand muscles. |

| | MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Muscle cramps |
| | Muscle cramps are involuntary and often painful contractions of the muscles which produce a hard, bulging muscle. | | | Ordinary muscle cramps are common and may be stopped by stretching the affected muscle. | | | Typically, these contractions only affect individual muscle groups connected to (innervated by) a particular motor neuron. |

| | Muscle Cramps — Information on this common condition of the muscle from MedicineNet.com |
| | A muscle cramp is thus defined as an involuntarily and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax. | | | A muscle (or even a few fibers of a muscle) that involuntarily (without consciously willing it) contracts is called a "spasm." If the spasm is forceful and sustained, it becomes a cramp. | | | When we use the muscles that can voluntarily be controlled, such as those of our arms and legs, they alternately contract and relax as we move our limbs. |

| | A muscle, like the biceps, contracts with varying degrees of force depending on the circumstance (this is also referred to as a graded response). | | | With rapid stimulation (so rapid that a muscle does not completely relax between successive stimulations), a muscle fiber is re-stimulated while there is still some contractile activity. | | | muscle of the viscera (e.g., in walls of blood vessels, intestine, and other 'hollow' structures and organs in the body) |
