Muscular system - Free Printable

Let's solve this worksheet step by step.

---

Task:

"Put each word in the correct place."

We are given:
- A diagram of the human muscular system.
- A paragraph with blanks to fill in.
- A list of muscle names at the bottom:
Deltoids, Quadriceps, Abs, Biceps, Pectorals

And three words at the top:
muscles, move, quadriceps — these seem to be for the paragraph.

---

Step 1: Fill in the paragraph

> "The muscular system allows us to ______. It is made of ______. Some muscles are biceps, pectorals, abs, deltoids and ______."

Let’s analyze:

1. "allows us to ______" → The muscular system enables movement. So, the correct word is move.

2. "It is made of ______" → The system is made of muscles.

3. "Some muscles are biceps, pectorals, abs, deltoids and ______" → We’re listing examples. The last one must be quadriceps, since it’s the only one not already listed.

✔ So the completed paragraph becomes:

> "The muscular system allows us to move. It is made of muscles. Some muscles are biceps, pectorals, abs, deltoids and quadriceps."

Step 2: Label the diagram

Now, match the labels (Deltoids, Quadriceps, Abs, Biceps, Pectorals) to the correct parts of the body shown in the diagram.

Let’s identify each based on the arrows:

1. Top arrow pointing to shoulder area → This is the deltoids (shoulder muscles).
2. Arrow pointing to upper chest → This is the pectoralis major or pectorals.
3. Arrow pointing to front of arm → This is the biceps (upper arm).
4. Arrow pointing to abdomen → This is the abs (abdominal muscles).
5. Arrow pointing to front of thigh → This is the quadriceps.

So, from top to bottom, the boxes should be filled as:

1. Deltoids
2. Pectorals
3. Biceps
4. Abs
5. Quadriceps

✔ Final Answer:

#### Paragraph:
- First blank: move
- Second blank: muscles
- Third blank: quadriceps

#### Diagram Labels (from top to bottom):
1. Deltoids
2. Pectorals
3. Biceps
4. Abs
5. Quadriceps

🔍 Explanation:

- The muscular system is responsible for movement.
- It consists of muscle tissue, which contracts to produce motion.
- Major muscle groups include:
- Deltoids: shoulders
- Pectorals: chest
- Biceps: front of upper arm
- Abs: abdominal wall
- Quadriceps: front of thighs

This worksheet helps students learn both the function of the muscular system and the location of major muscles.
