This is aimed at level 3 learners to help support the learning of the anatomy and physiology of the muscular system.

1. Introduction to the muscular system
Level 3 BTEC
Week 1
Anatomy & Physiology

2. Session Outcomes
 Identify & discuss the functions of skeletal muscle
tissue
 Label the diagram of the facial muscles to show
the location
 Describe the action of each facial muscle
 Explain the location and action of each of the
facial muscles
 Identify the correct location of one facial muscle
Extension Task
* In pairs discuss and explore techniques that
help with remembering the names of the facial
muscles

3. Skeletal Muscle Tissue

muscle by
placing it in
the correct
area

7. Did we achieve our objectives?
 Identify & discuss the functions of skeletal muscle
tissue
 Label the diagram of the facial muscles to show
the location
 Describe the action of each facial muscle
 Explain the location and action of each of the
facial muscles
Did you correctly identify the location of one facial
muscle?
Extension Task
