Case Study – Musculoskeletal system 1. Disscuss the role of two electrolytes in musculoskeletal function (175 words) The two electrolytes we have chosen are Calcium and Phosphate. Calcium is the main ion contributing for muscle contraction‚ Calcium flood in and act as a trigger for contraction‚ because as calcium binds to the regulatory protein on act in filaments‚ they change their shape and position on the thin elements‚ (Marieb 2009)‚ The phosphate ion‚ participates in acid base balance‚

Case Study #32 Musculoskeletal Disorders 1. An x-ray examination of the thoracic spine reveals osteopenic changes at T7. What does this mean? Osteopenia means that the bone is thinning which could lead to fractures. Bone thinning leads to osteoporosis. Decreased bone density occurs as people age. BMD determines bone strength and it peaks around 25-30 years of age. After these peak years‚ bone breabsorption exceeds bone building which causes a decrease in bone density. Ignatavicius‚ D.‚ D.

Exercise Physiology Responses To Steady-State Exercise Once an athlete has been performing continuous exercise for a period of around 20 minutes‚ their body reaches a steady-state. Continuous exercise includes all forms of exercise that have no stopping periods such as jogging‚ swimming or cycling. Examples of non-continuous exercise would be weight lifting‚ interval training and boxing. Steady state is when the body is working at a steady state it means that lactic acid removal is occurring

The musculoskeletal system helps the body by giving it shape and form. Without bones and muscles‚ a human would not be able to live very long because the bones protect the organs and the muscles help the body move. Although many people go through their whole life without having a single problem with this system‚ there are many diseases that make everyday life seem like just another hurdle they have to get over. A muscle disease is Central Core Disease (CDC). CDC is a rare genetic disease from birth

Musculoskeletal System Whitney Colby HCA/240 August 28‚ 2013 As one gets older there are several things that happen to the musculoskeletal system. For some‚ aging brings about the slowing of things. As this comes about we are more inclined to take short cuts‚ fewer walks‚ and less time at the gym. As we start to avoid favorable activities‚ our muscles grow weak and shrink in size. The lack of physical activity not only takes its toll on our muscles‚ but to our bones as well. Wolff’s law states

Musculoskeletal System A precise perception of the human anatomy is essential for members of the health care team. In order for healthcare professionals to identify problems and treat their clients they must know the human body and how it functions in a healthy state. Because of the complexity of the human body‚ it is impossible to cover every detail about it in a single discussion. However‚ this paper will focus on the musculoskeletal system of the body. This discussion will cover the function

The musculoskeletal system facilitates the bones‚ muscles‚ joints‚ ligaments‚ and tendons needed for movement. The ligaments are attached to bones and muscles are attached to bones by tendons; both are very important when it comes to the movement of the body. The body needs more than a healthy diet to stay active it also needs exercise to keep the muscles in good health as well. Exercise has both short and long term effect on the skeletal system. The short term effect that exercise has is it increases

Hypocapnia and respiratory alkalosis may occur due to the high respiratory rate of an acute asthma exacerbation‚ but prolonged or severe symptoms may cause hypercapnia and metabolic acidosis (Karwat‚ 2002). Chest radiography is often normal; however‚ findings can encounter hyperinflation of the lungs with flattened diaphragm if there is obvious air trapping with the diagnosis of asthma.
