The musculo skeletal system is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move‚ it provides stability‚ protection‚ movement and support to the body . It is also made up of bones‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ cartilage‚ joints and other connective tissue that binds tissues and organs together. The musculo skeletals job is to The skeletal system acts like a framework to support vital organs by keeping them place when doing vigourous sports‚ for example the vertebrae acts like a pillar and holds the

+Amendments for D2: Skeletal muscles allows for many different types of muscle contractions such as eccentric‚ concentric‚ isometric and isokinetic. These muscles are voluntary and the contractions produced have a huge impact on Wilkinson’s game. For example when he is striking a ball his quadricep contracts concentrically to produce force onto the ball. The more powerful the muscle the bigger the contraction‚ therefore if Johnny improves the strength of his quadriceps his kicking distance could

The Aging Musculoskeletal System The human musculoskeletal system is the organ system that gives humans the ability to physically move‚ by using the muscles and skeletal system. It consists of the muscular system and the human skeleton. Bones are connected to each other at the joints by ligaments or cartilage and skeletal muscle is attached to bones‚ usually by tendons. Bones mass or density is lost as people age‚ especially in women after menopause. The bone loses calcium and other minerals. Bone

what is muscular dystrophy The muscular dystrophies are a group a group of genetic diseases characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal or voluntary muscles which control movement. The muscles of the heart and some other involuntary muscles are also affected in some forms of muscular dystrophy‚ and a few forms involve other organs as well. History of muscular dystrophy Children’s Hospital Boston has a long history of conducting innovative research on muscular dystrophy

Muscular Dystrophy Muscular Dystrophy is a general term for a number of hereditary‚ degenerative disorders affecting skeletal muscles‚ and often other organs. It is a genetic disease that causes constant degeneration of the muscles. There are over 30 kinds of Muscular Dystrophy. Some forms of Muscular Dystrophy affect involuntary organs like the heart. This muscular disease can be seen in during infancy or may not be known until much later on in life. Muscular Dystrophy is different for each person

The Human Skeletal System Introduction The human skeletal system is comprised of both fused and individual bones; supported and supplemented by ligaments‚ tendons‚ muscles and cartilage. The skeletons purpose is to protect and support the delicate internal organs and provide a framework that allows the body to stand upright and move. It also produces blood cells and stores minerals that our body needs to function effectively. The skeletal system is a very important part of the human body. Without
