Skeletal‚ Muscular‚ and Integumentary System The Muscular System Our muscular system provides the main source of force to put our bodies into motion. More than 40% of our body mass is composed of muscle. Types of Muscular Tissue There are three types of muscle tissue: 1. Skeletal Voluntary movement‚ attached to bones. 2. Smooth Involuntary movement‚ found in digestive tract‚ circulatory system‚ etc. 3. Cardiac Involuntary movement‚ found only in heart. Muscle Contraction Skeletal Muscle

I know that skeletal disease pertain to the bones in the body. These can be deadly and limit the ability to move around and have a good‚ solid range of motion. I know that skeletal diseases are treated by orthopedics diagnose and treat disorders with bones and orthopedic surgeons operate on the bones. I would like to know what the range of treatments are based upon the diseases. I also would like to know the statistics on skeletal disease and how common it is within America and other countries‚
