The muscular and skeletal systems play a very important role in the body. They help each other perform functions for the entire body. The muscular system and the skeletal system are the basis of the body structure. The muscular system generally produces movement. The skeletal basically provides the necessary support for these systems to work together. The skeletal system has many organs. Some organs include bones‚ cartilage‚ and ligaments. Teeth are also considered a part of the skeletal system

Anatomists deal with the structure (morphology) of the body parts. This includes the shapes‚ forms‚ and placement of body organs and appendages. Physiologists deal with the functions of body parts‚ what the body parts do‚ and how this is accomplished. 3. How does a biological structure’s form determine its

particles that may be ingested more easily. Pharynx — allows the passage of both food and air. Esophagus — tube that leads to the stomach. Esophagus The esophagus is the tube or gullet connecting the mouth to the stomach. It lies in front of the vertebral column and behind the trachea (breathing tube) and heart. Stomach Food remains in the stomach for 3 to 4 hours. During this time it is further broken down by the muscular churning action of the stomach. Powerful

Vertebral Compression Fracture (Thoracic) Overview- The spine is made up of bones called vertebrae. A vertebra can crack just like any other bone in the body. When the vertebral body collapses‚ this is called a vertebral compression fracture. These fractures occur more frequently in the thoracic spine (the central portion of the spine)‚ in particular in the lower part. These fractures are generally caused by a condition such as osteoporosis‚ a very hard fall‚ or another type of injury. Causes- The

IN HUMANS are two bean-shaped - about 4 inches long and about 2 ½ inches wide organs called kidneys which are located near the vertebral column at the small of the back . The main function of the kidneys are to purify the blood by separating urea‚ mineral salts‚ toxins and other waste products from it. Nature has so provided every human being a set of 2 kidneys so that blood purification runs on smoothly; one kidney assisting
