Our body contains many different parts and different functions. Each body function is essential and when all of them are put together, it’s a perfect combination. The function of the body is fascinating and quite amazing to see how our body can cooperate with one another. Our body is like a team that works together. One of these organ system is the muscular system. The muscular system is responsible for movement. Some jobs that the muscular system does is that the nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the digestive tract, the brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle, and receptors in muscles provide the brain with information about body position and movement. Three organs that involve the muscular system
This system consists of both the skeletal and muscular system. They work together in unison to help our body produce movement, stabilize bones and give the body support, and pump blood cells. The bones have skeletal muscles that help produce movement. With the joints they act like fulcrums while the bones and muscles work and act like a lever. Depending on how close or far away of the load to the joint make the bones and muscles create a mechanical advantage or disadvantage when lifting an object. The bone that is stationary is the skeletal system. The skeletal muscles are attached by bones by tendons which help move the body. The tendon is a strong tissue used to produce movement. It doesn't stretch. Most of the time the tendon fastens a muscle to a bone. For example, the muscle on the upper part of the arm, is known as the biceps, is pulled together by a tendon to the bones just below the elbow. When the biceps becomes shorter, the tendon holds fast and pulls up the lower arm. On the back of the arm is triceps. When the muscle contracts, it pulls and straightens the arm. This is how a person is able to walk, raise and lower the head, and much more. The bone marrow produces leukocytes and erythrocytes while the muscular system pumps it out to the cells in the body. Now the skeletal system and muscular system gives our body our shape and stability. The muscles in the muscular system like the skeletal muscles and tendons help the bones in the skeletal system have their for a and shape so they would not fall and collapse. These are the interactions of both the skeletal and muscular
Chapter 13 talks about the muscular system and the way that it is works together with the skeletal system and other systems in our body. It also explains the ways our muscles contract and move and what processes are going on in within our muscles when we work each one of them. The chapter also talks about disorders that can happen within our muscles and the way they affect our life. What I found most surprising in the chapter was reading the box that talked about botox ad wrinkles. It was shocking to read that the toxin used for botox is one of the most lethal substances and yet people are voluntarily putting it in their body. Another thing that surprised me to know was that the same substance had also been approved to treat migraine headaches.
2. The Skeletal and Muscular systems - The skeletal system’s goal is to give the body posture. However, the muscular system connects to the bone and helps move the arm. For example, Biceps and triceps connect to the shoulder and the radius and ulna to lift and lower your arm. In order for proper function, your body must only contract either the biceps or triceps at once. Additionally, the biceps and triceps would lie limp without the support from the bone. This is because the muscle can only constrict and relax. For this reason, they can’t move any limb without bones.
system is to provide movement for the body. The muscular system consist of three different
The musculoskeletal involves the muscles and skeletal system which consist of bones supporting the bodyweight. The muscles and bones help in movement and maintaining body position through the physiological process of contraction and relaxation, muscles pulling on the bones. The skeletal systems also consist of cartilages and ligaments important for bone connection and stability with connective tissue. The muscles get attached to the bone by the connective tissue enhancing contraction and relaxation in movement. The muscles contain long muscle fibers responsible for the contraction and relaxation. The fibers contain bundles some of which allow slow movement described as slow twitch and fast twitch which ensure fast movement. The process of movement involves coordination between the musculoskeletal system and nervous system. In the process of muscle contraction to enhance movement the following takes place. (Arthur Guyton, 2006)
Muscular system – The muscle system is just that – muscles. Muscles, with the support of the skeletal system, are what makes humans walk, run, or grab and lift thing by contracting and working together with other muscles and body parts. d. Nervous system – The nervous system is the fast-acting message center for the brain and spinal cord to nerves and other parts of the body. When you think to jump, this is what tells your brain and your muscles when and where to jump. Like the integumentary system, it also senses and regulates body temperature on the outside, but the nervous system also regulates and detects internal temperatures.
The nervous system is made up of three vital parts; the brain, spinal cord and nerves. This system controls everything we do from breathing, to running to making our heartbeat fast or slow. The nervous system is very complicated although it can be broken down into smaller components.
Skeletal muscle contractions play a pivotal role in our day-to-day lives. Their main function is to generate force and provide our bodies with structural integrity. For many of us, muscle contractions seem effortless, but there’s actually quite a bit going on under the surface. Our muscles are composed of sarcomeres, units of skeletal muscle fibers, which are made up of actin and myosin contractile filaments. These filaments need to bind to each other in order to lengthen and shorten the sarcomere. However, the binding sites for actin and myosin are blocked by troponin and tropomyosin proteins. In order to get them off of the binding sites, calcium needs to bind to the troponin, which then lifts
The musculoskeletal system is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move, using the muscular and skeletal systems. It provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. The musculoskeletal system is made up of the body's bones (the skeleton), muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. Its primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs. Most importantly, the system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. For example, the bones of the skeletal system protect the body's internal organs and support the weight of the body. The skeletal portion of the system serves as the main storage depot
The human muscular system is made up of over 600 connecting muscles. All of the muscles work together in sync to make your body move in inumerable different ways.
Russia is the largest territorial nation on earth. Also it is the most populous northern most nation. These two facts: the huge size and diversity of Russia and the extremely cold climate have contributed greatly to the imperial expansion of Russia. Because of the extreme cold of the far northern regions of Russia, in the 15th century the country began by building up the land around Moscow, St. Petersburg regions, centered on the Kola Peninsula. As the imperialist expansion of Russia grew the population centers remained in the central region and along the southern border of the country. This is because the trans-Siberian railroad was used to move industry to the far east of the country. Even today because of the extreme cold and permafrost
Every system of the human body is important, but the systems are all accounted for different functions. The movement of the body is one of the main responsibilities a muscular system has. However, without the basic unit of muscle structure called sarcomere, the muscles would not be able to contract or become relaxed. Sarcomeres are structural components of myofibril that are in striated muscle tissues, which consist of three called the skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and the smooth muscle. Sacromeres are what is found in the interaction between myosin and actin filaments. Furthermore, without the formation of the muscular tissue called myogenesis then there would be no muscles or contractions of the body system. These next few paragraphs
There around 700 muscles in your body that make up half of your body weight. Muscles are responsible for movement throughout the body, using contractions, like contracting the lungs for breathing. Besides movement, organs of the muscular system manage posture, provide strength, balance, and heat for maintaining body temperature. The main organs in the muscular system, are visceral or smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and skeletal muscles. Each muscle is made up skeletal muscle tissue, blood tissue, tendons, and nerves. The different organs each have a specific purpose and function. Visceral muscles are found in organs like the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. They make organs contract to move substances through the organ.. Cardiac muscles
Skeletal muscle is the major reservoir of the body proteins and represents 50% of the total body weight. Their function is to provide the body movement, strength, respiration, balance, posture and to regulate the temperature (Lenk et al., 2010).
The importance of the dissection performed in class was to better understand the importance and the structures of the muscular system. The muscular system contains skeletal muscles, this is what helps the body function every day. Skeletal muscles are the correlation between muscles and bones that work together in the body. Fibers tighten in the body, allowing the skeletal muscle to create movement within the skin; this is made up of connective tissue and skeletal muscle tissue. These muscle tissues are found throughout the body with different characteristics and correlations with one another.
