The musculoskeletal system are made up of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. The skeleton shapes up the body, protects the internal organs, is responsible for blood cell formation, and provides sites for muscle attachment. The muscles holds the skeleton straight and creates physical movement of the body. The skeletal system consists of bones formed from bone tissue that provide structure and function to the overall body. Also included in the skeletal system is the cartilage that forms the joints between bones and the ligaments that hold bones together at the joints. Bones can be split into long bones (arms, legs, hands, and feet), short bones (wrist, ankles, and knee caps), flat bones (ribs, sternum, shoulder blades, hip bones, and cranial …show more content…
Compact bone is the thick, hard tissue found in the shafts of long bones. Yellow marrow, which is composed of fat, is stored in these bones. Spongy bone, is less thick and is found at the ends of long bones and in the other bones of the body. The muscular system holds the body upright and moves the skeletal system. Muscles have particular cells for contraction wherein they shorten and pull a bone to produce movement. Muscle movement creates heat that regulate body temperature. There are three types of muscles. Skeletal muscle is also called voluntary muscle because it is attached to the skeleton and its movement is consciously controlled. The cells of this type of muscle are lengthened and have the ability to stretch and return to their previous shape. Smooth muscle is also called involuntary because it is found in the walls of organs and its function is not consciously controlled. This type of muscle has shorter cells with tapered ends and cannot stretch as much as skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. This muscle is a combination of skeletal and smooth muscle. It is involuntarily controlled but has the ability to …show more content…
The most common cause of gastric reflux is periodic relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter. This exposes the easily damaged squamous mucosa of the oesophagus to acid. Sign and symptoms of GORD is that heartburn something Mrs. Ruben would of experienced which is a feeling of discomfort that develops in your chest. Also Mrs. Ruben would of experience is regurgitation which is when the acid goes up into your throat and mouth and gives an unpleasant sour taste in your mouth. Mrs. Ruben would have experienced difficulty in swallowing
The skeletal system is made up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues, that is, they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells, the gelatin the support material for matrix, and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances, we can produce a material that is very hard like bone and can withstand weight or softer like cartilage which can be used as a cushioning material.

The musculoskeletal system provides support for the body as it provides protection, protecting the body from any possible damage. The limbs of the body, e.g. arms, legs, hips and shoulders help support and keep the body held up. Many other bones support different parts of the body such as the rib cage supports and protects all the organs which are located inside the rib cage, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys and others. The shape of the skeleton allows us to cope with
The skeletal system works as the frame of the body and it is made up of two hundred and six various bones. The Sections used in the movements of the skeletal system are; the bones, Joints, ligaments and tendons. This system is also divided into two sections known as the Axial and Appendicular skeleton.
Introduction. The skeletal system consists of the bones, along with the cartilage and fibrous connective tissue that make up the ligaments that connect bones to bone at joints.
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
There are three types of muscle tissues in the human body: skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are striated muscles that attach to the bone by tendons and permit movement. Skeletal muscles promote movement by contracting and relaxing in response to voluntary messages from the nervous system, deeming skeletal muscles, the only voluntary muscles in the human body. Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles found inside the walls of the stomach,
GERD is another name for heartburn. There is a backflow of gastric and duodenal content that past the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) into the esophagus. As reflux of gastric acid causes acute epigastric pain after eating a meal. The pain can radiate to the person arm and then chest. The LES usually retains sufficient pressure around the lesser end of the esophagus to close it and prevent reflex. As the sphincter relaxes with each swallow, the food empty into the stomach. High acidity in the stomach triggers irritation and pain as the content enters the esophagus causing reflux esophagitis. In GERD, the sphincter is open, due to incompetent LES pressure or increase pressure within the stomach exceeds LES pressure. The pressure in the stomach propels the content into the esophagus.
The frame work of our entire skeletal system is called the skeleton and it comprises mostly of bones. Bones are inflexible and strong providing structure and support to our body, without which we would be just another huge blob on the floor! Bones also provide the structure for muscles to attach so that our bodies are able to move about easily for which all the bones in out body link to form joints that permit proper movement. Our skeleton also protects out internal organs from getting damaged easily by providing a protective cover around it. A fully grown human skeleton consists of 206 bones whereas a new born baby has around 300-350 parts.
Commonly known as heartburn or reflux, is a condition where reflux of the gastric content into the oesophagus leads to symptoms which significantly impact a person's quality of life. Gastroesophageal reflux disease gerd is the most prevalent acid related disorder and is associated with significant impairment of health-related quality of life. Gastroesophageal reflux disease gerd occurs when acid and food in the stomach back up into the esophagus.Gerd often occurs when the lower muscle (sphincter) of the esophagus does not close properly. The sphincter normally opens to let food into the stomach. It then closes to keep food and stomach acid in the stomach. If the sphincter does not close properly, stomach acid and food back up (reflux) into the esophagus. The following may increase your risk for gerd. Gerd may be associated with several extra esophageal syndromes such as chronic cough, asthma, laryngitis, oropharyngeal ulceration and dental erosions. Available evidence indicates that therapy response rates in gerd are related to the degree of acid suppression achieved. Having an appropriate discussion with a physician is key to understanding the condition, available treatment options and the degree to which acid suppression can be achieved.
2. What does each structure contribute to the functioning of the whole skeletal system and the whole body?
The framework of the human body is the skeletal system. Skeletal system organs include the bones, joints, cartilages, ligaments, tendons and teeth. Bones offer support for the muscles, protect our vital organs, and allow us to eat food. Our joints allow our body to move, twist and bend. Cartilage, like our ears and nose, offer soft structures that are more malleable than bones. Two separate bones are connected by ligaments, and bones and muscles are connected by tendons. Our teeth allow us to bite and chew our food. Skeletal structure is similar among all people around the world, with the greatest diversity occurring between the sexes. We will explore each system in greater detail and provide
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder that affects the lower esophageal sphincter or the ring between esophagus and the stomach. (Cold et al., 2017) Dietary and lifestyle choices contribute to GERD. Foods such as chocolate, peppermint, fried foods, coffee, and alcoholic beverages can cause GERD. GERD is caused by stomach acid moving up into the esophagus. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) signs and symptoms might be pain in the chest that has a burning feeling. This happens after eating most of the time. Other symptoms could be heartburn, nausea, dry cough or a bitter taste. These symptoms can or may get worse when laying down. -Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) - One of the tests that can be administered
Skeletal bone is a dynamic tissue structure that constantly undergoes changes and remodeling throughout someone’s lifespan. Skeletal bones is a mechanical support for locomotion and protecting the organs. Muscle tendons and ligaments insert onto the bone. It is only present in vertebrates.
The musculoskeletal system is a made up of the muscular system and the skeletal system. The skeletal system provides the internal framework for the body, it protects the organs by enclosing it and anchors skeletal muscles so that the muscles can contract thus causing movement. The skeleton is divided into two divisions: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 94). The Axial skeleton are the bones that have formed the longitudinal axis of the body which is made up of the skull, the vertebral column and the thoracic cage (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 98). The Appendicular skeleton are the bones of limbs and griddles that are attached to the axial skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 103).
