Musculoskeletal System Analysis

There are six primary movements that occur at the joints between the body segment; flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction.

Since the day you were born, your bones have been supporting you. With age and conditions such as osteoporosis, however, these once strong, healthy bones begin gradually deteriorating. Fortunately, OsteoStrong of St. Louis in Creve Coeur, Missouri, will help you strengthen your bones and muscles, so you can live well.

The skeletal muscles connect to the bones and work with connective tissues at the joints to allow for movement.

If you consider the first action as the knee bending, the hamstrings would be called the agonists and the quadriceps femoris would then be called the

The aspects of this system that were of particular interest to me was the skeleton. It is extremely fascinating to see how 206 bones come together to form this framework of the human body, which makes up to approximately 20% of our overall body mass. It offers the body an ‘infrastructure’ site for other bones, tissue or muscle to attach itself to (Main 2010). For instance, the ribs attach itself posterior the spine to protect the lungs and heart. Additionally, the spinal cord is comprised of 26 bones and is estimated to measuring up to 40 to 50cm long (Dafny 2015). Each of the five regions of the vertebral column, excluding the coccyx, curves in a specific way to provide flexibility to the body. The bones of the column gradually become larger

For individuals to qualify for Social Security, the person must first have worked in jobs covered by Social Security. Also, the person must have a medical condition that meets Social Security's definition of disability. For exam, Musculoskeletal System impairment may qualify for SSD. Musculoskeletal System is in category 1.01 of impairments. Musculoskeletal System impairment is a disorder of the musculoskeletal system may result from hereditary, congenital, or acquired pathologic processes. Impairments may result from infectious, inflammatory, or degenerative processes, traumatic or developmental events, or neoplastic, vascular, or toxic/metabolic diseases etc. (SS, 2017).

This type of muscle is the most prominent muscle throughout the muscular system in vertebrates. These types of muscles are affixed to bones by tissue called tendons, their main role is to provide movement of the bones by contracting and relaxing. The way this works is in antagonistic pairs. An example of an antagonistic pair is in the arm. The bicep muscle contracts when the arm is lifted, pulling the bone up while the tricep muscle relaxes. However when the arm is lowered, the bicep muscles relaxes and the tricep muscle contracts, pulling the bone down. The muscle that contracts is known as the agonist, it provides a force which completes the movement so when the arm is lifted, the bicep is the agonist but when the arm is lowered, the tricep

The musculoskeletal system is a combination of the muscular and skeletal systems working as one and includes the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body. Acute exercise lasts for the length of a training session. During this time our bodies respond to the physical stress of the activity in lots of different ways. These are called acute responses. Acute responses are immediate responses to exercise, such as an increase in heart rate as there is a higher demand for oxygenated blood around the body, the body temperature will also increase. The musculoskeletal system allows and enables the body to move through a system of muscles, bones, tendons, cartilage and ligaments. The body moves through different muscular contractions, these contractions are performed using the nervous system; every muscle has an insertion in a bone, therefore when the muscle contracts the bone is pulled towards the muscle contracting at the time. A response the musculoskeletal system has to acute exercise is an increase in need of oxygen; this means that an increase in blood flow is needed so the muscle can get enough oxygen so they keep working efficiently. The way the body gets blood to pump around the body faster is that the left ventricle gets larger so more blood can be pump each time, the heart will also pump blood faster and the capillaries will dilate which allows more blood to flow through them. Muscles are more able to stretch and become more elasticated when warm, this is known as their pliability, and this helps to reduce the risk of injury or tight muscle

The aging process has a negative impact on the musculoskeletal system. During the aging process bone density and mass decreases resulting in high risk for fractures and falls. Muscles lose their mass, bulk, and tone which causes weakness. Abnormalities of this system along with pain affects activities of daily living. Some questions that may be asked during this assessment are; Have you had previous joint, muscle or bone problem? Does joint, muscle or bone problem affect your daily activity? Do you have pain? (if yes) Where do you have pain? What aggravates the pain? Have you had any surgery? Pertinent assessment for this patient are postural abnormality, limited range of motion, gait, and balance. The patient is observed laterally and posteriorly

In Knowledge you have been looking at body systems and how they work together to achieve complex sporting movements. Over the next 3 weeks you will be testing and training one of these systems to determine the effect training can have of the Health and function of this systems. The energy system that I will be using is the ATP-CP and the muscular system which allows me to do these exercises.

It is know that the musculoskeletal physiology is different for men and women, with women generally having less muscle mass and bone mass. It is also know that when astronauts come back to Earth after a mission they experience change in the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal system due to the unloading of microgravity. One article I found talks about the effect of gender and sex on adaption to space. It is noted that beyond 2 weeks of unloading, women experience greater loss in whole muscle volume and fiber area, mainly type II fiber. At the same time, type I fiber loss is shown with preferential atrophy in both men and women (Ploutz-Snyder et al., 2014). Decreased muscle mass or atrophy results from protein degradation induced by unloading.

Not only are there damages to the immune system of the human body, but the musculoskeletal system is also at a very large risk for injury, even from the seat of a chair. German Researcher, T. Hettinger, “analyzed statistics on sick leave and found that musculoskeletal problems among administrative workers were higher than in any other industrial sector, and similar to those in construction, metal industry and transport” (Cranz, 2000, p. 98). This is saying that people who are working office jobs, which mainly comprise of sitting for extended periods of time compared to industrial jobs (heavy labor), consist of a similar amount of people taking sick days due to injuries to their muscular system. However, one would assume that someone

Synergist –this type of muscle works with another muscle to create a movement also like antagonistic pair muscles except as one muscle contracts another muscle does not necessarily relax to help flex

This essay will talk about how different features of the musculoskeletal system functioning in terms of movement, support and load bearing, the factors which affect tensions in developed muscle and different roles of muscle and their roles in movement. The first part to start with is to understand what musculoskeletal system is and the function of it. The basic function of musculoskeletal system is to support the human body, allow movement, support and protect organs, it also known as the loco-motor system. The system is formed by bones, cartilage, ligaments, muscles, tendons, joints and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The skeletal part of the system works as storage system for calcium and phosphorus. It is essential for bones to regulate mineral balance in the bloodstream, and then the variation of minerals is high, these minerals are stored in bone; when it is low, minerals are withdrawn from the bone. The skeleton system has a critical relationship with blood production (hematopoietic) system. The hematopoietic system locates in long bones and there are two distinctions of bone marrow. The yellow marrow has fatty connective tissue, the body uses the fat in yellow marrow for energy; the red marrow is important for blood cell production. The bones also provide stability to the body; muscles keep bones in place and also play a role in movement of the bones. When movement happens, different bones are connected by joints and
