Everything in the body is connected in some way. Each part functions for a specific reason, whether it is to produce movement, organize, communicate, etc. While there are some parts of the body we can live without, most parts are there for a reason. Without those necessary parts, disease, disabilities, or even death can occur. The musculoskeletal system is a great example of how the body works together to function properly. The system is responsible for providing support, stability, form, and movement to the body. It consists of the bones of the skeleton, cartilage, ligaments, joints, tendons, and muscles. Each part of the musculoskeletal system is intertwined and work together to form a fully functioning system. To show this is true, I will …show more content…
Form and function are essentially what make up anatomy and physiology. Anatomy focuses on the structure of the body. Physiology focuses on how the parts of the body function. With that said, it is important to understand how they work together in specific aspects of the body. A muscle fiber is structurally organized to produce tension by pulling on the tendons of the body. Depending on the direction and amount of pull there is on the tendon depends on how much force is exerted and the angle it is exerted at. Bone matrix can provide flexibility and compressive strength at the same time because they have more than one function. Bone matrix is the makeup of bone tissues that consist of collagen fibers. Without bone matrix, the makeup of the bones in the body itself would not be functioning or complete. The reason we can be flexible is because of the collagen fibers in our bones. Cartilage on the other hand is what allows us to resist compression and provide compressive strength. The flexibility and compressive strength aspect intertwine in working together to be able to perform both tasks. Another aspect of form and function to focus on is how joint structure affects strength specifically resistance to dislocation and flexibility (type and range of motion). The way a joint is set up allows a certain range of motion. The range of motion the joint allows is what usually people base peoples flexibility on. The range of …show more content…
It is important to look at how that relates specifically to the musculoskeletal system. Looking mainly at how cells are the foundation of structure and function is a clearer understanding before diving into how it relates specifically to how bone cells work together to produce, repair, and remodel bone matrix. Looking at the first assignment I wrote about on this guiding principle, I explained that when cells come together, tissues form. The tissues that form then come together to perform specific functions. The tissues that form and come together are what produce, repair, and remodel bone matrix. The tissues that perform functions help in producing what is needed in the body also helpful in repairing what is damaged in the
Our bone tissues are made of a much harder substance than the cartilage, but they can be worn away by friction. They are tough on the outside, but on the inside they have a sponge-like design that helps to reduce the weight while retaining strength. They are designed to maintain the body’s structure and support the body’s movement and are used to protect weaker tissues, such as the brain, lungs and heart.
There are many kinds of body systems, working together to create a functioning body. Different body systems work with certain body systems, but all work together. Like, nervous system and muscular system, circulatory system and respiratory system, and so on.
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.
Kinesiology , the study of the human body and its movement. You could take numerous of routes with this degree and I plan on taking a couple of them such as a certified athletic trainer and also a physical therapist. I plan on advancing science in my field by catering to numerous off people bodies.

In this exercise, we will examine a fresh raw chicken bone to study bone
Joints are the connecting points where two bones meet. They allow the human body to be flexible. Muscles are also necessary for movement. They pulls bones are allow them to move. Tendons attach muscles to bones while ligaments attach bones to bones. The central nervous system stimulates muscles to contract when they are stimulated by “messages”, or impulses, that are sent from motor nerves and the bursae are fluid filled sacs between joints that provide protection
There are about 600 muscles in the body working together to create movement. Muscle contractions pull both ends of the muscle towards one another. One bone attached to each muscle is always more stabilized than the other. The less stabilized bone moves during muscle contraction due to the weaker stability. The points of attachment determine which bone will move. The least movable part is called the origin; it is the part that attaches closer to the midline of the body. This leaves the most movable part called the insertion. Each of these points can be identified in individual muscles to assist trainers in understanding how the muscles and joints work together to create motion.
None of the body systems can work without muscles and your muscles can't work without your other body systems so that means that all of your body systems need each other to work and make your body function correctly.
The primary function of these components working together is to create movement. Their functions include stability, posture and protection. Along with the joints the bones and muscle work together to recreate levers in the body.
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.
Support - our skeleton provides shape and support to our body which gives our body its shape, without this function our body would simply collapse.
The skeletal system is made up of bones and joints. Bones are a dry dense tissue that is composed of calcium phosphorous and organic matter. The bones are protected and covered by a layer of fibrous connective tissue membrane called the periosteum (Brown, et al., 2015, p. 1547). There are two basic types of bone tissue: Compact Bone and Spongy Bone. Compact bones are dense smooth bones, while Spongy bones are composed of small needle-like pieces of bones and open space. Bones are then categorised according to the shape of the bone into four groups: long, short, flat and irregular. Long bones characteristically are typically longer then they are wide and generally have a shaft with heads at either ends e.g. the humerus. They are mainly compact bones. Short bones
The two main age-related changes that are seen in this system pertain to the bones and soft tissues. Bone is the fundamental part
The skeletal system includes the osseous tissues of the body and the connective tissues that stabilize or interconnect the individual bones. The bone is a dynamic tissue. Throughout the lifespan, bone adjusts to the physiologic and mechanical demands placed on it by the processes of growth and remodeling.
Anatomy is the branch of medicine where study of structures of human body is done at the level of first year of academic course of every medical profession. The study is based on systemic pattern. So many systems of human body like respiratory system, cardiovascular system, central nervous system are studied theoretically & practically as well. Students has to dissect the human body & observe anatomy of each & every part of the body. Musculoskeletal system is one of the systems of the human body which is related to movements of body parts. Any pathological or structural change in this system leads to non functioning of the joints. Hyperuse of any joint of the body causes different clinical conditions & may become diseased. Wrist joint is the widely used joint of the human body in our day to day work. But its overuse in particular professionals like rickshaw drivers becomes worrysome after prolonged use.
