Shockwave is a short duration acoustic wave that carries energy and can be used as a stimulus to heal damaged tissue. Years ago, shockwaves first started to affect swimmers on a South Pacific beach. Researchers found that when mines were blasted in the water the high-energy shockwaves would damage the internal organs of the swimmers. As researchers kept studying the effects of shockwaves, they developed a treatment for kidney stones by controlling the power of the shockwaves that were released. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment that delivers high or low intensity shockwaves to specific area in the body. Doctors determine the intensity of the shockwave by the patient’s location and severity of pain. Before …show more content…
Connective tissues have many different cell types. Fixed cells, such as fibroblasts and mast cells, stay part of the tissue for a long period of time. Wandering cells, such as macrophages, do the opposite. They are seen in tissues for short periods of time, usually when there is an infection. Connective tissues can be broken down into two categories, connective tissue proper and specialized connective tissues. Connective tissue proper includes loose connective tissue, adipose tissue (fat), and dense connective tissue. Specialized connective tissue includes cartilage, bone, and blood. Muscle tissues are found attached to the bones, the walls of hollow internal organs, and the heart. Their main function involves movement. These tissues react to a stimulus called muscle fibers. When these muscle fibers contract, they pull at their attached ends and this is how we move different parts of our body. There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle tissues are found in muscles attached to bones. Smooth muscle tissues are found on the walls of hollow internal organs. Cardiac muscle tissues are only in the heart. The last major type of tissue is nervous tissues, which are found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Their function is to send impulses for coordination, regulation, and sensory
Most types of connective tissue contain fibrous strands of the protein collagen that add strength to connective tissue. Some examples of connective tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, areolar, adipose bone and fat tissue. In addition to these more recognizable forms of connective tissue, blood is also considered a form of connective tissue.
Regarding Extracorporeal shockwave therapy 1X3 - Left Shoulder, CA MTUS does not specifically address this issue. ACOEM and ODG recommended shockwave therapy for calcifying tendinitis but not for other shoulder disorders. This is a chronic pain patient with a 2014 date of injury. The patient has significant left shoulder pain. However, the latest progress note indicated that psychical exam revealed full ROM and no tenderness to palpation over the shoulder joint. In addition the guidelines do not recommend shockwave therapy for sprain/strains or laceration of the shoulder. Furthermore, the latest progress report discussed about continued shockwave treatment. It is unclear, if shockwave therapy has been provided before. Medical necessity has
• *Describe the 3 main types of cells and the 3 main types of fibers found in connective tissue? Reference Table 5.6.
Smooth muscle is one of three muscle fiber types found in animals. Unlike skeletal and cardiac muscle cells, smooth muscle cells are not striated, and have single nuclei. Smooth muscles are typically under control of the autonomic nervous system, and do not contract voluntarily. Smooth muscle contracts slowly,
4. Organ level- Organs are made up of different types of tissues. Organ is a discrete structure composed of at least two tissue types that performs a specific function for the body.
The nervous system is made up of basic units called neurons. The main role of the neurons is to receive, integrate and transmit information throughout the body. There are some neuroglial cells found in nervous system aswell which provide support to the neurons by giving protection and nourishment Neurons have nerve processes that looks like finger like projections extended from the nerve cell body. They also contain axons and dendrites which enable them to transmit signals throughout the body. Normally, axon carry signals away from the cell body and dendrites carry signals toward the cell body according to Regina Bailey (2013). Neurons have three different shapes: bipolar, unipolar and multipolar where bipolar has two neuronal processes coming out of the cell body, unipolar has only one neuronal process coming out of the cell body and multipolar has many neuronal processes coming out of the cell body.
types of muscle tissues : skeletal, cardiac, smooth. Each of these different tissues has the ability
The matrix of a tissue can be secreted by the connective tissues within the body. The functions of connective tissues are to transport materials around the body to give support to the weak areas to protect and support the body.
There are three main types of muscle tissue in the body: Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. Firstly, skeletal muscle has a stripped appearance when it is examined under a microscope so it is sometimes known as striated/stripped muscle. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and this means that it is under conscious control. Secondly, there is smooth muscle which is an involuntary muscle that operates without any conscious control. This muscle is controlled by the nervous system. Smooth muscle can be found in the blood vessels and the walls of the digestive system and it helps to control digestion and blood pressure. Lastly, there is cardiac muscle which is located in in the wall of the heart. Cardiac muscle is involuntary and this means that it is not under conscious control. This is made up of a specialised type of tissue which is striated and it has its own blood supply. The contractions aid the pumping of blood through the blood vessels
Connective tissue - Connective tissues holds and binds everything together which are found all around the body. This type of tissue is also called fibrous connective tissues as they are consisting of a lot of fibres eg. Collagen and Elastin.
10. two of the main types of muscle tissue correspond with muscles that are involuntary, they are cardiac muscle, which includes the heart. Smooth muscle, which is also involuntary, and includes the stomach, intestines, uterus, urethra, bladder, and blood vessels. The Skeletal muscles are voluntary, they’re attached to the bone and are used to affect skeletal movement.
The second type of tissue found in the body is connective tissue. They lie beneath the epithelial tissue helping to connect different part of the internal structure, the cells are more widely separated from each other then in epithelial tissue. The intercellular substance known as the matrix is found in considerably large amounts. Within the matrix there are usually fibres which may be a jelly like consistency or dense and rigid depending on the type, function and positioning of the tissue. Theses fibres form a supporting system for cells to attach to. The major functions of connective tissue are to transport materials, give structural support and protection. The types of connective tissue that will be explained are blood, bone, cartilage, bone, areolar tissue and adipose tissue.
There are the Smooth, the Skeletal, and the Cardiac muscular tissues. Smooth muscles are made of spindle-shaped cells.
