The Musculoskeletal System

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 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).

system is to provide movement for the body. The muscular system consist of three different

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.

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

Everyone experiences stress in a different way: some shut down while others cry or become frustrated. Moreover, although a instinctual necessity, too much stress can definitely cause problems for one’s physical or psychological well-being. When I get too stressed, for example, my immune system drops which causes me to get sick sometimes even three times in a month. Other times, I just have to take breaks from my responsibilities to prevent myself from breaking down or becoming so exhausted that I cannot finish the task at

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

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 skeletal system consists of exactly 206 bones, it also contains tendons, ligaments, and cartilage that connects them together. The skeletal system performs vital functions such as support, movement, protection, blood cell production, calcium storage, and endocrine regulation. Infants are born with 270 bones, but some of them fuse together as the body develops. A bone in the skeletal system are typically dense and tough on the outside, like a compact bone. When going deeper in the bone the next layer is called spongy bone, which is lighter and more flexible. Some of these bones contain bone

The muscular system is an organ system composed of roughly 650 to 850 muscles. The muscular systems consist of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. The muscular system collectively works with other organ systems to permit movement, posture, conduction of heat and the circulation of blood throughout the human body.

The Muscular System allows us humans to make movement like playing a piano, shooting a basketball, and etc. The Muscular System helps you breathe AND helps make your heartbeat! The organs in the Muscular System are biceps, triceps, hamstrings, & etc.Your hamstrings work to help you bend your knees. But your biceps and triceps work to help you lift things instead of bending your knees.

To begin with, the muscular system basically makes movement. Every step you take, every time you blink your eyes and eve when you swallow food, that is the muscular system doing its job. The muscular system also helps maintain homeostasis by maintaining body temperature which happens when you contract, which is the shortening of a muscle while pulling against the bones, you are releasing heat which is helping regulate your body temperature. Another job that the muscular system has is maintaining our body’s posture. These are some examples of involuntary things that your bones do, meaning that they do it without you personally consciously controlling them. Some examples of voluntary movement, which is when you're consciously controlling it,

Stress can get bad enough to where it starts to affect your body system. Things like depression, heart attacks, diseases, rashes and a low immune system can all occur to people dealing with stress bad enough. The number of common signs and symptoms is outrageous and is depressing to see that there are so many people dealing with this and how it’s such a common thing in this world. On stress.org, they talk about the different body systems and how they’re affected. The nervous, musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, gastro and reproductive systems are all affected in some way and in many ways to say the least. If your stress ever gets so bad, I consider seeing a doctor or specialist seeing how dangerous this can get.

Individual differences in responding to stress are influenced by genetics, developmental and environmental influences, as well as being linked with one's own life experiences (McEwen and Stellar, 1993). However, stress does cause some common changes. Emotionally, stress can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety and anger (McEwen et al, 1993). Accordingly, on the basis of the above criteria, it is clear that stress has a direct correlation on health outcomes.

      Stress can cause many things that affect a healthy body.  Stress causes quick yet shallow breathing in which case, the body's cells are being deprived of oxygen.  Stress will increase cholesterol levels and can also cause indigestion, heartburn, a decreased sex drive, and also arteriosclerosis (the hardening of the arteries).  While these symptoms may seem minimal, stress can decrease the activity of white blood cells.  Since the white blood cells fight off sicknesses and diseases, the immune system is affected by stress and can make the body more susceptible to colds, viruses, flues, and diseases (Morrison 2).
