Muscular- Skeletal system diseases and disorders By: Shaina Orbeta

Parts and jobs…

Function of the parts Bones-giving the body shape and holding body up Skeletal system- working with the bones to make body moves Smooth muscles-moving things around the inside of the body system

Job of the muscular-skeletal system Muscular skeletal system has more than 600 muscle that are attached to bones. The contracting cells of muscles tissues cause your bones, which are part of the skeletal system to move.

Leukemia The cause of most human leukemia is unknown. It is a kind of cancer in which abnormal white blood cells multiply in an uncontrolled manner. they interfere with the production of normal white blood cells. Leukemia affects the production of red blood cells.

Treatment for leukemia deciding which treatment route to go can be complicated. The decision is based on the type and extent of the disease as well as certain features of the leukemia cells. In addition, the health of the patient must also be taken into account. For example, factors such as age, symptoms, and overall health are evaluated to determine the best treatment.  

Bursitis Bursitis is a disorder that causes pain in the body's joints. It most commonly affects the shoulder and hip joints. It is caused by an inflammation of the bursa, small fluid-filled bags that act as lubricating surfaces for muscles to move over bones. This inflammation usually results from over activity of an arm or leg.

Treatment for bursitis The first steps of bursitis treatment are to keep pressure off of the affected area, and try to limit your activity of that joint. Some individuals benefit from placing an elastic bandage (Ace wrap) or immobilizing brace around the joint until the inflammation subsides. Movement an pressure of the inflamed area will only cause exacerbation and prolongation on symptoms.

osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a disease resulting in the loss of bone tissue. In osteoporosis, the cancellous bone loses calcium, becomes thinner, and may disappear altogether.

sprain A sprain is an injury to a ligament or to the tissue that covers a joint. Most sprains result from a sudden wrench that stretches or tears the tissues of the ligaments. A sprain is usually extremely painful. The injured part often swells and turns black and blue.

fracture Fracture is a broken bone

Arthritis There are more than 100 diseases of the joints referred to as arthritis. Victims of arthritis suffer pain, stiffness, and swelling in their joints. Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative joint disease, occurs when a joint wears out. Many elderly people have osteoarthritis, and the disease may also occur if a joint has been injured many times. The joints most frequently affected are those of the hands, hips, knees, lower back, and neck

Muscular skeletal system For me, the muscular skeletal system is the most important system. Muscular skeletal system help us move to do some certain activities. You cannot moves if you don’t have them. But of course, a body also needs all of the system.

Muscular skeletal system is the MOST important system because: Its 206 bones form a rigid framework to which the softer tissues and organs of the body are attached. Vital organs are protected by the skeletal system. The brain is protected by the surrounding skull as the heart and lungs are encased by the sternum and rib cage. Bodily movement is carried out by the interaction of the muscular and skeletal systems. For this reason, they are often grouped together as the musculo-skeletal system. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. Bones are connected to each other by ligaments. Where bones meet one another is typically called a joint. Muscles which cause movement of a joint are connected to two different bones and contract to pull them together. An example would be the contraction of the biceps and a relaxation of the triceps. This produces a bend at the elbow. The contraction of the triceps and relaxation of the biceps produces the effect of straightening the arm.

Blood cells are produced by the marrow located in some bones Blood cells are produced by the marrow located in some bones. An average of 2.6 million red blood cells are produced each second by the bone marrow to replace those worn out and destroyed by the liver. Bones serve as a storage area for minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. When an excess is present in the blood, buildup will occur within the bones. When the supply of these minerals within the blood is low, it will be withdrawn from the bones to replenish the supply. Divisions of the Skeleton
