2. The Skeletal and Muscular Systems By: Jenna Wozniak, Salma Shedbalkar, Alex Lawson, and Bill Didier

3. The Skeletal System

4. Two Major Systems of Bones Born w/275 bones in body Bone is made up of 3 major parts: compact bone, soft bone, and sponge bone Axial skeleton: made up of 80 bones; in skull, ribs, sternum Appendicular: made up of 126 bones; in shoulders, pelvis, and attached limbs

5. Major Functions Protects vital organs Gives shape to body Allows movement Marrow Supports body Stores minerals

6. Skeletal Problems

7. Problems/Treatments Scoliosis Arthritis Disclocation Fractures Osteoporosis Rickets Spina bifida Marfan syndrome Osteopathy Bone marrow transplants Back braces Casts Vitamin D Surgery Artificial limbs

8. Bone Marrow Soft, spongy, reddish Fills most of bone Blood cells are produced in the marrow in some bones An average of 2.6 million red blood cells are produced each second Transplants

9. Joints

10. Joints Continued

11. Body Movement Interaction of the muscular and skeletal systems Muscles are connected to bones by tendons Bones are connected to each other by ligaments Muscles create movement by contracting and relaxing

12. The Muscular System

13. 650 muscles in human body 3 different type of muscle tissues 2 types of muscles Human heart

15. Problems/Treatments Cramps Strains Sprains Spasms Muscle fatigue Calcium Magnesium Bromelian Creatine 48 hours of cold w/elevation, then heat

16. Skeletal Muscle Tissue Striated, voluntary Attached to bones Work in pairs: flexors and extensors

17. Cardiac Muscle Tissue Striated, involuntary Found only in heart wall Contracts and relaxes

18. Smooth Muscle Tissue Striated, involuntary Found in walls of all internal hollow organs Performs the organs functions

19. Types of Muscles and Response (Initiated by nerve impulse) –Involuntary –Voluntary All or none response: A muscle twitch is an all-or- none response; it consists of a lag phase, contraction phase, and relaxation phase. Threshold stimulus Contraction twitch latent period period of contraction period of relaxation

20. New Technology Cardiomyoplasty: experimental procedure Transplanting muscles into heart Becomes a mechanical assistant to a weak heart Transplanted muscle can learn to act as an original heart muscle Allows patient to have better quality life
