10. Muscle Tone John just got a cast off his leg. His calf muscle on the affected leg is 1” smaller in diameter than his other calf muscle. What happened? How do you explain this to him? 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 10

11. Muscle Tone Exercise & Training What are the advantages of exercise? Are there any disadvantages of exercise? 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 11

12. Muscle Fatigue MUSCLE FATIGUE: What causes it? Metabolic process- body's inc need for O2/energy/build up of lactic acid causes cramping. How does the body correct muscle fatigue? Breathing increases….goes from aerobic demand to anaerobic demand. Is muscle fatigue dangerous? Why / why not? Yes and no 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 12

13. Functions of the Muscular System 1.Movement 2.Posture 3.Body Heat 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 13

14. Movement: Skeletal Muscle Receptors in muscles provide the brain with information about body position and movement. The brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 14

15. Movement Mechanism of skeletal muscle movement to include: Point of origin-muscle attached to the stationary bone. Point of insertion- muscle attached to moving bone. Prime mover - Muscles that work in groups or by themselves. Antagonist-muscles cause movement in opposite direction. Synergists-these muscles assist the prime mover muscles. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 15

16. Movement: Digestive System The nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the digestive tract. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 16

17. Movement: Circulatory System Heartbeat The nervous system and hormones regulate the speed at which the heart beats. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 17

18. Posture 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 18

19. Body Heat What is the body’s response to cold? Why? How is this response helpful? How does the body respond to exercise? Why? 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 19

20. Myopathy Myo- -pathy 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 20

21. Fibromyalgia Discuss the pictures and how they relate to fibromyalgia. Cause Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Prognosis 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system 21
