inside the lysosome (Pompe, 2010). The glycogen build up has specific effects on the muscles of the body I chose Pompe Disease because of its effects on the muscular system. Also, I feel that, because of its specific effects directly on the lysosomes of cells causing it to be a rare disorder, it does not receive enough attention.…

different kind of stem cells to research, (Cell Specialization and Development, Medical Drug Testing, Transplantation and cloning, Another type of research is for use in cell therapy to treat Parkinson disease and other forms of neurodegeneration of muscle tissue or traumatic damage to the central nervous system, these studies could help doctors cure and treat the…

These mechanisms work to improve action potential propagation and ultimately promote greater muscle recruitment and peak torque. 2. What is novel in this study and what is the rationale leading to the purpose and hypothesis?…

immensely for the state of one’s bone health. The root “osteo” actually means bone; moreover, Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bone is tremendously brittle, which can be preventable with the right precautions. Bones are the formation of the skeletal system in which helps with mobility and structure. Unfortunately, Osteoporosis can approach unannounced; furthermore, the disease remains unnoticed for months or years until a sudden fall or if incorrect movement is being placed causing a…

muscular dystrophy. Muscular dystrophy is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration (Muscular Dystrophy Association). Muscle weakness appears in early childhood and progressively worsens; children with DMD are generally wheel-chair dependent by adolescence. Along with the DMD affecting the skeletal system, the cardiac muscles are also affected and result in cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy is a heart disease where weak cardiac muscle prevents the heart from pumping blood efficiently.…

Muscles in a way are the most important parts of the body. If we didn’t have muscles it would be impossible to move around, and do things. Muscles make everything we do possible, but there is more to muscles than meets the eye. Yes there are the kinds of muscles which allow us to walk and pick up things, but there are also different kinds of muscles which if anything are equally important. Before we dive into the kinds of muscles and their functions, let’s get a better idea of how muscles work.…

sessions. These heat sessions can have great benefits on different aspects of your health. We will discuss here about some of the advantages gained from spending time in the heat. There are multiple benefits such as increasing endurance and improving muscles. First of all, it is important to understand that it is not easy to enjoy the benefits of a sauna. It produces serious heat and most people are not able to withstand it especially who do not have prior experience or belong to cooler areas.…

of a bathroom, unable to move. These falls are likely due to the deterioration of muscle mass that comes with aging and lack of physical activity (Andreoli). As the muscles become weaker, the ability to hold the body up becomes a much more difficult task. In some instances, seniors may not be suffering from osteoporosis at all, yet muscle atrophy is another prevalent issue amongst the population. When postural muscles such as the erector spinae and rectus abdominis (located along the spine and…

of cutting-edge technology with innovations in mechanical, electrical, and software design could give them something to look forward to in the near future. This paper gives an overview of the future of sonomyography, the morphological changes of a muscle being detected by sonography, as an interface to control a prosthetic upper limb in real time and surpass the limitation of surface electromyography as an interface. Sonography imaging is rich in information, fast, widely available, and…

I have researched Scoliosis for this Skeletal System Case Study. Where a healthy spine appears straight from behind, a spine that has developed Scoliosis will curve to the side. In this study I explored the causes, types, treatments and the use of massage therapy to help ease the affects Scoliosis has on the body. Scoliosis occurs when the spine develops an abnormal lateral curve during growth. Doctors use an S or C to describe the curve of the spine. Scoliosis can be Congenital, which means…
