Skeletal system

Skeletal System The skeletal system is made up of 206 bones. It also includes cartilage, ligaments and tendons. The two main parts of the skeletal system are the axial skeleton with 80 bones and the appendicular skeleton with 126 bones. The primary purpose of the skeletal system is to provide the body with support, protection, movement, storage for minerals and lipids, and to produce red blood cells. The axial skeleton includes the skull, thoracic cage and vertebral column. The…

The skeletal muscle system is made of many skeletal muscle fibers which have at least one neuromuscular junction. A neuromuscular junction is the area of the skeletal muscle fiber that is innervated by a motor neuron (motor nerve). It plays a key role in body movement and breathing along with our nervous system. The synaptic knob, motor end plate, and the synaptic cleft are all key parts of the neuromuscular junction. The synaptic knob of an axon connects with a skeletal muscle fiber to form the…

Bone Repair Broken or fracture bone have four (4) stages to repair. 1.Hemata formation - due to fractured bone, the blood vessels are also ruptured and caused hematoma formation and inflammation. This allow clotting process and bone cells die at the broken ends. These dead bone cells are remove by osteoclasts. 2.Bone generation - phagocytic cells clear away the dead cells and capillaries grow again. Fibroblast produce collagen fibers that connect the broken bone ends, while osteoblasts start…

To understand the Musculo-Skeletal system and how it is suited to the functions that it performs for the body you first need to understand how the system works and what it is responsible for. It is comprised of two separate systems working together as one to provide the body with physical support, the ability to move and protection for its major organs. These two systems are the Skeletal System and the Muscular System and they contain the following:-  Bones of the skeleton  Muscles …

Summary The Scientific journal article I chose was about the Skeletal System disease, Rickets. This article delves into cases that prove “Children with disorders characterized by extensive cutaneous scaling, especially those with pigmented skin, are at increased risk of developing vitamin D deficiency and clinical rickets.” (K. Chouhan, 2011) Throughout this journal article there is a plethora of scientific data that proves having these characteristics in any of their forms heighten the risk…

1. Explain the relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems. So in the simplest terms, the skeletal system (Bones) make it so that way you have structure in you’re not a blob of skin and cartilage, and the muscular system makes it so that way you can get up and move around. The skeletal system provides the framework for your body, while the muscular system consists of soft tissues that support the skeleton. 2. Why is the circulatory system important? Because it circulates the blood in…

Muscular skeletal system Flat bones = blue (There are flat bones in the skull and the pelvis. The function of flat bones is to protect internal organs such as the brain, heart, and pelvic organs. Flat bones are somewhat flattened, and can provide protection, like a shield; flat bones can also provide large areas of attachment for muscles.) [3] Long bones = red (The long bones, longer than they are wide, include the femur (the longest bone in the body) as well as relatively…

‘calcium bank account.” (“What is Calcium?” n.d.). If one’s intake of calcium is done at different times throughout the day, absorption will be enhanced. But what is too much consumption or supplementation. Storage of calcium is in the bones or skeletal system. “Calcium is also essential for the normal function of muscles, blood vessels, and nerves.” (Harvard Medical School, 2010, p. 1). Calcium when in seen in other tissues can cause medical problems. Calcium in breast tissue for…

vocal cords and is a part of the respiratory and skeletal systems. Just caudal to the larynx is the thyroid gland. The thyroid has an appearance that is similar to a smooth pebble. The thyroid gland produces thyroxine, which controls metabolism, and is a part of the endocrine system. The trachea is just behind the thryoid gland is a thin, rough tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi. The trachea is a part of the respiratory and skeletal systems. The thymus gland is a two-lobbed gland that…

are bodily systems that play a specific role within each and every human being. In these systems there are specific organs that carry out the the jobs of the respective system. The systems that are included in the physical makeup of a human include the circulatory, immune, skeletal, excretory, muscular, endocrine, digestive, nervous and respiratory. These systems have major similarities that are shared between each system, while also having major differences that separate these systems, work in…
