What is the Role that Your System What is the Role that Your System PlaysPlays

In the Body?In the Body?The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. Muscle tissue is found inside of the heart, stomach, and blood vessels... In these organs, muscles serve to move substances throughout the body. The skeletal system has about seven hundred named muscles that make up half of a person’s body weight, which is found inside the arm, leg...

What Are the Major Organs that What Are the Major Organs that Make UpMake Up

Your System?Your System?There is really no major organs in the muscular system. There is,

how ever organs that are made with a lot of muscles tissues like

the heart, which has a lot of strong muscles the squeeze and

relaxes to pump blood to the body; the stomach, which belongs

to the digestive system, stores food and digests them, turning

them in to nutrients, and etc...

There is three types of muscle tissues:

-skeletal muscle;

-smooth muscle;

-cardiac muscle;

How Do These Organs Work How Do These Organs Work TogetherTogetherSkeletal muscle, is used to effect skeletal movement such as

running and walking. they are voluntary muscles, which means

you can control what they do. The skeletal muscles work with

your bones to give your body power and strength. In most cases,

a skeletal muscle is attached to one end of a bone. It stretches

all the way across a joint and then attaches again to another

bone.

Smooth muscle, which is found within the walls of organs and

structures such as the lung, the stomach... smooth muscles work

all over the body. In your stomach and digestive system, they

contract and relax to allow food to go through the body. The

muscles also push the food back out of the stomach so it comes

up and out of the mouth. They are controlled by the "autonomic

nervous system"

Cardiac muscle, is more similar in structure to skeletal muscle,

and is found only in the heart.

Explanation of How Your System is Explanation of How Your System is Connected with Two Other Systems?Connected with Two Other Systems?

• Muscular system is closely connected to the nervous system. the neurons of the nervous system are connected to most of the cells in the muscular system.

Muscle system (smooth muscle) lines digestive system and help move food through the intestines. Smooth muscle also surrounds the circulatory system and lymph system. Muscle tissues are spread throughout the body and are even involved in controlling the temperature of your body.

What Are The Levels of Organizations What Are The Levels of Organizations In Humans?In Humans?

In every human system the levels of organization from cell to organ system can be identified.

Organism- Human.

Organ Systems- All of our muscles make up the muscular system and function together to allow movement.

Organs- The muscles are the major organs of muscular system. The body is divided into ten different areas there muscles can be found: facial, neck, shoulder, are, forearm, thorax, abdomen, hip, pelvis, leg. Different types of muscular tissue are found in different muscles.

Tissues- Muscular tissue is also divided into three types: Smooth, skeletal and cardiac. Each of these tissues perform a specific function in order to help us be a live.

Cells- Humans have three types of muscle cells: skeletal, cardiac and smooth. Each muscle cell is designed for various functions that are needed by a certain area in the body.

Organism (Human)

Organ System: Muscular system

Organ: Stomach(smooth muscle)

Tissue: Smooth muscle tissue

Cell: Smooth muscle cells

Diseases in the muscular system in Diseases in the muscular system in the human body the human body

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease that damages the muscle fiber. Some symptoms include weakness, loss of mobility and lack of coordination. The cause is that the genes makes proteins that protect muscle fibers from damage. Muscular dystrophy occurs when one of these genes is defective of not the same and worse then the others. Each form of muscular dystrophy is caused by a genetic mutation that's particular to that type of the disease. Many of these mutations are inherited, but some occur spontaneously in the mother's egg or the developing embryo. Some treatments are try exercising to decrease the pain, surgery can also help to relive muscle shortening. Sometimes special medications can help relive pain.

Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune disease that makes muscle weak and fatigue. A breakdown of the neuromuscular junction causes the brain to lose control of these muscles, which can result in difficulty breathing and swallowing which can cause death. The exact cause is not found yet but the theory is that it may be triggered by a virus or other infection that has a similar structure to a part of the acetylcholine receptor ( it’s found in the neuromuscular junction and needed for normal function). The antibodies that the immune system produces to fight the virus then also mistakenly attack the receptors. What they do know is, that certain antibodies have been found in the blood of people with myasthenia gravis and they are built to attack acetylcholine receptors. Myasthenia is almost twice as common in women the men. Some treatments are medications such as pyridostigmine and neostigmine , thymectomy (a surgery) and Plasmapheresis large amounts of blood are taken out, then put in a centrifuge to separate the red and white cells from the serum, the liquid that contains the immune antibodies which are doing the damage. The red and white cells are then replaced, along with donated or synthetic serum.

How to maintain a healthy How to maintain a healthy muscular systemmuscular systemTo help maintain a healthy muscular system, you have to

exercise mostly everyday because it’s important. Exercises that cause you to sweat and breathe heavily are important for working out the muscles of your heart and blood vessels. Strength training or resistance training can make your muscles bigger or firm your muscles to make you more strong. Massage and stretching, like yoga, helps to loosen up your muscles and prevent painful muscular tightness. Also eat lots of protein vegetables and other food that is good for your body because it also helps to provide energy which fuels your muscle cells so in stead of eating sugar and drinking energy drinks you should eat go food. Also if you tear a muscle in your body to help keep it healthy and stop it from tearing even more you have to rest and stop working out until it gets better or back to normal.

Two professions Two professions

A career that deals with the muscle system is a personal trainer because they relax your muscles and make your muscles bigger which makes you stronger. They also help removed tight pain that can occur in the muscles by exercising. A trainer is someone who trains you personally by exercising that makes you stronger and more fit. Another type of a personal trainer is a yoga trainer because they help to relax muscles so they are pain free.

Orthopedic specialists deals with the disorders of the musculoskeletal system...muscles, bones, and other related structures like tendons and ligaments. Other specialists may be brought in as well to look at the patients just in case. For example, if a muscular disorder appears to be based in a neurologic condition, the orthopedic specialist will bring in a neurologist to consult on the case just in case the orthopedics don’t know what it is or how to handle it.

The role of the rheumatologist is to diagnose , treat and medically mange patients with arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. These health problems affect the joints, muscles, bones and sometimes other internal organs (e.g., kidneys, lungs, blood vessels and the brain). These diseases are often complex, they benefit from the care of an experts and only rheumatologists are experts in this field of medicine to cure the patients.

Five factsFive facts

One interesting fact about the muscular system is that Your muscle cells produce enough heat every day to boil almost 2 pints of water for an hour straight.

Another interesting fact is if you try and stand still, gravity will swag you back a fourth and side to side but your muscles will pull you straight.

Another interesting fact is when you smile you just used 3 muscles and when you frown you use 35 so smile!!

five factsfive facts

Your whole body is made up of approximately 696 muscles.

It takes about two hundred to take just on step.

Another interesting fact is almost half or more of your body weight is muscles.
