By: Anthony Wesley Josiah Gage THE SKELETOMUSCULAR SYSTEM
An organ system that gives humans the ability to move using the muscular and skeletal systems Made up of skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together OVERALL FUNCTION
A flexible connective tissue in animals Three Types of Cartilage Elastic Hyaline Fibrocartilage Located… CARTILAGE
Internal framework of the body 6 major functions of the skeleton: Support Movement Protection Production of blood cells Storage of ions Endocrine regulation Subtle differences between different sexes SKELETON
Fibrous, connective tissue Connects bones to other bones Similar to tendons LIGAMENTS
Found between other tissues in body All connective tissue (2 exceptions) have 3 main components: Fibers Ground substance Cells All immersed in body water CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Keep bones in place and play role in movement of bones 3 types: Skeletal Smooth Cardiac Only skeletal and smooth are part of musculoskeletal system Smooth: Controls the flow of substances within the lumens of hollow organs Skeletal: Moves body MUSCLES
Tough band of fibrous connective tissue Connects muscle to bone Some tendons can function as springs TENDONS
Location at which bones connect Constructed to allow movement and provide mechanical support JOINTS
ARTHRITIS: Painful inflammation Stiffness of the joints (not strong) Caused by wear & tear over time DISEASES AND PROBLEMS
ARTHRITIS: Eating healthier in order to lose weight Doing physical therapy Stretching exercises Medications CURES AND SOLUTIONS
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME: Caused by trapping and compressing the nerve May develop tingling or pain Weakness of movement Inflame and thicken ligament DISEASES AND PROLEMS
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Avoiding activities that cause symptoms Wearing a wrist splint Physical therapy Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Surgery CURES AND SOLUTIONS
