It can cause injuries, sprains and strains.
1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

15. Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise
Aerobic- (with oxygen)- walking running cycling, swimming.

The brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle.
1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

17. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system
Movement
As a muscle contracts, it pulls the insertion bone closer to the origin bone. Movement occurs at the joint between the origin and the insertion.
Rule: A muscle’s insertion bone moves toward its origin bone.

Cause- weakness in the abdominal wall evolves into a localized hole, or "defect", through which adipose tissue, or abdominal organs may protrude. Inguinal, ventral, umbilical, femoral, hiatal.
Symptoms-  Pain at the site, a visible or palpable lump.
Diagnosis- Palpable bulge.
Treatment- Surgery to repair hole in fascia.
Prognosis- Excellent with surgery. If no surgical repair, could become incarcerated with a decrease in blood flow to the intestines. Can cause death of bowel.

40. Muscular Dystrophy
Cause- MD covers over 200 different types of muscular diseases. Congenital muscle destroying disease. Muscle fiber degenerate and atrophy due to the absence on dystrophin, a protein that helps muscle cells intact. Mostly occurs in males.
Symptoms- Progressive muscular wasting, Poor balance, Drooping eyelids, Muscle Atrophy, Scoliosis , Inability to walk, Frequent falls, Waddling gait, Calf deformation, Limited range of movement, Respiratory difficulty, Joint contractures, Cardiomyopathy, Arrhythmias, Muscle spasms, pain.

41. Muscular Dystrophy Diagnosis- Muscle biopsy, genetic testing
Treatment- Treat the symptoms.  Physical therapy,occupational therapy, orthotic intervention (e.g., ankle-foot orthosis), speech therapy and orthopedic instruments (e.g., wheelchairs, standing frames and powered mobile arm supports) may be helpful. Inactivity (such as bed rest, sitting for long periods) and bodybuilding efforts to increase myofibrillar hypertrophy can worsen the disease.

Diagnosis- Blood tests and noted ocular muscle weakness.
Treatment- Immunosuppressant drugs, thymectomy
Prognosis- Can go into remission with drug therapy. No known cure. Death occurs when respiratory muscles cease to function.
