1. By: Anthony Wesley Josiah Gage THE SKELETOMUSCULAR SYSTEM

2.  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

3.  A flexible connective tissue in animals  Three Types of Cartilage  Elastic  Hyaline  Fibrocartilage  Located… CARTILAGE

4.  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

5.  Fibrous, connective tissue  Connects bones to other bones  Similar to tendons LIGAMENTS

6.  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

7.  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

8.  Tough band of fibrous connective tissue  Connects muscle to bone  Some tendons can function as springs TENDONS

9.  Location at which bones connect  Constructed to allow movement and provide mechanical support JOINTS

10.  ARTHRITIS:  Painful inflammation  Stiffness of the joints (not strong)  Caused by wear & tear over time DISEASES AND PROBLEMS

11.  ARTHRITIS:  Eating healthier in order to lose weight  Doing physical therapy  Stretching exercises  Medications CURES AND SOLUTIONS

12.  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

13.  CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME  Avoiding activities that cause symptoms  Wearing a wrist splint  Physical therapy  Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs  Surgery CURES AND SOLUTIONS
