The basic framework of the body is a system of 206 bones and the joints between them are known as the skeleton. Bones have a number of functions in the body, they serve as a firm framework, protect delicate structures as the brain and spinal cord. They work as levers with attached muscles to produce movement, they store calcium salts, which may be reabsorbed into the blood if calcium is needed, and they produce red blood cells (in the red marrow). Bones are organs, with their own systems of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves. There are two types of bone tissue. One type is compact bone, which is hard and dense. The second type is spongy bone. It is made of a meshwork of small, bony plates, filled with red marrow. The human skeleton …show more content…
40%- 50% of our body weight is skeletal muscle. Muscles fill in the form and contour of the body. There are three primary functions of skeletal muscles; muscles in this system are attached to the bones and produce movement of the skeleton. Muscles are attached to bones and contract to change the position of the bones at a joint. Maintenance of posture a partial of muscle known, as muscle tone, keeps the body in position. Muscles generate most of the heat needed to keep the body at 37 degree Celsius. Heat is a natural byproduct of muscle cell metabolism. The structure of muscle is held by connective tissue. There are three kinds of muscle tissue: smooth muscle which is in the wall of hollow organs, vessels and respiratory passageways. Its action produces peristalsis; contracts and relaxes slowly; may sustain contraction, it is an involuntary muscle. The cardiac muscle lies in the wall of the heart. It pumps blood out of the heart and is an involuntary muscle. It contracts rhythmically and continuously to provide the pumping action needed to maintain constant blood flow. The skeletal muscle is attached to bones. It produces movement at the joints; stimulated by the nervous system; contacts and relaxes rapidly, different types of skeletal muscle groups include muscle of the head, are those of facial expression and mastication (chewing). Muscles of the neck, muscles of the upper extremities, include the muscles that determine the position of the shoulder, the anterior and posterior muscles that move the arm, and the muscles that move the forearm and hand. Muscles of the trunk, include muscles that are involved in breathing, the thin muscle layers of the abdomen, and the muscles if the pelvic floor. Muscles of the lower extremities are among the longest and strongest muscles in the body, they are specialized for locomotion and balance. This includes the muscles that move the thigh and and
Introduction: According to the “Human Physiology Laboratory Manual “,BIOL 282 ,page 31 , the reason of performing this experiment is to learn how the muscle contraction occurs based on the molecular level and what kind of factors are involved .As a matter of fact, skeletal muscles contain a lot of nuclei because of the cell fusion while being developed and are made of cylindrical cells that have myofibrils. The myofibrils contain sarcomeres and the
Bones possess five important functions including, support, protection, movement, storage and blood cell formation (Marieb, 2012). Bones protect and support the body by acting as a rigid framework surrounding delicate organs and tolerating enormous pressure when weight bearing and moving (Marieb, 2012). Bones are also responsible for storing fat, minerals and producing blood cells (hematopoiesis) within the cavities of bone marrow (McCance & Huether, 2014) (Marieb,
Chapter 13 talks about the muscular system and the way that it is works together with the skeletal system and other systems in our body. It also explains the ways our muscles contract and move and what processes are going on in within our muscles when we work each one of them. The chapter also talks about disorders that can happen within our muscles and the way they affect our life. What I found most surprising in the chapter was reading the box that talked about botox ad wrinkles. It was shocking to read that the toxin used for botox is one of the most lethal substances and yet people are voluntarily putting it in their body. Another thing that surprised me to know was that the same substance had also been approved to treat migraine headaches.
MuscleTech Nitro-Tech 2 is part of the performance series that contains whey isolate and lean muscle builders (peptides) to build 70 percent more lean muscle than regular whey. This is an ultra pure whey isolate that has been enhanced with creatine and amino acids. In the past, bodybuilders had few options for protein sources that had been scientifically formulated. That has changed with Nitro-Tech. MuscleTech has created a protein formula that packs on more muscle than regular whey protein due to their special process.
Individual muscles are made up of individual muscle fibers and these fibers can be further organized into a motor unit grouped within each muscle. A motor unit is simply a bundle of grouped muscle fibers. When you want to move the brain instantaneously sends a signal or impulse through the spinal cord that reaches the motor unit. Muscle fibers are cells like the basic building block of the muscle. There are a few different types of muscle fibers, each are designed for a specific type of muscle activity. Some muscle fibers are good for endurance exercises, other work best for the short bursts. Each muscle fiber is a single cell. Each cell consists of a structure.
In Anatomy and Physiology, one of the topics this class recently covered was the muscle system. In the video, “How Your Muscular System Works” published in 2017 by Emma Bryce said a brief explanation of how the muscular system works. In the video, Bryce stated, “Each time you take a step, two hundred muscles work in unison to lift your foot, propel it forward, and set it down.” Indeed, each muscle is responsible to do a specific movement. The muscle system is a very important system because this is where the three types of muscles come from. For example, in the video, it talked about the skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and the smooth muscle. The skeletal muscle is involuntary muscle and voluntary muscles. In addition, the cardiac muscle and the smooth muscle are only involuntary muscles. The cardiac muscle is only found in the heart. The smooth
The skeletal system is made up of bones and joints. Bones are a dry dense tissue that is composed of calcium phosphorous and organic matter. The bones are protected and covered by a layer of fibrous connective tissue membrane called the periosteum (Brown, et al., 2015, p. 1547). There are two basic types of bone tissue: Compact Bone and Spongy Bone. Compact bones are dense smooth bones, while Spongy bones are composed of small needle-like pieces of bones and open space. Bones are then categorised according to the shape of the bone into four groups: long, short, flat and irregular. Long bones characteristically are typically longer then they are wide and generally have a shaft with heads at either ends e.g. the humerus. They are mainly compact bones. Short bones

The nervous system is made up of three vital parts; the brain, spinal cord and nerves. This system controls everything we do from breathing, to running to making our heartbeat fast or slow. The nervous system is very complicated although it can be broken down into smaller components.
There are approximately two hundred six bones in our body and they're essential in our life. Bones consists of osseous tissue, nervous tissue, and epithelial and muscle tissue. Examples are the femur, humerus, clavicle, and sternum. The bones have many different functions in our bodies, but basically, their main functions are to provide support and protection for the body. Bones provide a framework that supports our body and bones such as skull, vertebrae and rib cage try to prevent internal organs from injuries. Also, bones enable movement by providing points of attachment for muscles and they produce blood cells, also known as hematopoiesis in the red marrow. Lastly, bones store minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus for different cellular activities and store lipids in adipose cells of the yellow marrow as an energy reservoir. There are different shapes and textures of bones. Bones can be flat, such as scapula and sternum, or irregular like the sphenoid bone and vertebra. Also, bones can be short or long. Examples of short bones are the carpal bone and talus and long bones are ulna, femur, and radius. In terms of texture, bones can be compact or spongy. Compact bones are dense and heavy while spongy bones are porous and light. Both types of bones are connective tissues. Usually compact bones are the out layer of a bone and spongy bones are the internal portion of the bone.
Comparison of Muscular System: After we have removed the skin, we observed the muscular system. This system has the main role of causing movement, maintains posture, and generating a balance temperature. In this system, the three main muscles are the smooth muscles, skeletal muscles, and cardiac muscles. The types of muscles that are in the cats are very similar or just that exactly to the humans, both the cats and humans have these same three types of muscles. First, the smooth muscles, this muscles are usually build in the stomach’s wall, allowing and aiding in the process of breaking the food and eliminating wastes through the digestive system.
The human muscular system is made up of over 600 connecting muscles. All of the muscles work together in sync to make your body move in inumerable different ways.

Bone serves the organism at multiple levels: As a system, bones permit the organism to locomote effectively and to maintain posture by bearing loads without deformation, by providing rigid attachment sites for muscles and acting as a system of levers to amplify small movements. As an organ, bones protect the viscera and house the hemopoietic tissue (red marrow). As a tissue, bones serve as a reservoir of readily mobilizable calcium, an
