What is the Role that Your System Plays
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 Make Up
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 Together
Skeletal 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
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 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.

Diseases in the muscular system in
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.
Diseases in the muscular system in the
human body
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
muscular
To help maintain
a healthy muscular system
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
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.
Two professions
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.
Two professions
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 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 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.
