Study Notes
Skeletal System
- Provides a framework for the body
- Composed of bones, joints, and connective tissues
- Contains over 200 bones
- Bones support the body, protect organs (e.g., brain, spinal cord, lungs), and produce blood cells and store calcium
- Joints enable flexibility and movement
- Ligaments connect bones and provide stability
- Cartilage protects bones
- Tendons help stabilize joints and keep them from dislocating
- Two types of joints: immovable (e.g., skull) and movable (e.g., elbows, knees)
Muscular System
- Enables movement and stability
- Muscles attached to bones provide support and balance
- Muscles contract and expand to create movement at joints
- Muscles protect internal organs
- Muscles maintain body temperature (37°C)
- Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles differ in function and control:
- Skeletal muscles are voluntary (controlled consciously)
- Cardiac muscles are involuntary (controlled automatically by the heart)
- Smooth muscles are involuntary (e.g., control stomach and intestine movements)
- Muscles work together in paired movements (e.g., biceps and triceps for arm movement)
- Skeletal muscles pull on bones, not push
Bone and Muscle Problems
- Injuries like fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains can affect bones and muscles
- Overuse injuries can develop over time
- Conditions like osteoporosis and muscular dystrophy can cause problems with bones and muscles
- Poor posture, lack of nutrition, and infections can contribute to bone and muscle problems
Caring for Bones and Muscles
- Healthy habits (diet, exercise, posture) can keep bones and muscles healthy
- Diet rich in nutrients (protein, fiber, potassium, Vitamin C) is crucial
- Physical activity (flexibility and strength exercises) strengthens muscles and bones
- Good posture prevents back injuries and overuse
- Avoid heavy backpacks and lift with the legs, not the back
