Functions of skeletal system | support, movement, protection, blood cell production, calcium storage and endocrine regulation — that enable us to survive. |
Smooth Muscle | muscle tissue in which the contractile fibrils are not highly ordered, occurring in the gut and other internal organs and not under voluntary control |
Involuntary Muscle Action | a muscle that contracts without conscious control and found in walls of internal organs such as stomach and intestine and bladder and blood vessels (excluding the heart) |
Voluntary Muscle Action | muscle whose action is normally controlled by an individual's will; mainly skeletal muscle, composed of parallel bundles of striated, multinucleate fibers. |
Muscular Dystrophy | A group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. |
Osteoporosis | a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D. |
Functions of muscular System | The main function of the muscular system is movement. Muscles are the only tissue in the body that has the ability to contract and therefore move the other parts of the body. |
Fracture | the cracking or breaking of a hard object or material. |
Artery | any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body. |
Cardiac muscle | Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is an involuntary, striated muscle that is found in the walls and histological foundation of the heart, specifically the myocardium |
