Section 17.3- The muscular system makes movement possible Vocabulary 1. Muscular system- The muscles of the body that together with the skeletal system, function to produce movement 2. Skeletal muscle – A muscle that attaches to the skeleton 3. Voluntary muscle- A muscle that can be moved at will 4. Smooth muscle- Muscle that performs involuntary movement and is found inside certain organs such as the stomach 5.
Muscles will weaken with age which causes stiffness and weakness to certain areas of the body. When moving or repositioning an individual it is important to be very careful because muscles can only move as much as they can. Bones in limbs are covered in tissue. It is vital to not put too much pressure on an individual’s arm, leg, and hands as it could lead to a fracture due to the fact bones aren’t as strong in elderly people. 1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual?
Outcome 1 Understand anatomy and physiology in relation to moving & positioning individuals. 1.1 Bones and muscles are concerned with the movement of the body. The skeleton is a rigid framework that gives shape and support to the body and is jointed to permit movement. The vertebral column is the basis of the skeleton and consists of a series of bony rings united by inter-vertebral discs of cartilage. All bones give attachment to muscles, which are responsible for 50% of our body weight and also permit movement.
Until you receive help, splint the affected joint into its fixed position. Don't try to move a dislocated joint or force it back into place. This can damage the joint and its surrounding muscles, ligaments, nerves or blood vessels. Put ice on the injured joint. This can help reduce swelling by controlling internal bleeding and the build-up of fluids in and around
A tendon is tissue that connects muscles to bones. It is the muscles job to move the skeletal structure of the body. When a muscle contracts it creates a pulling motion. It is the connection of the tendon that acts as an elastic band, this allowes a contraction to move the bones. What is a ligament made of?
Lever; almost always the bone Fulcrum; the pivot point of the lever in which is usually the joint. Muscle force; the force that drives the opposite ends of the muscles together. Resistive force; the force generated by a factor to the external body Torque; the degree in which a force tends to rotate an object. http://www.answers.com/topic/first-class-lever http://www.answers.com/topic/first-class-lever There are three different types of levers in the body; First-class, Second-class and Third-class. First-class; when the muscle force and resistive force is on different sides of the fulcrum e.g.
Care should be taken not to force movement beyond the person’s ability so as not to cause unnecessary pain. Parkinson’s disease; sufferers can experience limbs that are rigid so this can affect movement and positioning. People with this condition need not to be rushed they need time to move and to initiate movement so they don’t cause discomfort and pain not everyone can tell you they are in pain so nonverbal signs of pain should be observed, Amputation; the loss of a leg can
[TYPE THE COMPANY NAME] DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THREE MUSCLE TYPES SKELETOL, SMOOTH AND CARDIAC MUSCLE ... GAOLATLHE THABISO KWENAMORE 24 SEPTEMBER 201101827 BIO 231 INTRODUCTION Muscles are multicellular contractile units. They are divided into three types which are skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle and classification is done according to their structure, location and their function (Tortora and Derrickson,2011). Skeletal muscle is mainly responsible for the movement of the skeleton, but is also found in organs such as the globe of the eye and the tongue. It is a voluntary muscle, and therefore under conscious control, skeletal muscle is specialized for rapid and forceful contraction of short duration (Bevan et al,1996). In describing the cellular components of skeletal muscle, several specialized terms are used such as the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle is called the sarcolemma; its cytoplasm is known as sarcoplasm; the endoplasmic reticulum is called the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
They may non weight bearing on affected leg and may be reliant on walking aids such as crutches or zimmer frames. Arthritis will also make it hard for a patient to move around as the joints will stiffen, especially after sitting for long periods of time. A Parkinsons sufferer will be unsteady on their feet and easily become off balance reducing the amount the person can walk, also their proprioception is affected and they will bump into objects. Also a person with limited or no sight will find mobility difficult as they may be limited to a very small area which they know well to move about in. Any health condition which affects balance such as inner ear problems will affect mobility as balance is very important to mobility.
It has been shown that in order to recover faster from an ankle sprain, rigid immobilization of the affected foot must be observed. Doctors can apply a post-mold cast to immobilize the area below and above your injured ankle. To facilitate your mobility, you might also need to use the best crutches for exercise injuries to help you move around. 3. ACL or PCL injuries.
