Muscular System: The muscular systems is responsible for maintaining posture, circulating blood, and movement. Visceral muscle is found inside of organs like the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. The stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. The muscular system also has another variant which is skeletal muscle. The skeletal muscles are attached to bones and move various parts of the body. The biceps, pectoralis major, triceps, nasalis, and deltoid are five major organs in the muscular system. The biceps main job is to control the movement of the elbow and shoulder. The pectoralis major make up most of the chest bulk. The triceps help extend and retract the forearm. The nasalis compress nasal cartilage. The deltoid is responsible…

What is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and where does it come from? Firstly, it is a kind of muscle dystrophy. The word dystrophy refers to when an organ or tissue wastes away. A muscle dystrophy is a group of many inherited disorders that cause loss of muscle tissue and weakness in muscles. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness caused by a defective gene for dystrophin, a protein in the muscles, and founded by French neurologist Guillaume Benjamin Amand Duchenne in the late 19th century.…
Spinal muscular atrophy [SMA] is a disorder in which, you have a loss of motor neurons. Your muscle symmetry is often off. In addition, there is muscle weakness in your spinal cord. This occurs in a hard time sitting up and holding your head up on your own. It is just like when you are a newborn and you need a pillow to sit on the couch. A few major causes of SMA are loss of motor neuron cells or nerve cell. This mutation leads to a deficiency of motor neuron cells or nerve cells. The disorder SMA is tied to the gene "SMN1" and tied to chromosome 5. A few symptoms of this disorder are- difficulty breathing lack of oxygen, difficulty eating, floppy posture, small amount of movement, and all these symptoms will gradually get worse over time. All these symptoms are at about a mild level in the beginning.…
Duchenne muscular dystrophy has no cure, hence treatment focuses primarily on the underlying symptoms. Essentially, medical treatment includes administration of albuterol, amino acids, carnitine, coenzymes Q10, creatine, fish oil, green tea extracts, and vitamins. Other treatments to help minimize life-threatening conditions includes assisted ventilation, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics, proton pump inhibitors, and orthopedic appliances.…

IDEA specifies an orthopedic impairment “includes impairments caused by a congenital anomaly [birth defects], impairments caused by disease (e.g., poliomyelitis, bone tuberculosis), and impairments from other causes (e.g., cerebral palsy, amputations, and fractures or burns that cause contractures).” IDEA’s definition shows that orthopedic impairments can result from numerous causes. While most of the causes listed are simple, some may need further investigation. An evaluation is required for a disability to be classified as an orthopedic impairment. This process generally includes a medical assessment performed by a doctor, detecting how the impairment may impact a child’s academic performance and may observe the child in his or her educational atmosphere.…

• Health status: From common colds to serious illness, a child’s health status will impact upon their development in some way. Frequent colds or other mild illness, for example, could mean low school attendance rates which not only impacts on a child’s classroom learning but can also affect a child’s social and emotional development by having less exposure to playing with peers, less time to form meaningful friendships and missing out on the opportunity to grow in confidence and social skills. A child with a chronic illness, such as juvenile arthritis, may suffer the same disadvantages due to frequent hospital appointments. In addition, suffering chronic pain can render a child less able to concentrate, thus affecting their cognitive development. Not being able to play the same games or not being able to take part fully in PE lessons or afterschool clubs can affect a child’s confidence. In turn this could affect a child’s language and communication development. Moreover, these disadvantages are on top of the more obvious effects of a serious disease – in the case of arthritis, problems with bone development and growth. When one aspect of a child’s development is significantly influenced, other aspects will also be influenced. Although Teachers and Teaching Assistants cannot cure arthritis, they can certainly mitigate the effects of the disease on aspects of development other than bone growth.…
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that can get worse with time. Your bones become fragile due to losing bone mineral density and bone mass. People do not realize this disease is occurring because they cannot feel their bones becoming weaker ("What is osteoporosis," 2011). Osteoporosis is most likely caused by three imbalances in the human body. Cause number one is a low magnesium/high calcium ratio. Cause number two is your female/male hormone is low. Cause number three is a low thyroid function ("The causes of osteoporosis,").…
