Muscular Dystrophy Muscular Dystrophy is a general term for a number of hereditary‚ degenerative disorders affecting skeletal muscles‚ and often other organs. It is a genetic disease that causes constant degeneration of the muscles. There are over 30 kinds of Muscular Dystrophy. Some forms of Muscular Dystrophy affect involuntary organs like the heart. This muscular disease can be seen in during infancy or may not be known until much later on in life. Muscular Dystrophy is different for each person

Muscular endurance is very important for people playing sports and who have to sustain an activity for long periods of time. Muscular endurance is determined by how well your slow twitch muscle fibers are developed. In case your wondering what slow twitch muscle fibers are‚ I will explain. There are generally two types of muscle fibers in your body‚ slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch muscle fibers cannot exert as much force as fast twitch‚ but can sustain an effort over a much greater period

BSC2085 Anatomy-Physiology 1 Exam 2 Study Guide‚ Chapters 5 & 6 There are only four primary tissue types found in adult organs; epithelial‚ connective‚ nervous‚ and muscular tissue. Epithelial tissue lines body cavities‚ covers the body surface‚ and forms the lining of many organs. Connective tissue serves in most cases to bind organs to each other. Nervous tissue and muscular tissue are considered excitable tissues because they are very sensitive to outside stimuli. A simple epithelium consists

Explain the relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems. The relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems is that we are made up of bones all throughout our body and we need this to stand and hold our body together‚ similar to the skeletal system the muscular system is made up of soft tissue and is lined all over our body. We could not stand without the system as well. 2. Why is the circulatory system important? This system is important because it is used to circulate blood
