Muscular Dystrophy is a disorder that is passed down through families‚ and can occur in both adulthood‚ and childhood. There are multiple types of Muscular Dystrophy such as Becker MD‚ Duchenne MD(deadly)‚ Emery-Deifuss MD‚ Facioscapulohumeral MD‚ Limb-Girdle MD‚ Myotonia MD‚ Mytonic MD etc.. Symptoms related to muscular dystrophy inlcue muscle weakness(slowly gets worse over time)‚ delayed development to muscle motor skills‚ loss of strength in a muslce/group of muscles‚ loss in muscle size‚ difficulty

Essential Question The essential question was “How do the skeletal and muscular systems work together to allow the body to move‚ like waving?” The human body is a very complex thing‚ and performing a simple task‚ such as waving to another person‚ involves a lot of work. The muscular system is very important in the aid of movement. It works alongside the skeletal system‚ which is equally as important. The skeletal system is significant to the life of an organism‚ as it performs many functions

Muscular dystrophy (MD) can be described as a group of diseases that cause continuing weakness and loss of muscle mass. (Article 1‚ pg.1) Muscular dystrophy effects homeostasis because abnormal genes (mutations) interrupts the production of proteins that the body needs to form healthy muscle. (Article 1‚ pg.1) The nine major forms of muscular dystrophy are Myotonic‚ Duchenne‚ Becker‚ Limb-girdle‚ Facioscapulohumeral‚ Congenital‚ Oculopharyngeal‚ Distal‚ and Emery-dreifuss. (Article 2‚ pg.1-2) The

Definition • Muscular Dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness & a loss of muscle mass • In MD‚ abnormal genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle • There are many different kinds of Muscular Dystrophy • Symptoms of the most common variety begin in childhood‚ primarily in boys • Other types don’t surface until adulthood Definition Cont… • Some people who have MD will eventually lose the ability to walk • Some may have trouble

Cyril MIller Per.6 Spinal Muscular Atrophy Spinal muscular atrophy is a group of inherited diseases that cause muscle damage and weakness‚ which get worse over time and eventually lead to death. Causes: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a collection of different muscle diseases. Grouped together‚ it is the second leading cause of hereditary neuromuscular disease‚ after Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Most of the time‚ a person must get the defective gene from both parents to be affected. About 4

The muscular system is what is responsible for the way that we move. Without the muscular system‚ we wouldn’t be able to participate in the normal activities that we do today. There are 700 known/named muscles that are attached to the human skeleton. There are three different types of muscle that can be found in the human body. The Visceral muscle which can be found inside organs such as the stomach. This type of muscle is controlled by the unconcious part of the brain. This muscle is also known

Muscular Dystrophy‚ Affects and Diagnosis Muscular dystrophy or MD is a broad medical term used to refer to a number of muscle diseases that weaken the musculoskeletal system and hampers movement according to Yeole‚ Gurunani‚ Dhole and Yogesh (2014). Emery (2002) states these disorders produce muscle wasting and weakness of variable distribution and severity. Muscular dystrophies are caused by genetic mutations that have a progressive degenerative effect on an individual’s muscles stated Punnoose

at an early age may be due to Muscular Dystrophy‚ also called (MD). Muscular dystrophy is a genetic mishap that weakens the body’s muscles. There is no single disease called muscular dystrophy. Muscular Dystrophy refers to a group of more than 30 inherited diseases. These diseases affect the voluntary or skeletal muscles‚ which control the movements of legs‚ arms‚ and other limbs. Some organs‚ such as the heart and the gut‚ are also affected by the disease. Muscular Dystrophy can prevent the movement
