Because bone is unbending‚ it gives the body a structure‚ maintains its shape‚ and protects essential organs. Bones provide a place for muscles and supporting structures to attach‚ and‚ with the movable joints. A joint is a place of union between two or more bones that may be movable or immovable. Bone also functions as a place for mineral storage

Skeletal muscle moves because we want it to. It is controlled voluntarily (consciously). There is 2 types of contraction Isometric: As the muscle contracts‚ it remains the same length whilst the tension increases in an attempt to overcome the opposing force. Example: Holding a glass of water still in front of you. Isotonic: As the muscle contracts its length changes whilst the tension remains constant or develops to overcome the opposing force. Example: Lifting a glass of water to your mount and

Animals with backbones and spinal columns have a central and a peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is made up of the brain‚ spinal cord and retina. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons‚ ganglia

parallel to the radius. The scapula is also known as the shoulder blade. It is the bone that connects the humerus with the clavicle. It is a paired with the scapula on the other side of the body. It is a flat bone that forms the back of the shoulder girdle. The pelvis is located in the lower part of the body between the thigh and the abdomen. In mammals‚ the bony pelvis has a gap in the middle. This gap is significantly larger in females than in males. This is where babies pass through when they are

function Here’s a list of the nine forms of muscular dystrophy: Becker Muscular Dystrophy Age of onset: 2 to 16 years Symptoms: Similar to Duchenne MD‚ but less severe. They include general muscle weakness‚ especially in the upper leg and arms‚ and pelvic muscles. Calf muscles are generally hypertrophic (bigger than usual). Heart problems are also possible Rate of Progression: Slower than Duchenne MD Expected Lifespan: Well into middle age Inheritance: X-linked recessive. BMD primarily affects young
