diseases are not curable but treated with pharmaceutical and herbal substances. The cartilage in the joint is broken down and causes the ligaments and tendons to loosen giving less support‚ such things as braces may also be used to get the joint in place as best as possible. In some cases patients have to undergo surgery to fix the ligaments‚ joint‚ and tendons. Some cases the pain can come and go away on its own it can be there for a long period of time then can go away on its own for a period of time

Introduction: The capacity to perform physical exercise has been of paramount importance in the continuous process of animals’ adaptation to the environment throughout evolution. When challenged with any physical task‚ the human body responds through a series of integrated changes in function that involve most‚ if not all‚ of its physiological systems. Movement requires activation and control of the musculoskeletal system; the cardiovascular and respiratory systems provide the ability to

result of overuse and repetitive high stresses. In many cases‚ pain will resolve when the athlete stops throwing. It is uncommon for many of these injuries to occur in non-throwers. The human arm is a very complex system of bones‚ ligaments‚ muscles‚ tendons and tissue. The shoulder and elbow are the main sources of throwing injuries in

makes the muscles either become shorter or longer. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. When a muscle shortens it pulls on the tendon which then pulls on the bone‚ then making the movement. When moving and positioning an individual all movements must happen slowly and smoothly. If this does not happen‚ sudden movements or pulling in any direction of the individual can cause pulled muscles or torn tendons which can be excruciatingly painful. Bones are important too.

When studying the human body‚ there are seven organizational approaches. Each approach studies the body in a different yet unique way and is used in the health care field. The approaches consist of; body planes and directions‚ body cavities‚ quadrants and regions‚ anatomy and physiology‚ microscopic and macroscopic‚ body systems and medical specialties. There are three body planes which use different directions: coronal‚ sagittal‚ and transverse planes. Coronal plane slices the body from head

1. Compare the reaction times for voluntary vs. involuntary activation of the quadriceps muscle. What might account for the observed differences in reaction times? Outline what has to occur in the body for each reaction to occur. Refer to your drawing from Step 24. Information from the flow chart you created in Activity 2.2.1 might also be helpful. The involuntary activation of the quadriceps muscle was faster than voluntary time; the reason could be that when you had to hear the sound for

the live-action potential of the chemistry between the functions of the nervous‚ muscular‚ and the skeletal system. For these actions to take place‚ the skeletal system must first be established and erected along with the cartilage‚ ligaments‚ and tendons attaching bones‚ muscle to bones‚ and articulation for movements. When a football player sprints on the field during a game‚ he must have the mineral and calcium to supply the bone for strength. The nervous system will come into play‚ to send the
