Because patients with muscular dystrophy are especially susceptible to muscle damage‚ Physical Therapists‚ who are skilled in the involvement of skeletal muscle and the effects that skeletal muscle has on joints‚ are Ideal clinicians to care for patients with muscular dystrophy. 2 Physical therapy is most successful when it is began as soon as possible‚ preferably right after receiving a diagnosis. This way the physical therapist can teach skills and begin interventions before severe joint tightness

V. Anatomy and Physiology The Urinary Tract The Urinary System rids the body of nitrogenous wastes while regulating water‚ electrolyte‚ and acid-base balance of the blood. Kidneys Kidneys are small‚ dark red organs with a kidney-bean shape lie against the dorsal body wall in a retroperineal position (beneath the parietal peritoneum) in the superior lumbar region. The kidneys extend from T12 to the L3 vertebra; thus they receive some protection from the lower part of the rib cage. Because

to care for your body so you can stay healthy and live well. Your body is made up of systems that each have a job to do. The muscular system is comprised of all the muscles in your body. Muscles are elastic and because of that your muscles could move the organs and bones that they are attached to. So you should protect your muscular system because every part of your body relies on it. Caring for your muscular system can also help prevent health problems and injuries. Some of the injuries include bruises

Case Study 1 1. The Neuromuscular junction uses synapses to connect the muscular system with the muscular system. A nerve impulse is sent from the brain down to the motor neuron by way of the axon. Acetylcholine is released after the vesicles break open. Sodium channels are opened from Acetylcholine that bonds to the Acetylcholine receptors. Depolarization happens when Acetylcholine causes an area of the muscle fiber to become a little more positive when it leaves the nerve and docks on receptors

The Effectiveness of Anesthesia on Spinal Muscular Atrophy Such diseases can affect the muscles. Asides from diseases‚ muscles can also be affected by its conditions. Muscular atrophy is when muscles waste away. Muscle wasting can be caused by a lack of physical activity due to a disease or injury‚ making it difficult or impossible to move certain body parts‚ such as a leg or an arm. There are other causes for muscle atrophy as well‚ but the lack of physical activity occurs to be the main reason
