Skeletal System
The internal framework of the human body
What is the skeletal system?
Organ system made up of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle
What is the muscular system?
Allows muscles and bones to interact and produce movement
What are tendons?
Group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and a loss of muscle mass
What is muscular dystrophy?
Possible cure for muscular dystrophy
What are viral vectors?
Gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs, and stores minerals
What is the function of the skeletal system?
Responsible for movement
What is the function of the muscular system?
Bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, connective tissues
What is the muscular
Inheriting a faulty gene from one or both parents
What causes muscle dystrophy?
Our cure to muscular dystrophy
What is gene therapy?
Skull, clavicle, scapula, sternum, ribs, vertebral column, pelvis, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges
What makes up the skeletal system?
Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle
What makes up the muscular system?
Muscles from the muscular system attach to the bones from the skeletal system and pull on them to allow movement of the body
How are the muscular and skeletal systems dependent on each other?
Need a wheelchair, trouble breathing and swallowing, decreased muscle mobility
What are some of the symptoms of muscular dystrophy?
Periosteum, compact bone, spongy bone, bone marrow
What do the bones in the skeletal system consist of?
Hinge joints, pivot joints, ball-and-socket joints, immovable/fibrous joints, partially movable/cartilaginous joints, freely movable/synovial joints
What joints make up the muscular system?
Affected posture and walking, weakness, and slowed movement
How do small changes on one muscle affect the whole system?
Heart, gastrointestinal system, endocrine glands, spine, eyes, brain, and other organs
What organs does muscular dystrophy affect?
Cartilage, joints, ligaments, tendons
What holds the skeletal system together?
When an action potential travels along the nerves to the muscles
What causes muscles to contract?
Eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and seeing your provider for checkups
What keeps your muscular-skeletal system healthy?
Lack of this protein in muscular dystrophy
What is dystrophin?
One of the solutions for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and evaluation of genetic diversity by avoiding these genome complexities of the Triticeae
What is RNA sequencing?
