Page 50 50 The Body Systems: Clinical and Applied Topics The Skeletal System 6 The skeletal framework of the body is composed of at least 206 bones and the associated tendons, ligaments, and cartilages. The skeletal system has a variety of important functions, including the support of soft tissues, blood cell production, mineral and lipid storage, and, through its relationships with the muscular system, the support and movement of the body as a whole. Skeletal system disorders can thus affect many

The muscular system derives of smooth muscles, skeletal muscles, and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscles are those that surround hollow organs while skeletal muscles attach the skeleton to form the flesh of the body and cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Just like any other body system, there can be affective problems. Neuromuscular junction disorders impair the transmission of nerve signals to muscles. Myasthenia Gravis is the most common neuromuscular junction disorder. The discovery of Myasthenia

The fascination and mystical interest in the study and examination of prehistoric human skeletal remains have been well documented in ancient medical documents and historical records. Anthropologists study and analyze the human skeletal remains to obtain information from a particular sample of ancient individuals in order to understand how the population as a whole experienced and responded to social interactions. Because palaeopathologists have access to all portions of a skeleton, the morbid
