Body Systems Preparation Part III In the reading from the book, Human Body Systems, team A will give a brief overview of the skeletal, muscular, encoring and male and female reproductive systems and explain what we did or did not already know, what we found interesting and why, as well as what we learned from this week that can help team A with week five presentation. In chapter eleven, on the skeletal system, the human skeleton consists of 206 bones and provides support to our bodies. After reading

Table 1 shows the different disorders that may overlap with Marfan Syndrome because of their clinical features. It is therefore important that all these clinical manifestations are ruled out before diagnosing an individual of a potential disorder. A disorder that overlaps mostly with the many features of the Marfan syndrome is Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) as a result of mutations in TGFBR2, TGFBR1, SMAD3 and TGFB2.4 Patients with LDS present with malar hypoplasia, arched palate, scoliosis, dural ectasia

The illness that I have chosen is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [Commonly known as Motor Neurone Disease]. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that spontaneously breaks down the tissues in the nervous system;the causes are unknown. The cells in the Nervous System that help transmit nerve impulses that control voluntary muscle movements are called Motor Neurons. These Motor Neurons spontaneously

(Mador and Bozkanat, 2001). This will also affect the skeletal muscle pump which functions to increase venous return. Less venous return will then lead to a decreased stroke volume and cardiac output. So as they atrophy, it becomes harder for the skeletal muscle pump to work and return enough blood. Less blood is returned and less oxygen is reaching the blood (Visca et al,

Jacob Nedrow Skeletal system This system includes all bones and joints in the body. Each bone is complex organ made of cells. The skeleton acts as a scaffold by supporting and protecting soft tissues that make rest of the body. It provides attachment points for muscles; allows movement. The skeleton grows through childhood; it’s the framework for body. The bones are arranged into two major divisions; axial skeleton; appendicular skeleton. Axial- skull, hyoid, Auditory ossicles, ribs, sternum

The good news is that about 1/3 of kids recover by the age of 2. Negative aspects of this disease may be: * Feeding problems, because

MIXED CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASE Dominique Lewis Anatomy & Physiology I | BIO1011 15 South University . Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) What’s considered to be an autoimmune disorder, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) is one of the most puzzling diseases due to its overlapping characteristics. These overlapping characteristics include the diseases systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis, and polymyositis (http://lup.sagepub.com/content/15/3/132.short).
