Interactions Between the Muscular and Five Other Systems

Interactions Between the Muscular and Five Other Systems By Kazuki

Content § § § § § Our Body’s Power Station Different types Muscular and skeletal system Muscular and nervous system Muscular and respiratory system Muscular and digestive system Muscular and circulatory system Did you know facts Conclusion

Our Body’s Power Station § § § Muscles are a connection of tissues Converts energy into pulling power Protects bones and controls movement Gives outline and posture to bodies Linked to nearly every body system

Different Types of Muscles § Skeletal Muscle - wraps around the bone § Cardiac Muscle - only found by the heart, helps the heart beat § Smooth Muscle - you can’t control, e. g. allows you to eat

1. Muscular and Skeletal Systems § Skeletal system has 206 bones: § Supports body § Makes red and white blood cells § Protects organs § Muscles are attached to bones in pairs § Allows independent movement

§ If the muscular system was removed § Your bones will be un-protected § You will have no strength § You will not be able to move properly

2. Muscular and Nervous Systems § All muscles are controlled by nervous system § Nervous system consists of: § Spinal cord, brain, nerves § Nerves deliver messages to and from the brain

§ Lets us jump, run and lift things (voluntary) § If the weather is cold your nerves will tell the muscles to contract and produce heat (involuntary) § If the muscular system was removed § We will have no way to move around

3. Muscular and Respiratory Systems § Diaphragm in the chest helps us breathe § Diaphragm is the main breathing muscle § The lungs rest on the diaphragm § Helps us breathe when we are not doing exercise

§ If the muscular system was removed § It will be very hard to breathe, movement will be very limited

4. Muscular and Digestive Systems § Muscles push food down the throat § The muscles in your stomach and the acids work together to churn up food § Muscles push the rest of the food through the intestinal tract

§ If the muscular system was removed § It may not be possible to digest food § We would not survive without food

5. Muscular and Circulatory Systems § Your heart is the most important muscle in your body § It pumps blood all around the body § Your heart will become stronger when it is always exercised

§ If the muscular system was removed § You will not be able to breathe § Blood will not get around your body

Investigating a Spinal Cord Injury § Loss of movement because muscles will not receive messages § Loss of sensation as your body will not know how to maintain temperature § Difficulty in breathing as muscles such as diaphragm becomes weak

§ Neurogenic shock is when heart rate slows and blood pressure decreases § There is no way to reverse the damage § Treatment focuses on prevention and rehabilitation

Did you Know? § That your heart will beat about 3 million times in a lifetime § Your largest muscle is the Gluteus Maximus (bottom) § There are more then 600+ voluntary muscles in the body § Takes 17 muscles in your face to smile § Your hand has 20 different muscles

Did you know? § Takes 43 muscles to frown § You take 5, 000 steps per year using your leg muscles § We need 72 muscles to speak § Your busiest muscles are your eye muscles; they move 100, 000 times a day

Conclusion § If we didn't have a muscular system we would not survive § Your body relies on the muscular system § The muscular system is critical to how the human body works today § Without the muscular system: § § § Blood cannot be pumped around the body Food cannot be digested We would not be able to move
