Project 2: Muscular Disorders Guidelines:
The muscular system makes up nearly half the weight of the human body, this is why when we train we sometimes put on weight instead of losing it. We put on muscle weight. The muscles provide the forces that enable the body to move. Muscles stretch across joints to link one bone with another and work in groups to respond to nerve impulses. There are many disorders that can affect the muscular system. Some are genetic while others have some cause.
Choose from the list below or any other disorder you may know about and answer the following questions or statements in a neat, organized presentation.
Muscular Dystrophy, Rhabdomyolysis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica or Fibromyalgia
1. Briefly discuss a muscle tear, a muscle pull or a muscle strain. 2. Explain what happens when an athlete “pulls a hamstring”. 3. Include the scientific muscle name of the hamstring. 4/5. Choose two disorders from the list above or any other you are interested in.Include at least 2 pictures of muscles, the muscular system or microscope images of the affected areas. 6/7. Symptoms of each disorder. 8/9. Approximate age of individuals with the disorder. 10/11. List some ways to control the pain or discomfort associated with the disorder.
Muscle Cells Guidelines:
Muscle cells are a unique type of cell in the human body due to their unique properties. They are the only cells in the body that are able to contract and relax. In addition, muscle cells along with neurons of the nervous system are the only type of cells that are excitable and are capable of communicating with other cells through an electrical impulse that passes from one cell to another.
TOTAL SLIDES- 12
1. Title your project MUSCLE CELLS 2. Include a picture of all three types of muscle cells. 3. List the functions of muscles. 4/5/6. Completely describe each type of muscle cell and where they are located in the body. In the description be sure to include the number of nuclei, voluntary vs. involuntary and if each is branched and/or striated. 7. Describe the process of muscle contraction. 8. What is unique about the contraction of cardiac muscle? 9. Describe irritability. 10. What effects do steroids have on muscle cells? 11. Explain the role of actin and myosin in muscle contraction. 12. Explain how working out creates LARGER/STRONGER muscles
