The document discusses the muscular system and some common muscle problems. It describes muscles like the triceps, biceps, pectoral and gluteal muscles. Common problems include atony where muscles lose elasticity, Zenker's degeneration caused by infectious diseases, and pelvic floor muscle disorders. The document recommends resting injured muscles, applying ice, and compression. It also discusses the future of artificial muscles and their potential use in robots, as they could be stronger than human muscles. However, current artificial muscles are not as advanced as natural muscles.

7. Problems that occur with The
Muscular System
 Atony, where the muscles lose elasticity.
This makes the muscles tighten and make
you feel stiff and sore.

8. Atony picture.

9. Zenker's degeneration
 Zenker's Degeneration: Various infectious
diseases like typhoid fever, toxaemia, etc.
cause the degeneration of skeletal
muscles.

10. Zenker’s degeneration picture.

11. Pelvic Floor Muscle Disorder
 Pelvic Floor Muscle Disorder: In the pelvic
floor muscle disorder, muscles that form
the pelvic floor remain in a
contracted/tightened position. Possible
reasons behind tightening of muscles
could be stress or trauma.

13. How can we care for our
muscles?
 we can keep the correct posture whilst
we are sitting and working.
 Maintaining a normal weight means you
don’t have to work your muscles harder.

14. 3 ways to treat a torn muscle!
 #1 Rest the muscle. When you strain a
muscle, stop doing the activity that
caused it to be strained.

15. 3 ways to treat a torn muscle!
 #2 Ice the muscle. Icing the area reduces
swelling and helps ease the pain.
 Wrap it in a thin towel, to protect your
skin from getting damaged by direct ice.
Hold the ice pack to your sore area for 20
minutes at a time until it stops hurting.

16. 3 ways to treat a torn muscle!
 #3 Compress the area. Wrapping the site
of the pulled muscle can reduce
inflammation and provide support to
prevent further injury.
 Don't wrap the area too tightly, or you
might stop circulation.

17. The Future of Muscles
 Muscles have been used for a very long time
but can science make artificial muscles?
 Robots are the future and if robots are to be
like humans didn't they need human muscles
 Since we can’t take muscles from humans so
we have to create artificial muscles
 Artificial muscles can be stronger then
human muscles and sometimes even lighter
 If you lose muscles in a fight or something like
that artificial muscles can fix that

18. The Future of Muscles
Continue
 Right now artificial muscles are still not as
advance
 the future could make even better
artificial muscles with new thing and stuff
 One thing is for sure robots need artificial
muscles

19. Even more The Future of
Muscles
 Artificial muscles can lift loads 200 times
heavier then a human muscle can
 In tests muscles made from twisted strands
of carbon yarn were able to pull 100,000
times there own weight
 You might think this a breakthrough in
human muscles but they aren’t suitable
for replacing human muscles
