The skeleton provides five main functions: 1) giving the body shape and support through posture, 2) allowing movement by providing sites for muscle attachment and levers, 3) protecting internal organs, 4) producing red and white blood cells, and 5) storing minerals. The skeleton is divided into the axial skeleton which is the central support and includes the cranium, vertebral column, and rib cage, and the appendicular skeleton which connects the limbs to the axial skeleton and includes bones like the scapula, humerus, femur, and tibia. Red blood cells produced by the skeleton carry oxygen to working muscles for energy production.

ESQUEMA GENERAL DEL MOVIMIENTO
The document summarizes three body systems involved in movement: the nervous system, locomotor system, and cardiorespiratory system. The nervous system sends movement orders from the brain to muscles through the spinal cord and nerves. The locomotor system produces movement using the skeleton and muscles. Muscle contraction causes bone movement. The cardiorespiratory system provides the energy for muscle contraction through oxygen delivery from the lungs to the bloodstream by the heart. Together these systems work to initiate and power physical movement.
Skeletal muscles
Skeletal muscles are also known as striped, striated, somatic or voluntary muscles. They are attached to the skeleton and respond quickly to stimuli, allowing for fast contractions but resulting in easy fatigue. Skeletal muscles give the body its shape and structure, and without them the body would have no form beyond guts and flesh. The human skeletal system consists of an axial and appendicular skeleton that together protect organs and allow for movement.
Chapter 36 lecture- Bones & Muscles
The document summarizes the skeletal, muscular, and integumentary systems of the human body. It describes that the skeletal system provides structure and support through bones and joints. It also outlines the three types of muscle tissue - skeletal, smooth, and cardiac - and how muscles contract. Finally, it discusses the major layers and functions of the skin, hair, and nails as part of the integumentary system.
9 b fit and healthy
The document discusses several body systems and how they work together. It covers the respiratory, digestive, circulatory, skeletal, and muscular systems. It explains how the respiratory system takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide through the lungs and alveoli. The circulatory system then transports oxygen and glucose around the body. Muscles use the energy from glucose to allow movement with the help of the skeletal system. A balanced diet with proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fiber is important for overall health and functioning of these systems. Smoking can damage lungs over time by reducing lung capacity and coating them with tar and other harmful substances.

Muscular tissues
Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles are the three types of muscle tissues in the human body. Skeletal muscles are striated and voluntary, allowing movement of the body. Smooth muscles line organs and structures like the digestive tract, respiratory system, and blood vessels, facilitating involuntary functions. Cardiac muscle makes up the heart walls and contracts rhythmically to pump blood throughout the body without conscious control.
Circulatory and skeletal systems
The circulatory system carries blood throughout the body via the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. The heart pumps oxygenated blood into the arteries, which deliver it to the capillaries where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged; deoxygenated blood then returns to the heart via the veins to repeat the cycle. The circulatory system transports blood, nutrients and waste products between tissues and organs.
Muscle physiology
Muscle cells, also called muscle fibers, make up three types of muscle in the human body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Muscle fibers consist mostly of water, proteins, and inorganic salts. There are around 700 muscles and more than 250 million individual muscle fibers in the human body. Muscles are excitable, meaning they can receive and respond to stimuli by generating electrical impulses that cause contraction. This allows muscles to shorten when stimulated, stretch beyond their resting length, and return to their original length after being stretched.
The Effectors: Muscle
This document discusses the different types of muscle tissue in the human body. There are three main types: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and attaches to bones, allowing movement. Smooth muscle is involuntary and found within organs, controlling functions like digestion. Cardiac muscle is only located in the heart and contracts to pump blood throughout the body. The document also outlines characteristics of all muscles, including their ability to contract, be elastic, stretch, and respond to stimuli.

The circulatory system transports oxygen and nutrients to cells through the blood and removes waste. The respiratory system supplies the circulatory system with oxygen. The nervous system receives information and directs the body's responses. The muscular and skeletal systems work together to enable movement. Together, these interdependent systems allow the body's cells to function properly.
Anatomy: Unit 1 Introduction--Organ System and Organization
This document provides an overview of the major organ systems in the human body. It discusses 14 different systems: nervous, lymphatic, cardiovascular, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, excretory, reproductive, endocrine, and integumentary. Each system is defined by its main functions and the major anatomical structures that comprise it. The organization of living things is also described, from atoms and molecules up through organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and the whole organism. Homeostasis and how involuntary processes work to maintain internal stability is also summarized.
LS 2 2 The Musculatory System
The muscular system is composed of three types of muscle tissues: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles attached to bones that allow movement. They contain striations visible under a microscope. Smooth muscles are involuntary and found within internal organs like the stomach and intestines. They mediate automatic functions. Cardiac muscles are only found in the heart and contract rhythmically to pump blood. The basic contractile unit of muscles is the sarcomere, found within myofibrils bundled together in muscle fibers.
From Cells to Organisms
Cells are the basic unit of life and all living things are made of one or more cells. Unicellular organisms are made of only one cell while multicellular organisms are made of more than one cell, like humans and plants. Cells come in different sizes and types and microscopes are needed to view most cells. Cells have organelles like the nucleus and cytoplasm that allow them to carry out basic functions and they divide through cell division to grow and reproduce. Different cell types specialize in different functions to form tissues, organs, systems and ultimately complex multicellular organisms.

The muscular system contains three types of muscles - cardiac, smooth, and skeletal - which contract through ATP energy. The integumentary system comprises the skin, hair, and nails, forming a protective barrier for the body.
skeleton
The document discusses the human skeletal system. It begins by defining what skeletons are and noting that adults have 206 bones that make up 14% of body weight. As infants, humans have over 300 bones that fuse together during development. The skeleton provides structure, protects internal organs, and works with muscles to allow movement. There are five types of bones: long bones like the femur; short bones in the wrists and ankles; flat bones like the parietal bone; irregular bones like vertebrae; and sesamoid bones embedded in tendons. In summary, the skeletal system gives the body its shape, shields internal structures, and enables mobility through coordination with muscles.
Skeletal Systems
The skeletal system provides structure and protection to the body. There are two types of skeletons - exoskeletons found in arthropods, and endoskeletons found in vertebrates like humans. The human skeleton consists of 206 bones and is made up of bone tissue, cartilage, and ligaments. Bones provide structure, protect organs, allow movement, and store minerals.

Here are the changes I would suggest with ageing for each item:
- Muscle strength - decrease
- Memory and coordination - decrease
- Lung tissue elasticity - decrease
- Lung capacity - decrease
- Max heart rate - decrease
- Artery hardening - increase
The key changes with ageing that affect physical fitness and performance are a general decline in both anaerobic and aerobic capacity. Muscle strength, power and flexibility tend to decrease with ageing due to factors like muscle atrophy and loss of elastic tissues. Cardiovascular and respiratory functions also experience a gradual decline with reductions in maximal heart rate, stroke volume and lung capacity amongst other changes.

This document discusses aerobic capacity and factors that affect it. Aerobic capacity is the ability of the body to take in, transport, and use oxygen during prolonged submaximal exercise. It depends on the efficiency of the pulmonary, cardiovascular, and muscular systems. VO2 max is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption during maximal exercise and is a measure of aerobic endurance. Aerobic training can improve VO2 max by 10-20% through adaptations to these body systems that enhance oxygen intake, transport, and utilization.

Handball is a team sport played with a ball that is passed, thrown, and bounced. The core skills include passing, shooting, dodging, and defending. Some key rules are that players cannot take more than three steps without bouncing the ball, kick the ball, or commit fouls like tripping or pushing. Depending on the infringement, referees can award free throws, penalty throws, yellow or red cards, or change of possession. Throw-ins, corners, and goal-throws are used to restart play after the ball goes out of bounds in different areas of the court.

The skeletal system (thumbs lesson)
The skeleton protects our internal organs and allows us to move. It has six main functions: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals, and endocrine regulation. The main skeletal structures that protect internal organs are the cranium (protecting the brain), ribs and sternum (protecting the lungs, heart and digestive organs), and pelvis (protecting the digestive and reproductive organs). The three main functions of the skeleton are support, which holds organs in place; movement, which occurs through muscles attached to bones; and protection of vital organs like the brain.

The skeletal system provides structure and support to the body, protects vital organs, allows for movement, stores minerals and fat, and produces blood cells. The skeleton is composed of bones of different shapes - long bones in the limbs, short bones in the wrists and ankles, flat bones like ribs, and irregular bones like the sacrum. Bones are joined by sutures or movable joints. The skull consists of the cranium and facial bones. Vertebrae make up the spine and are separated by discs. The rib cage forms a protective cage around the thoracic organs. The shoulder girdle includes the collarbone and shoulder blades. Hands and feet contain carpals/tarsals, metacarpals/
Human body & Musculoskeletal system.pdf
Throughout history, the symbol of the skull and crossbones has served as a representation of mortality, likely owing to the fact that following death and decay, bones are the sole remnants. Many individuals perceive bones as inert, desiccated, and fragile. While these attributes accurately portray the bones of a preserved skeleton, the bones within a living human being are profoundly alive. Living bones exhibit strength and flexibility, serving as the primary components of the skeletal system.

Muscles contract in different ways to move and stabilize the body. Prime movers or agonists are muscles that cause joints to bend or flex, while antagonists cause joints to straighten or extend and hold positions. Fixators work with agonists to maintain body position for movement, and synergists shorten to aid joint motion along with agonists. Isometric contractions occur when muscle length stays the same against resistance. During concentric contractions muscles shorten to move joints, like in bicep curls, while eccentric contractions lengthen under load, such as when lowering a weight.

We provide feedback to help improve performance, give guidance on how to do better next time, and recognize achievements. The appropriate type of feedback depends on the situation, with beginners benefitting most from continuous, intrinsic feedback while competitors may need terminal, extrinsic feedback or positive reinforcement of success. Feedback after a loss should be negative but aim to boost motivation rather than criticize ability.

This document discusses role models in sports. It defines a role model as someone others look up to and aspire to emulate. Good role models compete fairly, inspire others, perform well, set trends, shape attitudes, and are accessible representatives. However, role models also face pressure from media scrutiny, targeting, commercial interests, and expectations to promote their sport. Bad role models demonstrate drug abuse, aggression, cheating, misplaced loyalties, and misconduct outside of sports like drugs, adultery, and avoiding accountability. Specific poor examples mentioned include the Twickenham blood gate scandal, John Terry's racism, the Pakistani cricket team controversies, and Paul Gascoigne's addictions. Role models can positively influence both athletic performance and

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
