It's fun to learn MUSCULAR SYSTEM...
This is primarily a synthesis of the topic including the different types of Muscular System, their movement, functions, sample practical exercises, categories on how muscles got its names, examples of diseases and its causes and effects, and a fun trivia to motivate the class...
Enjoy! God bless you all :)
The muscular system is a complex network of tissues and organs responsible for movement, stability, and heat generation in the human body. Comprising more than 600 individual muscles, it enables various functions, including locomotion, posture maintenance, breathing, and circulation assistance. Muscles are composed of muscle fibers, which are elongated cells capable of contracting and relaxing to generate force. Skeletal muscles, attached to bones via tendons, facilitate voluntary movements, such as walking and lifting objects, under conscious control. Smooth muscles, found in organs like the digestive tract and blood vessels, perform involuntary functions like peristalsis and regulating blood flow. Cardiac muscle, exclusively present in the heart, sustains its rhythmic contractions to pump blood throughout the body. The muscular system works in coordination with the skeletal, nervous, and circulatory systems to ensure efficient movement and overall bodily function. Regular exercise and proper nutrition are essential for maintaining muscular health and strength throughout life.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. WHAT DO OUR MUSCLES DO?
OUR MUSCLES:
• Enable us to move our body parts.
• Give us our individual shape.
• Protect and keep in place our abdominal organs.
• Enable us to maintain good posture.
• Help in the circulation of our blood.
• Generate body heat when they contract.
THERE ARE OVER 600 SKELETAL MUSCLES
IN THE BODY- 150 IN THE HEAD AND NECK.
4. TYPES OF MUSCLE
We can put muscles into 3 types based on
how they work:
• Skeletal/Striped or Voluntary Muscle
• Smooth or Involuntary Muscles.
• Cardiac Muscle
5.
6. SKELETAL or VOLUNTARY MUSCLES
They are under our conscious control.
This means we instruct them to
perform everyday actions such
as walking, running and jumping.
How many can you name?
8. MUSCLE MAIN ACTION(S)
Deltoid Raises your arm sideways at the shoulder
Biceps Bends your arm at the elbow
Abdominals Pull in your abdomen. Flex your trunk so you can bend
forward
Quadriceps Straighten your leg at the knee and keep it straight when
you stand
Pectorals Raises your arm at the shoulder. Draws it across your
chest
Latissimus dorsi Pulls your arm down at the shoulder. Draws it behind your
back
Trapezius Holds and rotates your shoulders. Moves your head back
and sideways
Triceps Straightens your arm at the elbow
Gluteals Pull your leg back at the hip. Raise it sideways at the hip.
Gluteus maximus is the biggest
Hamstrings Bend your leg at the knee
gastrocnemius Straightens the ankle joint so you can stand on tiptoes
9.
10. SMOOTH or INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES
These muscles work automatically – they are not under
our conscious control.
e.g. Muscles of the digestive system.
Can you think of any more?
11. CARDIAC MUSCLE
Cardiac is a special type of involuntary
Muscle.
It is ONLY found in the heart.
It contracts regularly, continuously
and without tiring.
It works automatically but is
under constant nervous and
chemical control.
12. HOW DO OUR MUSCLES WORK?
There are 3 main types of muscular contraction:
• Isotonic and concentric
• Isotonic and eccentric
• Isometric
13. ISOTONIC and CONCENTRIC
• Our muscles shorten as they contract.
• The ends of the muscle move
closer together.
e.g. the biceps during a pull-up
• Most sporting movements
are of this type.
14. ISOTONIC and ECCENTRIC
• Our muscles lengthen as they
contract under tension.
• The ends of the muscle move
further apart.
e.g. the biceps when we
lower down from
a pull-up.
• Plyometric exercise uses
eccentric contractions.
15. ISOMETRIC
• Our muscles stay the same length as they
contract.
• There is no movement, so the
ends of the muscles stay the
same distance apart.
e.g. our shoulder muscles during
a tug of war.
• In many sporting movements the stabilising
muscles hold parts of the body steady as
other parts move.
16. HOW DO MUSCLES WORK TOGETHER?
Muscles can only contract. If one muscle contracts to
bring two bones together another muscle is need to
Contract to bring the bones apart again.
e.g. a bicep curl
So, MUSCLES ALWAYS WORK IN PAIRS
We need large numbers of pairs of muscles to work
together in different ways for even simple body
movements. Our muscles take on different roles
depending on the movement they are performing.
17.
18. MUSCLES CAN WORK AS:
• Flexors – contracting to bend our joints.
• Extensors – contracting to straighten joints.
• Prime movers (agonists) – contracting to start
a movement.
• Antagonists – relaxing to allow movement to
take place.
• Fixators – contracting to give the working
muscles a firm base.
• Synergists – stabilising the area around the
prime mover and fine tuning our movement.
19. HOW ARE MUSCLES ATTACHED TO BONES?
Muscles are usually attached to 2 or more different bones.
The muscle fibres end in a strong, white flexible cord,
called a TENDON. At the bone, the fibres of the tendon
are embedded in the PERIOSTIUM
of the bone. This anchors
the tendon strongly and
spreads the force of the
Contraction
REMEMBER:
Tendons join muscle to bone.
Ligaments join bone to bone.
20. MUSCLE SPEED and TONE
Muscle Fibres
Our muscles are made up cells
called muscle fibres. These tiny
threadlike fibres are packed
together in bundles. Muscles
contract (shorten) because the
fibres do.
Muscle fibres don’t all contract together. The number
contracting at any one time depends on how much force
is needed
21. MUSCLE FIBRE TYPES
We have two different types of fibres in skeletal
muscle:
• SLOW-TWITCH
• FAST-TWITCH
22. FAST-TWITCH MUSCLE FIBRES
• Do not have a good oxygen supply.
• Tire very quickly.
• Are stronger than slow-twitch fibres.
• Contract very quickly.
• Are used when we need fast, powerful
movements.
• Are used only in high intensity exercise.
• Are used in anaerobic activities.
Can you think of sports that use fast-twitch
Fibres?
23. SLOW-TWITCH MUSCLE FIBRES
• Have a very good oxygen supply.
• Work for a long time without tiring.
• Are not as strong as fast-twitch fibres
• Take longer to contract.
• Are used in all types of exercise.
• Are used especially in aerobic activities.
Can you think of sports that use slow-twitch
Fibres?
24. MIXTURE OF MUSCLE FIBRES
Every muscle contains a mixture of fast
and slow twitch muscle fibres. BUT:
• The mixture is different in different muscles
e.g. the gastrocnemius contains a lot of fast
twitch fibres so standing on your toes is tiring
• The mixture is different for different
people. Some distance runners have 80% slow
twitch fibres while some power lifters have
80% fast twitch
25. MUSCLE SPEED and PERFORMANCE
The more fast twitch fibres you have the more
suited you are to sports requiring bursts of
strength and power.
Consider two sprinters X and Y. They are the same
age, weight and fitness. But X has 75% fast twitch
fibres in his legs and Y has 55%.
Who is the quickest?
26. MUSCLE FIBRES and SPORT
If we jog slowly, only a few of our slow-twitch fibres
contract to move our legs. When we increase our speed
we use more slow-twitch fibres. As we run faster our
fast-twitch fibres also start to contract to help out.
More and more will start to contract as we run even
faster. At top speed all of our fast-twitch and slow-
twitch fibres will be working.
MUSCLE CHANGES AND SPORT
Muscle hypertrophy – the muscle increases is size
Muscle atrophy – muscle decreases in size.
27. WHAT HAPPENS AS WE EXERCISE?
• There is an increased flow of blood to the working muscles.
• Muscles take up more oxygen from the blood.
• The muscles contract more often and more quickly.
• More of the muscle fibres contract.
• There is a rise in the temperature of the muscle.
• Our stores of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) and Creatine Phosphate
(CP) in the muscles are used up.
• Waste products such as Carbon Dioxide and Lactic Acid build up in the
muscles.
• These waste products lead to tiredness and cramp.
• Stores of muscle glucose are used up.
• Our ability to carry on may be affected.
• Overuse of muscles can lead to soreness and strains.
28. MUSCLE TONE
Even when a muscle is relaxed, a small number of fibres are
contracted – enough to keep the muscle taut but not enough
to cause movement.
This partial state of contraction is called Muscle Tone
Without muscle tone you would not be able to stand up
straight!
To maintain muscle tone without getting tired, groups of
muscles take it in turns to contact. They work in relays
Poor muscle tone leads to poor posture. Exercise improves
muscle tone – it makes the fibres thicker so they contract
more strongly
