  2. Musculoskeletal SystemLearning Objectives • Define, understand and correctly pronounce medical terms related to the musculoskeletal system • Describe common diseases and conditions with an overview of various treatments related to the musculoskeletal system

  3. Musculoskeletal System Overview • Muscular components • Muscles • Skeletal components • Bones of the skeleton • Joints Source: (MedlinePlus, 2011)

  4. Musculoskeletal System • Functions • Internal framework of body • Supports body • Protects internal organs • Produces body movement Source: (MedlinePlus, 2011)

  5. Musculoskeletal System 2 • Bones are connected to each other to form the skeleton • Framework for the body • 206 bones • Joints • Places where two bones meet • Held together by ligaments • Give flexibility to skeleton • Muscles are connected to the skeleton

  6. Myopathy • Can cause weakness, pain or even paralysis • Some causes include • Injury or overuse, such as sprains or strains, cramps or tendinitis • Genetics, such as muscular dystrophy • Some cancers • Inflammation • Diseases of nerves that affect muscles • Infections • Certain medicines

  7. Myositis • Inflammation of your skeletal muscles • Common causes: injury, infection or autoimmune disease • Polymyositis • muscle weakness, usually in the muscles closest to the trunk of your body • Dermatomyositis • muscle weakness, plus a skin rash • Both diseases are usually treated with prednisone, a steroid medicine, and sometimes other medicines

  8. Myositis 2 • Diagnosing – complicated and lengthy • Conventional blood tests • Muscle and skin biopsies

  9. Myositis 3 • Diagnosing • Electro-diagnostic tests • Antibody testing • Treatment • Varies from patient to patient • Combination of drugs, physical therapy, dietary supplements

  10. Muscular Dystrophy • Causes muscle weakness and muscle loss • Muscles get weaker over time • No cure • Treatments • Physical and speech therapy • Orthopedic devices • Surgery • Medications

  11. Muscular System Combining Forms

  12. The Spinal (Vertebral) Column • Divided into five sections • Cervical • Thoracic • Lumbar • Sacrum • Coccyx (Author: LadyofHats)

  13. Upper Extremity • Arm • Humerus– upper arm • Ulna – part of forearm • Radius – part of forearm • Carpals – wrist bones • Metacarpals – hand bones • Phalanges – finger bones (Author: LadyofHats)

  14. Lower Extremity • Leg • Femur – thigh bone • Patella – knee cap • Tibia – shin bone • Fibula – lower leg bone • Tarsals – ankle bones • Metatarsals – foot bones • Phalanges – toe bones (Author: LadyofHats)

  15. Fractures • Types of fractures • Open or compound fracture • Closed facture • Stress fracture • Common causes • Car accidents • Falls • Sports injuries • Osteoporosis, which causes weakening of the bones

  16. Fracture Symptoms • Misshapen limb or joint • Swelling, bruising or bleeding • Intense pain • Numbness and tingling • Limited mobility

  17. Arthritis • Joint inflammation • Pain • Swelling • Inflammation • Stiffness • Types • Osteoarthritis • Rheumatoid • Juvenile rheumatoid • Infectious arthritis

  18. Osteoporosis • Makes your bones weak and likely to break • Common in older women • Risk factors include • Getting older • Being small and thin • Having a family history of osteoporosis • Taking certain medicines • Being a white or Asian woman • Having osteopenia (low bone mass)

  19. Preventing, Stopping or Slowing Osteoporosis • Calcium • Vitamin D • Exercise • Medications

  20. Skeletal System Combining Forms

  21. Tell me, Detective . . . • Mary is an 84-year-old white female. She recently fell and fractured her femur. The doctor ordered a test which showed loss of bone density. This fracture was probably due to: • Stress • Arthritis • Osteoporosis

  22. Musculoskeletal System Summary • Define, understand and pronounce medical terms • Describe common diseases and conditions • Describe laboratory and diagnostic procedures • Identify procedures and medications
