What is the Musculo Skeletal System Composed of?
- skeleton, muscle, cartilage, tendons and connective tissue
What is the function of the Musculo Skeletal System?
- ambulation, perform taks, protect vital organs
How many bones do we have?
206
Properties of the bone?
- Strong and light
- 10 to 12 kgs in weight
- Less metabolic burden`
What is bone a reservoir for?
calcium and phosphate
What is calcium important for?
- muscular contraction, various cellular signaling processes, and blood clotting
What does bone maintain equilibrium between:
- reabsorption: broken down and digested
- deposition: new bone
What does bone look like during childhood?
Deposition exceeds resorption
After 30 years bone is?
Resorption exceeds deposition
Sex hormones play an important role in bone formation:
- Estrogen in females
- Testosterone in males
Bone density:
70% of bone strength
- Bone density decreases with age after 30 yrs
- Decrease in estrogen (menopause) and testosterone
concentrations
Osteoporosis:
Disease that thins and weakens the
bones to the point that they become fragile and
break easily.”
* ‘Silent Thief:’ no symptoms
Problems of Osteoporosis:
- increased fracture risk
- lifetime osteoporotic risk for fracture
Prevalence of Osteoporosis:
- Overall
- 10 million US adults have osteoporosis
- 55% older adults
- Sex
- 8 million (80%) women
- 2 million (20%) men
Mechanism Loading:
Strain exerted on the bone
Necessary characteristics to promote growth:
- unique strain
- variable strain
What about bone is similar to muscle?
- Localized to site where strain is applied
- After a while: Plateau effect
HIgh impact force strain :
gravitational
- running
- jjumping
Loading effect of high impact strain?
Contact between body and a surface
* Force production
* Running: ~ 3 to 6 times body weight
* Jumping: ~6 times body weight
where does impact force go for high impact?
through the skelton up to hip
Joint reaction strain:
muscle contraction
Joint reaction force
* Muscle is generating the force
* Force generated equal to the weight lifted
Where does the force go, joint reaction strain?
Where does the force go?
* Bone bends
* Force exerted where the muscle attaches
* Possibly a little in surrounding area of attachment
Energy Expenditure: Basal or Resting Metabolism
- minimum E to keep an awake body alive is 60-70% of total E expenditure
- this incluse E needed for maintaining heartbeat, respirations, and body temp.
Thermic effects on food:
- Energy used to digest, absorb, and metabolize
food nutrients - “Sales tax” of total energy consumed
- ~5-10% of energy expenditure
