Musculoskeletal System
The musculoskeletal system, also called the locomotor system, is an organ system that gives humans and animals the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. It provides stability, form, support, and movement to the body. The skeleton is composed of bones (skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The musculoskeletal system is subdivided into two broad systems, such as the muscular system and the skeletal system.
Skeletal structure
The skeletal system is the core framework of the human body. The skeletal structure comprises bones and connective tissue, including cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. The skeletal structure of our body acts as a support structure. It maintains the body's shape and is responsible for its movement, blood cell formation, protection of organs, and mineral storage. The skeletal system is referred to as the musculoskeletal system.
Name the disorder due to deficency of thyroxine.
The thyroid gland is situated beneath the skin and muscle at the anterior region of the neck. This gland has a brownish-red color. This gland comprises left and right halves referred to as lobes. They look like the wings of a butterfly. They aid in the regulation of the development of the secondary organs. This gland releases hormones thyroid that is referred to as "tri-iodothyronine" (T3) and "thyroxine" (T4). These hormones are passed into bloodstream and help in maintaining the body’s metabolism.
