Question
Chapter 26, Problem 1PIT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way by which the musculoskeletal system maintains homeostasis.
Introduction:
The musculoskeletal system consists of the skeletal system (hydroskeletal, endoskeletal and exoskeletal) and skeletal muscles (muscle fibers). The endoskeletal system consists of bones, bone tissues, and cartilage; whereas, the muscle fibers consist of actin, myosin, and motor neurons.

Provide a comprehensive description of the anatomy and physiology of the human musculoskeletal system, accompanied by an illustrative diagram. Subsequently, utilize the diagram to elucidate how the musculoskeletal system interacts with and supports various physiological processes, including posture, movement, and force generation. Explain the mechanisms through which muscles, tendons, and bones work together to facilitate these functions, and how disruptions in this system can lead to musculoskeletal disorders.

- Calmodulin is found in smooth muscle cells and performs a similar function to troponin in striated muscle fibers. However, calmodulin not only gets activated by Ca2+ but also slows the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Muscles become very rigid due to excessive contraction (especially the masseter muscle), the body temperature spikes, andmuscles break down. Death is certain if not treated. Given the principal symptoms of malignant hyperthermia, what is its likely cause?Propose a theoretical mechanism for a treatment that would dampen the deleterious effects of this disorder.arrow_forward
