APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your musculoskeletal system includes bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissues. They work together to support your body’s weight and help you move. Injuries, disease and aging can cause pain, stiffness and other problems with movement and function.

Detailed explanation-2: -A whole skeletal muscle is considered an organ of the muscular system. Each organ or muscle consists of skeletal muscle tissue, connective tissue, nerve tissue, and blood or vascular tissue. Skeletal muscles vary considerably in size, shape, and arrangement of fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are over 700 organs in the muscular system. This is because the muscular system includes all the skeletal muscles of the body, the cardiac muscle, and the smooth muscles supporting the organs. There are more than 700 skeletal muscles alone with much fewer cardiac and smooth muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Skeletal muscle – the specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement. Smooth muscle – located in various internal structures including the digestive tract, uterus and blood vessels such as arteries. Cardiac muscle – the muscle specific to the heart.
