muscle functions
Muscles have 3 functions: one is to provide structure, another is to provide heat, and the last is movement for the body.
skeletal muscle tissue
Skeletal muscle tissues are the muscles that are connected to the bones, such as the biceps and triceps. They are voluntary muscles, meaning that you can control them.
cardiac muscle tissue
Cardiac muscle tissue is found on the heart. It is involuntary, meaning that it flexes and contracts without having to think about it.
visceral muscle tissue
Visceral (or smooth) muscle tissue is found around the inner organs. They are involuntary muscles, meaning that it flexes and contracts without having to think about it.
labeled muscles
hypertrophy
Hypertrophy is the abnormal growth and increase of the size of muscle cells caused by strength training, high-intensity anaerobic exercises, and use of anabolic steroids.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is the inflammation of the muscle tissues and the fibrous connective tissues. It is caused by trauma, family history, infections, and autoimmune disease.
atrophy
Atrophy is the wasting or loss of muscle tissue resulting from disease or lack of use.
muscular dystrophy
Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetically transmitted disease that progressively deteriote muscle tissue. It is caused when one gene in charge of protecting muscle fibers from damages is defective.
tendonitis
Tendonitis is a painful inflammation of a tendon. It is often caused by repetitive, minor impacts on the infected area or from a more sudden, serious injury.
health care professionals for the muscle disorders
Physical therapists are professionals who work to restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilites. They can work with patients who have muscular dystrophy and help them with their mobility. They can also help those recovering from tendonitis and help them to relieve pain and regain mobility.
Professionals who work in the ER would also need to know the muscle groups. They would need to know so that they could call in a specialist if necessary and to see which muscle needs to be treated and how to treat it correctly.
General physicians need to know the muscle groups so they can tell when there is a problem or when there might be a disorder happening. This way he can call in for specialists or treat the muscle with knowledge and care.
