     Muscles



                         Everyone knows there are 206 bones present in our human body but how many members know How many muscles are present in our Human body? 

                        

                        There are About 600 Muscles present in the Human body.

 

What are Muscles?

                         

 The specialized tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement.



There are three types of bones they are;


  • Skeletal muscles.

  • Smooth muscles

  • Cardiac muscles


SKELETAL MUSCLES


                               Skeletal muscle, also called voluntary muscle.


 Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other.


Examples : your biceps on the tops of your arms, triceps on the bottoms of your arms, calves on the back of your lower legs, and pectoral muscles in your chest.


SMOOTH MUSCLES


                                          Smooth muscle can be described as an involuntary, non-striated muscle

                                 Smooth muscle is a type of non-striated muscle that is found in the walls of hollow organs and blood vessels.


Examples:  Smooth muscle can be found throughout the body but is most common around the digestive tract, in the walls of blood vessels, arteries, and around other organs such as the eyes.


CARDIAC MUSCLES

                                                      


                                            Cardiac muscle (or myocardium) makes up the thick middle layer of the heart.


MUSCLES DIS-ORDER



                                      Muscle disorders may cause weakness, pain, loss of movement and even paralysis. The range of problems that affect muscles are collectively known as myopathy. 


Common muscle problems include:


  • Injury or overuse, including­ sprains or strains, cramps, tendonitis and bruising

  • Genetic problems, such as muscular dystrophy

  • Inflammation, such as myositis

  • Diseases of nerves that affect muscles, such as multiple sclerosis

  • Conditions that cause muscle weakness, such as metabolic, endocrine or toxic disorders; for example, thyroid, and adrenal diseases, alcoholism, pesticide poisoning, medications (steroids, statins) and myasthenia gravis

  • Cancers, such as soft tissue sarcoma.

Here we need to know about hypernatremia. Hypernatremia  occurs due to net water loss or excess sodium intake.  The most serious symptoms of hypernatremia results from Brain dysfunction. Severe hypernatremia can lead to confusion, muscle   twitching, seizures, coma & dead.    INTAKE OF SODIUM LEVEL :                                     Now-a-days we are most interesting to be foodie whi...

                               Nutrition                                                    Nutrition is the study of how food and nutrients affect the human body. It is the science that deals with the process of providing or obtaining the necessary nutrients from food for the maintenance of growth, reproduction, health, and disease prevention. Nutrition encompasses a wide range of topics, including the chemical and biological properties of nutrients, the ways in which they are absorbed and utilized by the body, and the impact of diet and lifestyle on health. Nutrition also involves the study of how different types of food and nutrients interact with each other and with other environmental factors, such as physical activity, stress, and environmental toxins. The goal of nutrition ...
