Human Physiology

Brain

The human brain is a complex internal organ responsible for controlling an individual’s memory, emotions, perceptions, thoughts, sense of touch (proprioception), motor skills and cognition, vision, hunger, breathing and other processes that regulate our body. On average, the human brain weighs about 3 pounds, where 60% of it contains fat, and the rest is a […]

Skeletal System

Introduction The human skeletal system serves as the body’s central framework. It includes the body’s bones and connective tissues, including ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Experts also call it the musculoskeletal system. This system is very important for the body and makes up about 20% of the body weight of an average human. The total number

Types of Movement- Ciliary, Flagellar, Muscular

Introduction Muscular movements are movements caused by the contraction of muscles. Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles are the three common types of muscle. Skeletal muscle is a type of connective tissue that is attached to bones and allows them to move Smooth muscle can be found in various internal organs, such as the digestive tract,

Voluntary and Involuntary Muscles

Muscles are a fibrous tissue bundle in our bodies that can contract and expand, allowing us to move in different parts of the body. The muscular system is responsible for allowing the body to move, maintaining posture, and circulating blood cells throughout the body. Muscles are made up of skeletal muscles, tissue, tendons, and nerves,

Types of Movement Definition

Synovial joints enable the body to move in a wide range of directions. Each movement at a synovial joint is caused by the contraction or relaxation of muscles attached to the bones on either side of the articulation. The structural type of a synovial joint determines the type of movement that can be produced. While

Types of Movement

Introduction A moving entity moves from point A to point B. The movement has a specified direction and circles around a fixed axis or fulcrum. Anatomical motions are no exception. They often contain bones or body components rotating around fixed joints with the main anatomical axes or planes parallel to them (sagittal, coronal, frontal and

Types of movement

In medical science, the types of movement performed by limbs and at joints are described in anatomical terms. These terms are determined according to the direction in which the movement is taking place in relation to the direction to the body part. Moreover, the types of movement are also classified by the anatomical planes in

Treatment for Tetany

There are various medical disorders that you would most certainly be unable to recognize if they occurred to you. Getting a cold is evident, as is stomach trouble after a bad meal. Tetany, on the other hand, can throw patients who aren’t feeling well — and occasionally their doctors — for a loop. Tetany is

The Muscular System Disorder

Muscle Disorders are diseases and disorders that affect the human muscle system, with skeletal muscle weakening as the primary symptom. Muscular dystrophy, neuromuscular diseases, and neuromuscular disorders are all included under the umbrella term ‘Muscle Disorders.’ These are a diverse set of illnesses that affect either the muscles, such as those in the arms and

Tetany Causes

Tetany, also known as tetanic seizure, is a medical condition characterised by involuntary muscle contractions that can be caused by disorders that increase the action potential frequency of muscle cells or the nerves that innervate them. Tetanus-induced muscle cramps are not classified as tetany; rather, they are caused by a lack of inhibition of the
