, TASK A
An evaluation of one named musculoskeletal disorder that demonstrates how this
condition affects the normal movement and functioning of the musculoskeletal system
and the corrective treatments associated with it. In order to be able to do this fully, you
will need to include evidence of all the following aspects of the musculoskeletal system.
Musculoskeletal disorder chosen: Sprains and Strains
A detailed, in-depth, explanation using scientific knowledge of the anatomy and
physiology of affected bones, joints and muscle groups.
An illustrated explanation of the structures and functions of the human musculoskeletal
system to include the key features of the functions of the musculoskeletal systems
including its role in: support, leverage and movement, protection of body organs,
production of blood cells, storage of minerals. Use any photographs taken during
teaching and learning to illustrate your leaflet/poster and report.
The use of scientific language and technical terminology to outline the normal anatomy
and physiology of six major joints and fully explains the importance of their structure
and role in enabling normal movement of the joints. You must include bones, muscle
groups and the associated ligaments and tendons involved in bringing about normal
movement.
There are different types of bone. Each type is able to perform a certain function.
Long bones form the limbs. These are cylinders of hard bone with soft spongy marrow
inside. They are wider at each end than they are at the middle. This gives extra solidity at the
joint where the bone articulates with (one moves in or on the other) another bone. Long bones
are hard, dense bones that provide strength, structure and mobility. Most of the bones in the
Human Skeleton are long bones – Femur is an example of a long bone in a Human Skeleton,
it is also the biggest bone and the strongest.
Short bones have the same structure as long bones but are flattened. This gives a greater
variety of movement with no loss of strength. Wrist and Ankle are examples of short bones in
the Human Skeleton. Short bones are designated as bones that are long as they are wide.
Their first primary function is to provide support and stability with little or no movement at
all.
Flat bones are made of a sandwich of hard bone with a spongy layer between. Their first
function is protection of vital organs such as the brain when is protected by the cranium, or
the heart and lung when they are protected by the sternum and rib cage, they also provide
broad surfaces for muscular attachment.
Irregular bones have various forms – The box-shaped vertebrae that form the backbone.
Vertebrae are strong, contain marrow and protect the spinal cord. The facial bones are
irregular and contain air-filled cavities, making them light. The hip bones are also irregular.
This type of bone is characterized by, like the name suggests, irregular shapes.
