8A Musculoskeletal Disorder Syeda Ejaz
The human skeleton-
The human musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability and
movement for the human body
Axial skeleton-
The axial skeleton of a human consists of the Cranium, Vertebral column, and rib cage. It
forms the central axis of the body and its function is to provide support and protection for the
brain, spinal cord, and the organs in the ventral body cavity. It also provides a surface for the
muscles that move the head, neck and torso. Furthermore, it also performs respiratory
movements and stabilizes parts of the appendicular skeleton.
Appendicular skeleton:
The appendicular skeleton is composed of
limbs and limb girdles. It includes shoulder
girdle (pectoral girdle), arm, hand, pelvic girdle, leg and foot. The shoulder girdle attaches the
upper limbs to the body and the pelvic girdle that attaches the lower limbs to the body.
There are a total of 126 bones in the appendicular skeleton of an adult. The lower part of the
skeleton is specialised for stability during walking and running.
On the other hand, the upper part of the appendicular skeleton is focused more on motion
and mobility. They allow you to lift and carry objects.
