<p>CSV import</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Musculoskeletal system&#039;&#039;&#039; refers to the complex system in the body that includes the [[bones]], [[joints]], [[ligaments]], [[tendons]], [[muscles]], and [[nerves]]. It is responsible for supporting the body, allowing movement, and protecting vital organs. <br /> <br /> ==Structure==<br /> The musculoskeletal system is made up of two main components: the [[skeletal system]] and the [[muscular system]]. The skeletal system provides the rigid framework of the body, while the muscular system allows for movement by contracting and relaxing muscles.<br /> <br /> ===Skeletal System===<br /> The [[skeletal system]] is composed of 206 bones in the adult human body. These bones are categorized into two groups: the axial skeleton, which includes the [[skull]], [[vertebral column]], and [[rib cage]]; and the appendicular skeleton, which includes the [[limbs]] and [[pelvis]].<br /> <br /> ===Muscular System===<br /> The [[muscular system]] is composed of over 600 muscles, which are attached to bones by tendons. These muscles can be categorized into three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles. [[Skeletal muscles]] are responsible for voluntary movements, while [[cardiac muscles]] and [[smooth muscles]] control involuntary movements such as the heartbeat and digestion.<br /> <br /> ==Function==<br /> The primary functions of the musculoskeletal system are to provide support, allow movement, and protect internal organs. The skeletal system provides a rigid framework that supports the body and maintains its shape. The muscles provide the force to move the bones. The system also protects the internal organs from injury.<br /> <br /> ==Diseases and Disorders==<br /> There are many diseases and disorders that can affect the musculoskeletal system, including [[arthritis]], [[osteoporosis]], and [[muscular dystrophy]]. These conditions can cause pain, limit movement, and lead to disability.<br /> <br /> ==Treatment and Management==<br /> Treatment for musculoskeletal disorders often involves a combination of medication, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery. Management of these conditions often involves lifestyle changes such as exercise and diet modification.<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[Orthopedics]]<br /> * [[Rheumatology]]<br /> * [[Physical therapy]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Anatomy]]<br /> [[Category:Musculoskeletal system]]<br /> [[Category:Human body]]<br /> <br /> {{anatomy-stub}}</div>
