MUSCULAR SYSTEM
DISEASE AND DISORDER
1.05 Understand the functions and
disorders of the muscular system

Bell Work Day 2: Muscle Math!!!
• Round answers to nearest whole number.
• 1. What percentage of muscle weight would you have if 60
pounds out of 140 pounds is muscle weight?
• 2. If you know out of 140 lbs., 60 lbs. is muscle weight, what
is the muscle weight of a 200 lb. male?
• 3. What would the muscle weight be on an 80 lb. female?
• 4. If muscle weight is 90 lbs., how much does the person
weigh?
• 5. If muscle weight is 45 lbs., how much does the person
weigh?

Alternate Muscle Math!!!
• What is the muscle weight of a person
who weighs 140 lbs.?
• What is the muscle weight of someone
who is 230 lbs.?
• If a person’s muscle weight is 55 lbs., how
much is his/her total body weight?
• If a person’s muscle weight is 25 lbs., how
much is his/her total body weight?

Standards
• 14) Classify the three categories of muscle
fibers, differentiating between cells and tissue.
Draw evidence from informational texts to
explain the locations, behavioral properties, and
functional roles unique to each category. Draw
on knowledge of biological processes, such as
the body’s conversion of ATP into energy, to
illustrate phenomena such as muscle fatigue.

Objectives
• Explore various diseases and disorders
associated with the muscular system’s
failure to develop or function properly
through a group research project.

Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by
widespread musculoskeletal pain
accompanied by fatigue, sleep, and
depression.
1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system6
In general, treatments
for fibromyalgia include
both medication and
self-care. The emphasis
is on minimizing
symptoms and
improving general
health. No one
treatment works for all
symptoms.
Most common in
women
Hernia
Occurs when an organ
protrudes through a
weak muscle.

Common sites for hernias
8
Constipation
Excess stress
on muscles/
peritoneum
Pregnancy
Some causes of hernias

9
Incarcerated hernia (strangulated)
If you aren't able to push the hernia in, the loop of intestine can be trapped
(incarcerated) in the abdominal wall. An incarcerated hernia can lead to a strangulated
hernia, which cuts off the blood supply to your intestine. Surgery is needed to repair
the hernia and restore blood supply to the bowel. A strangulated hernia can be life-
threatening if it isn't treated.
Signs and symptoms of strangulated hernia include:
Nausea, vomiting or both
Fever
Rapid heart rate
Sudden pain that quickly intensifies
A hernia bulge that turns red, purple or dark

disorders of the muscular system
10
Muscle Spasms or Cramps
(Involuntary hypertonicity)
Sustained contraction of the muscle.
Long periods of exercise or physical labor, particularly in
hot weather, may lead to muscle cramps (overuse). Can
be caused by dehydration or poor circulation. Some
medications and certain medical conditions also may
cause muscle cramps.

Muscular Dystrophy
• The muscular dystrophies
(MD) are a group of more than
30 genetic diseases
characterized by progressive
weakness and degeneration of
the skeletal muscles that
control movement.
• Muscle cells deteriorate.

There is NO cure.
Only the symptoms are treated.
Lifespan is shortened.
Myasthenia Gravis(autoimmune disorder)
• Myasthenia gravis (my-us-THEE-nee-uh GRAY-vis) is
characterized by weakness and rapid fatigue of any of
the muscles under your voluntary control.
• Myasthenia gravis is caused by a breakdown in the
normal communication between nerves and muscles.
• There is no cure for myasthenia gravis, but treatment
can help relieve signs and symptoms.

Occurs more often in women than in men
Strain• Muscle strain or muscle pull or even
a muscle tear implies damage to a muscle or its
attaching tendons.• Rest the strained muscle and apply ice for the first few days after the injury. Anti-
inflammatory medicines also help reduce pain and swelling. As the pain decreases, you can
use heat on the muscle. Stretching and light exercises to bring blood to the injured area can
also be useful. In general, stretching and warm compresses are helpful before exercises.
Cooling down and icing the area after exercise can help.

Think “T”
for tear
Tetanus (lockjaw)
• Serious bacterial disease that affects your
nervous system, leading to painful muscle
contractions, particularly of your jaw and neck
muscles. Tetanus can interfere with your
ability to breathe and, ultimately, threaten
your life.

Enters the body through a puncture wound
The disease can be prevented by receiving
a vaccine called tetanus antitoxoid.
Tetanus
Thanks to the tetanus vaccine, cases of
tetanus are rare in the United States
There is NO CURE!
Group Activity
