	Musculoskeletal system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The musculoskeletal system (MSK) is an organ system that gives animals the ability to physically move, by using the muscles and skeletal system.
		The human musculoskeletal system consist of the human skeleton, made by bones attached to other bones with joints, and skeletal muscle attached to the skeleton by tendons.
		In most animals with solid skeletons, yellow bone marrow is used to store energy for the muscles and the red marrow produces blood cells and that produces oxygen for the body.

	Mechanics of Function Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Human mobility and the activities of daily living necessitate the coordinated action of the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system.
		It should not be surprising that impairments to the musculoskeletal system are the leading cause of limitations in activity for people of all ages.
		Impairments to the musculoskeletal system occur at the cell and tissue level (e.g., damage to cartilage cells leading to degenerative arthritis), the organ level (e.g., torn ligaments and fractured bones) and at the systems level (e.g., deficits involving multiple body segments, such as the upper or lower limb).

	UNSW Embryology- Musculoskeletal System: Human Bones
		The adult human skeleton has about 206 different bones which are formed from fusion of significantly more bones in the postnatal developing neonate and child (about 275).
		The two major parts of the human skeleton are the axial (80 bones in skull, vertebra, ribs, sternum) and appendicular (126 bones in limbs, shoulders, pelvis) skeletons.
		The process of human skeleton development begins as a cartilagenous or membranous template in the embyro, replacement by ossification through fetal development continuing into the postnatal period where many bone "pieces" fuse into puberty with a burst of growth, into young adult where many bones finally fuse.

	HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING – IEE437/IEE547 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Human musculoskeletal system is a mechanical system that obeys the laws of physics.
		The musculoskeletal system is composed of bones, muscles, and connective tissues, which include ligaments, tendons, fascia, and cartilage.
		The main functions of the musculoskeletal system are to support and protect the body and body parts, to maintain posture and produce body movement, and to generate heat and maintain body temperature.

	Imaging Musculoskeletal Function (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Unfortunately, most kinematic and kinetic properties of the musculoskeletal system cannot be measured directly, without the use of invasive techniques.
		Human studies are typically limited to inferring muscle and bone kinematics and kinetics from externally measured quantities such as EMG (neural excitation), joint torques, and skin marker positions.
		Approach - In order to test the accuracy of Cine PCMR as it relates to the study of dynamic musculoskeletal motion, a motion phantom, consisting of a series of paired plastic gears connected by a plastic rods, was developed to move rigid samples in complex 2-D and 3-D trajectories.

	Welcome to HumanPosture.com - Research on Human Posture
		The bones and muscles in the body – which complement one another, and act in unison – form the musculoskeletal system.
		The human body can be compared to this system by visualizing the struts as bones and the guy ropes as muscles.
		Postural Collapse is a condition where the musculoskeletal system is so badly deformed that it is no longer possible to easily revert to the original balanced state.

		That's because the human and the chimpanzee have adaptations for upright posture.
		A: If you compare the human body to that of a chimpanzee, there are a lot of similarities in the upper body: the arms, the chest, the upper trunk.
		The vertebrae themselves are much bigger in humans relative to body size than in any other primate, which allows us to bear the loads which are coming from the upper body through the lower back all day.

		Despite various models proposed for human movement control, few tackle the intricacies of the human musculoskeletal system itself.
		In human musculoskeleton system, a huge amount of energy can be stored passively in the biomechanics of the muscle system.
		This hypothesis holds that central nervous system computes the equilibrium points (EPs) for a task and movements are achieved by passively attracting the muscular system to those EPs.

	Postural Change and its Impact upon the Human Musculoskeletal System
		Suffice it to say that until the dysfunction is corrected, postural defects will occur and joint compensations throughout the musculoskeletal system will be activated.
		As I explained in my previous series of articles, the various systems of the body are interconnected and interrelated in so many ways that in considering changes in one, the others must also be noted if our evaluations and subsequent treatments are to be correct.
		To be correct, the maintenance of posture depends upon a neuromusculoskeletal system held in correct relation, controlled by muscles acting under the direct influence of the nervous system.

	The Musculoskeletal System
		The human musculoskeletal system provides locomotion, support and protection to the human body.
		This system consists of osteology (the study of bones), arthrology (the study of joints), and myology (the study of muscles).
		If we take a look at the human skeleton, we see that the 200 or more bones, however different in size and shape they may be, are all just links in one long chain.
