	Category:Musculoskeletal system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The musculoskeletal system is an organ system that gives animals the ability to move to more favorable conditions by using the muscles and skeletal system to engage in locomotion.
		Bones also serve a role as support and to protect internal organs and in many organisms to store fat and minerals and produce blood cells.
		The main article for this category is Musculoskeletal system.

	1.00 Musculoskeletal System-Adult
		The musculoskeletal listings that include pain or other symptoms among their criteria also include criteria for limitations in functioning as a result of the listed impairment, including limitations caused by pain.
		Diagnosis and evaluation of musculoskeletal impairments should be supported, as applicable, by detailed descriptions of the joints, including ranges of motion, condition of the musculature (e.g., weakness, atrophy), sensory or reflex changes, circulatory deficits, and laboratory findings, including findings on x-ray or other appropriate medically acceptable imaging.
		Obesity is a medically determinable impairment that is often associated with disturbance of the musculoskeletal system, and disturbance of this system can be a major cause of disability in individuals with obesity.

	Musculoskeletal system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The musculoskeletal system is an organ system that gives animals the ability to physically move, by using the muscles and skeletal system.
		In many organisms the skeleton is also used to store fat and minerals, and to produce blood cells.
		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.

	101.00-Musculoskeletal-Childhood
		Disorders of the musculoskeletal system may result from hereditary, congenital, or acquired pathologic processes.
		Therefore, a longitudinal clinical record is generally important for the assessment of severity and expected duration of an impairment unless the child is a newborn or the claim can be decided favorably on the basis of the current evidence.
		Consistent with clinical practice, children with musculoskeletal impairments may be examined with and without the use of any orthotic, prosthetic, or assistive devices as explained in this section.

		The musculoskeletal system consists of skeletal muscle, bone, and cartilage and is mainly mesoderm in origin with some neural crest contribution.
		Musculoskeletal and limb abnormalities are one of the largest groups of congenital abnormalities.
		In the nervous system, it is secreted by the notochord, ventralizes the neural tube, inducing the floor plate and motor neurons.

		Musculoskeletal: The parts of the musculoskeletal system that are most frequently imaged with MRI are the knee and shoulder.
		A US image is a useful way of examining the musculoskeletal system of the body to detect problems with muscles, tendons, joints and soft tissue.
		US images are captured in real time, so they can often show movement, function, and anatomy, as well as enable radiologists to diagnose a variety of conditions and assess damage after an injury or illness.

	Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Musculoskeletal
		The parts of the musculoskeletal system that are most frequently imaged with MRI are the spine, knee and shoulder.
		The patient is comfortably positioned on a special table that slides into the MRI system opening where the magnetic field is created.

	PATTS - Muscular System
		Each of more than 600 muscles is served by nerves which link the muscle to the brain and spinal cord.
		The musculoskeletal system consists of the skeletal system -- bones and joints (union of two or more bones) -- and the skeletal muscle system (voluntary or striated muscles).
		The levers are mainly the long bones of the body and the axes are the joints where the bones meet.

		Osteopathy is a system and philosophy of health care that places emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, hence the name - osteo - refers to bone and path refers to disease.
		The original theory behind both approaches presumed that energy flowing through the nervous system is influenced by the supporting structures that encase and protect it - the skull and vertebral column.
		He also views the brain and spinal cord as connected by a hydraulic system encased in three tough membranes which are separated from one another by fluid-filled spaces.

		The skeletal system includes the bones of the skeleton and the cartilages, ligaments, and other connective tissue that stabilize or connect the bones.
		In addition to supporting the weight of the body, bones work together with muscles to maintain body position and to produce controlled, precise movements.
		In addition to producing skeletal movement, muscles also maintain posture and body position, support soft tissues, guard entrances and exits to the digestive and urinary tracts, and maintain body temperature.
