Part One- About the muscular system:

Muscular System Facts-

Although there are over 600 muscles in your body, there are only three types of muscles- skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. The only action a muscle can perform is to contract, but the contractions help us perform millions of different things -- from pumping our blood to lifting up something heavy. The muscle receives the information from a nerve cell.

Skeletal Muscles- Skeletal muscle is the only type of voluntary muscle tissue in the human body—it is controlled consciously. Every physical action that a person consciously performs (ex. speaking, walking, or writing) requires skeletal muscle. Theses muscles are attached

Solution: Engineers designed special excursive machines that work even when there is no gravity. These machines help the astronauts maintain strength even in outer space.

Example Three: Bionic Limbs Helping Athletes Recover

Example Four: Curing muscle injury and strains through ultrasonic waves

Problem: When people get injured it takes a while to recover. It is common for people to strain their muscles by overworking them. This can happen from playing sports.

Solution:

Engineers designed an ultrasound device. This device focuses sound waves on the injured muscles which provides deep muscle stimulation. This increases the blood flow to that area, which causes the healing process to speed up. This makes the muscle heal much faster than if it were just left alone. This is important because it enables people to get back to their daily activities or sports
