What is homeostasis?Homeostasis is the process which the body is able to maintain a
state of stable balance .If we didn’t have homeostasis in our bodies, we would not be able to survive! Homeostasis is the little things that change every second to counter act any problem. Like your cold so your body shivers to warm you back up. Your to hot you sweat to cool yourself back down. These are some of many things your body does all the time to keep you going. Without homeostasis your body might not be able to adapt to these changes. Which could end horribly for you. R.I.P. |

Homeostasis in the Muscular System?When it is cold, you shiver. This is an example of the muscular system completing homeostasis. By your muscles having the quick contractions and relaxing this will help to maintain a stable body temperature. This movement creates heat and energy allowing your body not to shut down do to extreme amounts of cold. The heart the main organ in your muscular system can help you maintain homeostasis by increasing your heart rate to keep blood flowing to flush out all the un-needed things and bring in the needed nutrients to keep your body working.

Diseases of Muscular Systems
Myopathy - A muscular disease in which the muscle fibers do not function for any one of many reasons, resulting in muscular weakness
Fibromyalgia - Fibromyalgia is a syndrome rather than a disease, in which a person has long-term, body-wide pain and tenderness in the joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - A disorder that causes extreme fatigue. This fatigue is not the kind of tired feeling that goes away after you rest.
Polymyositis - Polymyositis means 'many muscle inflammation'. A rheumatic disease that causes weakness and inflammation of muscles.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) - A classic motor neuron disease. Motor neuron diseases are progressive chronic diseases of the nerves that come from the spinal cord responsible for supplying electrical stimulation to the muscles. This stimulation is necessary for the movement of body parts.
Ways to keep your muscular system healthy
Your muscular system needs regular work to be done to remain healthy and strong. Eating healthful food helps ensure that your muscles obtain the nutrients and energy-producing fuels to function properly and avoid tissue breakdown. Regular physical activity builds and maintains your muscle mass and strength, and reduces the likelihood of potentially debilitating injuries. A nutritious, well-balanced diet is important for your muscular system health. Carbohydrates from fruit, vegetables and whole-grain foods provide energy to fuel your muscles. Dietary protein supplies the building blocks to maintain your muscle mass and serves as a backup fuel for energy production. Healthful protein sources include low-fat milk and dairy products, lean meats and poultry, eggs, fish, seafood, soy, nuts and dry beans. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables furnishes the vitamins and minerals necessary for healthy muscle maintenance and function.Drinking plenty of water, especially before and during strenuous physical activity, keeps your muscles functioning normally and helps prevent cramps. It is easy to become dehydrated when you exercise or play sports because you lose large amounts of fluid by perspiring. Dehydration can sap your muscle strength and endurance, wreaking havoc on your athletic performance.Performing warm-up exercises before strenuous physical activity can reduce the likelihood of muscle injury. Warm-up exercises ease your muscles into a physically active state by increasing blood flow and body temperature, potentially making your muscles and tendons more supple. Walking, low-intensity jogging and nonstrenous calisthenics are some of the many ways you can warm up. It is also important to stretch your muscles gently before strenuous exercise to reduce the possibility of muscle and tendon strains and improve your flexibility. Give yourself five to 10 minutes to warm up and stretch before a workout, game or activity.Maintaining your muscle strength requires regular exercise that involves using your muscles against some form of resistance. Strength training can employ free weights, resistance bands, weight machines or exercises that use your body weight to create resistance. Strength training is especially important as you mature because this type of conditioning helps counter the loss of muscle mass that occurs with aging. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends strength training that involves all of your muscle groups at least two days per week. Have a day or more of rest between strength training workouts, especially if you are a beginner. The exercises should cause muscle tiredness but not pain when performing strength training.
