Locomotion and Movement

IMPORTANT

Biology Solutions from Chapter -1 - Locomotion and Movement

This chapter describes the skeletal system and different muscles involved in the movement of body. It discusses the different types of bones that regulate the movement of hands and legs.

This topic details the types of movement in humans including amoeboid, ciliary and muscular movements. We will study each type of movement in detail with illustrations.

Biology>Human Physiology>Locomotion and Movement>Muscular System of Humans

This topic deals with the muscular system of humans including skeletal muscles, visceral muscles and cardiac muscles. We will also study the mechanism of actin and myosin with diagrammatic representations.

Biology>Human Physiology>Locomotion and Movement>Skeletal System of Humans

This topic describes the skeletal system. In human beings, the human skeletal system is made up of 206 bones and a few cartilages. It is grouped into two principal divisions—the axial and the appendicular skeleton.

Biology>Human Physiology>Locomotion and Movement>Joints

This topic describes the different types of joints present in the human body. Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages. Joints have been classified into three major forms—fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial.

Biology>Human Physiology>Locomotion and Movement>Disorders of Human Skeletal and Muscular Systems

This topic describes the disorders related to muscular and skeletal system. The causes of some disorders such as myasthenia gravis, arthritis, gout, muscular dystrophy, osteoporosis and tetany are discussed here.
