Chapter 9: Muscular System

Lecture #1

What is Moebius syndrome?

• Absence of the sixth and seventh cranial nerves which carry impulses from the brain to the muscles of the face

• Symptoms?

What treatment did Chelsey Thomas receive?

• Underwent two ‘smile’ surgeries

• At 7yo, transplant of nerve and muscle tissue from legs to either side of her mouth

3 Types of Muscle Tissue

• Skeletal Muscle Tissue

• Cardiac Muscle Tissue

• Smooth Muscle Tissue

Skeletal Muscle Tissue

• Tissues you’ll find in skeletal muscle

C.T. Functions

• E• P• E

• Functions: allows parts to move somewhat independently

• Also, blood vessels and nerves pass through these layers

Compartmentment Syndrome

• Green box on p. 286• What is it?

• What is the treatment?

Fascia layers (c.t. layers)

• Fascia is interconnected throughout body to• Deep fascia: surrounds muscle• Subcutaneous fascia: just beneath the skin• Subserous fascia: c.t. layer of serous

memb over organs and in body cavities
