Smooth muscles are known as involuntary muscles. They are controlled by involuntary responses in the brain and body. Smooth muscles are long, thin-shaped cells attached to bones in the body. Examples of smooth muscles are found in the digestive system, where the esophagus contracts to move food. Other examples are the uterus, the bladder, and the muscle behind the eyes that keeps your eyes focused.
Cardiac Muscles: Another name for Cardiac muscle is myocardium. This muscle is also involuntary. They are thickened because they must contract frequently to move blood in and out of the heart. There are quadrangular shaped, and the muscles have striations resembling stripes or lines running through them.
Skeletal muscles are the voluntary muscles that allow you to control the movements of your body. Skeletal muscles also are striated and comprise the musculoskeletal system. These muscles are attached to your bones via tendons, which are cords of tissue. In order to move, your skeletal muscles, tendons and bones all must work together. Major skeletal muscles in the body include the deltoids, pectorals, abdominals, quadriceps, gluteal muscles, the tongue, neck or face. Skeletal muscles often work in pairs, such as the biceps, which bend the arms, which work with the triceps, which straighten the arms.

Long bones are some of the longest bones in the body, such as the Femur, Humerus and Tibia but are also some of the smallest including the Metacarpals, Metatarsals and Phalanges. The classification of a long bone includes having a body which is longer than it is wide, with growth plates (epiphysis) at either end, having a hard outer surface of compact bone and a spongy inner known as cancellous bone containing bone marrow. Both ends of the bone are covered in hyaline cartilage to help protect the bone and aid shock absorption.
Short bones are defined as being approximately as wide as they are long and have a primary function of providing support and stability with little movement. Examples of short bones are the Carpals and Tarsals - the wrist and foot bones. They consist of only a thin layer of compact, hard bone with cancellous bone on the inside along with relatively large amounts of bone marrow.
Flat bones are as they sound, strong, flat plates of bone with the main function of providing protection to the bodies’ vital organs and being a base for muscular attachment. The classic example of a flat bone is the Scapula (shoulder blade). The Sternum (breast bone), Cranium (skull), os coxae (hip bone) Pelvis and Ribs are also classified as flat bones. Anterior and posterior surfaces are formed of compact bone to provide strength for protection with the centre consisting of cancellous (spongy) bone and varying amounts of bone marrow. In adults, the highest number of red blood cells are formed in flat bones.
Irregular Bones: These are bones in the body which do not fall into any other category, due to their non-uniform shape. Good examples of these are the Vertebrae, Sacrum and Mandible (lower jaw). They primarily consist of cancellous bone, with a thin outer layer of compact bone.
Sesamoid bones are usually short or irregular bones, imbedded in a tendon. The most obvious example of this is the Patella (knee cap) which sits within the Patella or Quadriceps tendon. Other sesamoid bones are the Pisiform (smallest of the Carpals) and the two small bones at the base of the 1st Metatarsal. Sesamoid bones are usually present in a tendon where it passes over a joint which serves to protect the tendon.

A ligament is a band of tissue, usually white, that serves to connect bones.
A tendon is a cord or band of dense, tough, fibrous tissue, serving to connect muscle to a bone.
Cartilage is a firm, elastic, flexible connective tissue.

The following video shows the muscles and bones used during walking:
Gout – When someone has gout, the body can not break down the uric acid. The uric acid begins to settle in the joints and it is very painful and becomes inflamed. A common place this occurs is in the big toe.
Osteoarthritis: This disease is also known as arthritis. When someone has arthritis, the cartilage in the joints begins to wear away and the bones rub together. Eventually, this disease leads to replace. It is common among athletes and elderly people.
Rhabdomyolysis: The muscles begin to eat themselves. This occurs when athletes work too hard and wear away muscles. Symptoms for this disease are fatigue and pain. When the body breaks down muscles the protein goes to the kidneys and when the kidneys cannot filter the protein, the kidneys shut down.
Osteoporosis: Those prone to Osteoporosis are while females who are elders. When woman reach an old age the hormones in the body stop giving the bones calcium. Ways to prevent this disease is by weight baring activities and exposure to sunlight.
Fibromyalgia: This is a form a sensory overload that causes pain in the muscles. This is a total sensory overload. A symptom for this disease is redness in the cheeks and they are more prone to become sick.
3 types of fracture- One type of fracture is a compound fracture which is when the bone is visibly outside of the body. Another type of fracture is greenstick fracture which is an incomplete fracture common in children. A closed fracture is when the bone is broken, but inside your body.
Brittle Bones- Brittle bones are when the bones break really easily because of a lack of collagen. This is a rare genetic disease which is caused by the autosomal dominant genes. Symptoms include brittle teeth, short and tend to bruise easily.
Muscular Dystrophy- Muscular Dystrophy is the degeneration of the skeletal muscles. There is no cure for MD, but treatment includes respiratory therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy. Symptoms include muscle spasm.
Tendinitis: Tendinitis is the inflammation of the tendons. Tendonitis can be caused by playing golf, tennis and gardening. The most common places for tendonitis are in the shoulder, elbow and knee.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: This disease is when the immune system starts to attack the joints. Symptoms for RA include pain, fatigue, and swollen joints. There is no cure for RA, but there are medications that can help with the symptoms.
