Subject: The Muscular System: How to manage a pulled muscle.
Level#1: One important health skills is managing minor illness or injuries on your own. A common injury to muscles is a pulled muscle. A pulled muscle is actually small tears in the muscle. These tears cause pain and swelling.
1. What is an example of an important health skill?
2. What is a common injury to muscles?
3. What is a pulled muscle and what does it cause?
Level#2: One important health skills is managing minor illness or injuries on your own. A common injury to muscles is a pulled muscle. A pulled muscle is actually small tears in the muscle. These tears cause pain and swelling. The amount of pain depends on the amount the muscle has torn. Some pulled muscles must be treated by a doctor. If you have a pulled muscle that causes severe pain and you cannot move the muscle at all, see a doctor immediately.

These tears cause pain and swelling. The amount of pain depends on the amount the muscle has torn. Some pulled muscles must be treated by a doctor. If you have a pulled muscle that causes severe pain and you cannot move the muscle at all, see a doctor immediately. Most pulled muscles can be treated at home. There are a few steps you can follow to manage a pulled muscle on your own. First, you must take steps to limit swelling by applying ice to the muscle for 15-20 minutes. Leave the ice off for 20 minutes before applying again. You also need to protect the injured muscle by resting it. Wrapping an elastic bandage over the area will also help reduce the swelling. Elevating the injured muscle above the level of the heart will also help to reduce the swelling.
1. Explain what a pulled muscle is, what the tears in the muscle cause, and what will determine how painful the injured muscle will be.
2. Explain the situation that would require a person to see a doctor for a pulled muscle.

Subject: The Muscular System: Problems with Muscles.
Level#1: Suppose you lost control of your muscles little by little. This is what happens to people with muscular dystrophy, also called MD. MD is a disease that causes the muscles to waste away over time. it is a rare disease. Most children that have MD end up in wheelchairs or on crutches. At this time, doctors do not know what causes MD, but they are working on treatments for it.

MD is a disease that causes the muscles to waste away over time. it is a rare disease. Most children that have MD end up in wheelchairs or on crutches. At this time, doctors do not know what causes MD, but they are working on treatments for it. The most common muscle problem is sore muscles. The soreness is caused by muscles not getting enough oxygen during exercise. Also, muscles have to get rid of wastes when exercising. By exercising regularly, your body learns to pump enough oxygen to your muscles. In time, the soreness disappears. Stretching after exercising, or "cooling down," will help lessen the pain of sore muscles.

The muscle tissues are stretched and sometimes torn. To treat a strained muscle, get plenty of rest. Apply ice first. After 48 hours. put warm, wet towels on the muscles every chance you get.

Subject: The Muscular System: Review
Level#1: Your bones cannot move on their own. They move because they are attached to muscles. Tendons are a type of tissue that connects muscles to bones or other muscles. There are three kinds of muscle tissue in your body. skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle moves your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones. When a muscle moves, it contracts. or shortens. When a muscles relaxes, it lengthens. Muscles can only pull. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs.
1. Why can bones move?
2. How many kinds of muscle tissue are there and what are there names?
3. What happens to a muscle when it moves and what happens when it relaxes?

When a muscles relaxes, it lengthens. Muscles can only pull. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs. Most voluntary muscles work in teams of two to move bones. The biceps and triceps work together when you move your arm. Muscles and tendons can be injured when you play sports. An injured tendon can take months, and sometimes even years to heal. You can avoid this trouble by doing a lot of stretching before and after exercising. Stretching keeps both muscles and tendons flexible.
