= Hi my name is Bailey Bartley and this is my Muscle and B ﻿ one wiki page. =  What do you think is stronger concrete or a human bone? If you guesed a human bone you are right.

If you drink at least a cup of milk a day it keeps your bones strong.



When you break a bone it fuses back together even stronger than before!



The outside layer of bone is tough and compact. Inside is known as spongy bone,wich is a mix of bone and air. This gives bone a low density, making it light but also very strong.



Stretching and strengthening are useful in treatment and prevention of muscle strain injuries. Muscles that are fatigued are more likely to be injured. Muscles that are stronger and more flexible are less likely to be injured. Athletes should use caution, especially as they become fatigued,as the muscle becomes more susceptible to strain injuries.

When you tear a muscle you should gently stretch.

After injuring the muscle, it is important to regain strength before returning to athletic activities. Both the injury itself and the rest period following the injury can reduce the strength of the muscle. Stronger muscles are less likely to sustain a re-injury.



More than 300 individual muscles enable your limbs to work and give your body shape and definition. If you spend time properly stretching and strengthening them,you're rewarded with strength, power and flexibility. If your muscles are improperly trained or injured, you may end up with significant problems. Many of us have seen the serious consequences of an abrupt muscle tear: A sprinter rounding the turn suddenly drops, clutching a torn hamstring.

A muscle tear may be partial or complete and caused either by a direct blow or by overexertion.There are three degrees of muscle ruptures. A first-degree strain involves less than 5 percent of the muscle.. You may notice only mild pain and not lose much strength or range of motion. We sometimes refer to these mild tears as pulled muscles.

A second-degree tear is a greater rupture that stops short of a complete tear. Any contraction of the torn muscle will cause pain.With either a first- or second-degree tear, you may feel defect of the muscle - a bump or an indentation - at the site of the most pain. You should be able to partially contract the muscle, but you may not be able to walk or stand without pain or a limp.

A third-degree rupture is a complete tear across the width of the muscle. You will be unable to contract the muscle. This is what happens when someone suddenly drops while sprinting. The torn end of the muscle may ball up and form a large lump under the skin, and a great deal of internal bleeding occurs. Severely torn muscles may require surgery to heal properly. This is the gatsrocnemius. It is also torn.

The calf muscles consist of the gastrocnemius which is the big muscle at the back of the lower leg and the soleus muscle which is a smaller muscle lower down in the leg and under the Gastrocnemius.

Did you know skeletal muscles (the muscles connected to your bones) are made up of long, thin fibers. There may be as many as 2,000 fibers inside a large muscle.

Skeletal muscle.

Did you know you have 640 muscles in your body. The biggest muscles are in your thigh and bottom. The smallest muscles are deep inside of your ears.

The largest joint is your knee joint.



More than half your bones are found in your hands and feet.



A newborn baby has more than 300 bones, but some join together as he or she gets older.

Did you know that about 50,000 pieces of dead skin fall from your body every minute!!!!!!!!

This month it is my birthday on March 27 I will post one interesting fact about muscles or bones up until the day of my birthday.

Did you know that the average body builder has only 7-12 percent of body fat on their whole body!



The biggsest muscle in your body is the gluteus maximus other wise known as the buttock.



This week I will be talking about muscle spasms.
