Title: Identify the structures and functions of the muscular system.
Course: Radiologic Technology I (14105-I) > Section: Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology

Identification should include the

- basic unit of muscle tissue
- three types of muscle tissue, their characteristics, and their functions
- physiology and types of muscle contractions
- effects of aging on muscles
- recognition of radiographic characteristics of the most common pathologies and how to compensate technical factors to accommodate.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the dominant muscles seen on an abdomen/kidney, ureter, bladder (KUB) radiograph?
- What muscle group is demonstrated on a cervical spine radiograph? What does the absence of the normal curvature mean for that muscle group?
- Why does a fractured hip result in eversion of the leg?
