Cellular Senescence

Joseph Walker

The Musculoskeletal System (MSK) is the structural underpinning for the body and allows mobility. It includes bone, cartilaginous tissues, skeletal muscle, tendon, ligament, intervertebral disc, and others. Ligaments help to keep bones in place. The movement of bones is aided by skeletal muscles. Tendons connect the muscles to the bones. The articulating joints are made up of these tissues. MSK tissues perform endocrine roles and communicate with other tissues to alter organism homeostasis and general physiological health, in addition to providing physical support.
