Understanding Muscle Atrophy: Causes, Consequences, and Prevention Strategies

This lesson explores the phenomenon of muscle atrophy, which is the gradual weakening and loss of muscle mass due to disuse or disease. Students engage in discussions about the implications of paralysis on muscle function, specifically considering which muscles would atrophy if someone became paralyzed from the waist down. The day includes a warm-up, yoga session, a movie assignment, and optional muscle testing. A quick quiz will reinforce learning, followed by a reflection on service activities to honor Dr. King.
