Guided Response:  Review your classmates’ posts and respond to two peers to further discuss the muscular and skeletal systems. At least one of your responses should be to a peer who was assigned the body system you did not discuss in your original post. Choose a dysfunction of this system and identify contributing factors for this disease. Explain the etiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment for this disease. Examine how this disease can have an effect on the other physiological systems of the body.  Finally, discuss how this disease and dysfunction of the body system may have an impact on the environment or how the disease is impacted by the environment.   Each peer response should be at least 100 words in length and should be supported by one scholarly source. Musculoskeletal System
