It is a sunny day and you decide to take your child to the playground. The kids are having fun on the swings or just running around the park. Some of the kids are playing with the birds that are flocking around the bread that they are feeding the birds. Everyone is having lots of fun and then you go home. Everybody is happy including the well fed birds. You are happy, your child did not have an allergy or asthma episode while in the park from the trees and grasses.
That night your child starts coughing and you do not think anything about it. Give them a little cough syrup and they go back to sleep. You think it is just another allergic attack or their asthma is acting up again. The next day he or she is worse, so you decide to make an appointment with the Doctor. You take them to the Doctor and they decide to run some tests to see what is going on. One Doctor says it is an allergy attack. Another says it is their Asthma acting up. This scenario goes on for weeks with other Physicians and no one can diagnose your child. They give them antibiotics for ten days and still it does not go away.

The skeletal bones make up more than 200 short, long, irregular, and flat structures. Inside the bones is calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and RBCs, or marrow, which produces and generate red blood cells. The bones work along side the muscles. The muscles and bones afford support, defense for the internal organs, and locomotion.
The skeletal muscles are our source of mobility, which supports the posture. The muscles work alongside the posture by shortens and tighten it. The bones attach to the muscles via tendons. The muscle then starts to contract with stimulus of muscle fibers via a motor nerve cell, or neuron. The neurons consist of axon, cell bodies, and dendrites, which transport to the nerve impulses and are the essential makeup of our functional components within the larger system of nerves. (Central Nervous System-CNS) CNS is a network or system of nerve cells, fibers, etc, that conveys and transmits sensations to the brain, which carries on to the “motor impulses” and onto the organs and muscles.
