!Musculoskeletal System

The skeleton serves three major functions:
*__Shape & support__
The skeleton provides the framework which supports the body and maintains its shape. The pelvis, associated ligaments and muscles provide a floor for the pelvic structures. Without the rib cages, costal cartilages, and intercostal muscles, the lungs would collapse.
*__Movement__
The joints between bones allow movement, some allowing a wider range of movement than others, e.g. the ball and socket joint allows a greater range of movement than the pivot joint at the neck. Movement is powered by ((Musculoskeletal - Skeletal Muscles|skeletal muscles)) and guided by ligaments. Muscles are attached at various sites on bones, usually leading over one or more joints. Muscles, bones, and joints provide the principal mechanics for movement, all coordinated by the central ((Nervous - System Overview|nervous system)).
*__Protection__
The skeleton and it´s muscular and fibrous components protect many vital organs:
**The skull protects the brain, the eyes, and the middle and inner ears.
**The vertebrae protect the spinal cord.
**The rib cage, spine, and sternum protect the human lungs, human heart and major blood vessels.
**The clavicle and scapula protect the shoulder.
**The ilium and spine protect the digestive and urogenital systems and the hip.
**The patella and the ulna protect the knee and the elbow respectively.
**The carpals and tarsals protect the wrist and ankle respectively.

!!META-Organs
We distinguish several organs and organ tissues in the muscloskeletal and locomotor system based on their unique stress-emotion-belief associations and brain relay locations.

*__((Musculoskeletal - Bones|Bones))__ (CM -/+): Self-worth concerning stability and endurance
*__((Musculoskeletal - Periosteum (Visceral Fascia)|Periosteum sensitivity))__ (CC -/+): Unjust contact/separation, indignation
*__((Musculoskeletal - Cartilage|Cartilage))__ (CM -/+): Self-worth concerning connection and friction
*__((Musculoskeletal - Connective Tissue|Ligaments))__ (CM -/+): Self-worth concerning guidance, stability and elasticity
*__((Musculoskeletal - Tendons|Tendons))__ (CM -/+): Self-worth concerning (muscular) performance
*__((Musculoskeletal - Skeletal Muscles|Muscle))__ (CM -/+): Self-worth concerning (muscular) performance
*__((Musculoskeletal - Skeletal Muscles|Muscle Fascia ))__ (CB & MB +/-): Muscular protection, integrity
*__((Nervous - Motoric Innervation|Motoric Innervation))__ (CC -/+): Ability to act/react
*__((Musculoskeletal - Connective Tissue|Fatty Tissue))__ (CM -/+): Self-worth concerning buffering and protection
Fatty tissue, cartilage, tendons & ligaments consist of __connective tissue with relays in the Cerebral Medulla__.
Muscle fascia, joint capsules, bursae & periosteum, consist mainly of __connective tissue with relays in the Cerebellum__.

!!Skeletal System - Conflict Associations 
The skeletal system in general related to self-worth, strength, stability and movement. In our analysis we need to pay attention to handedness and localization:
*__Dominant Side__: on the same eye level, like partner, rival
*__Non-dominant Side__: on different eye levels, like child, mother, inner child
*__Localization__: Area we were touched, affected (physically or emotionally), or that was tense at the time of the trauma.

More specifically each part of our skeletal system has unique stress trigger associations:

*__Cranial Bone__: Moral-intellectual self-devaluation.
**Feeling dumb and unintelligent.
**Humiliation, injustice, oppression, discord, infidelity, insincerity, dishonesty, fraud.
*__Eye Socket__ (bony orbits): Self-devaluation in respect to the eyes or the environment of the eyes
*__Jaw__ - Upper/Lower: Not being able to get, bite or hold
**unexpressed anger. Holding back.
*__Teeth Dentin__: not being able to bite, defend oneself:
** __front teeth__, cannot bite off
**__canine teeth__, cannot get hold of, hold on to
** __molar teeth__, cannot grind/crush/break down the chunk or problem
*__Spinal column__: Deep personality traumas related to something that is very important for the person, e.g. “My life's work has been destroyed...” ”Due to my disease, I can’t do anything and I’m not worth anything.”
*__Cervical Spine, Neck__: Not feeling free. Moral self-devaluation due to moral injury, infringement of human ethics for example: humiliation, injustice, oppression, discord, infidelity, insincerity, dishonesty, subjection (bow to someone). False price or limiting beliefs relating to morality or expectations.
*__Thoracic Spine__: Central personality devaluation due to too much weight/pressure from above
**Feeling humiliated or defeated.
**Often guilt and shame
**Local devaluation due to impairments or diseases in the thoracic cavity
*__Breastbone__ (sternum): Feeling not worthy or strong enough in relation to our chest, breasts or heart.
*__Ribs__: Not being able to protect: 
**heart or lungs 
**Self-devaluation regarding breasts because operation or insults
**Not being able to protect someone, surrogate conflict
*__Shoulders__: Not being a good mother or partner. Feeling too much weight on shoulders.
*__Arms__: Cannot embrace, hold on, throw out, kick away, defend or attack. Not satisfied ambitions.

**__Index finger__: Power, blame, pointing something out
**__Middle finger__: Spiritual connection, touching or sexual context

** not able to keep the balance
** lack of grounding
*__Ileosacral joints__: Central and deep personality devaluation
**Often sexuality-related issues
*__Wings of ilium__: Self devaluation theme, with respect to pregnancy, the concerned woman isn’t able to get pregnant because of the size of her pelvis
*__Pelvic and Pubic bone__: Sexual self-devaluation because of infertility, premature ejaculation or other sexual stress triggers
*__Ischium__: Not being able to wait or possess something
