4th Test Flashcards
ABDUCTION/ADDUCTION
abduction: movement away from the midline.
adduction: movement toward the midline.
ACROMION PROCESS
Part of ulna or something like that.
ADDUCT THE ARM
Move towards body
ANTAGONISTS
Inhibits functions
ANGULAR MOVEMENTS
a. flexion: bending movement that decreases the angle of the joint.
b. extension: reverse of flexion, joint angle is increased.
c. dorsiflexion: up movement of the foot.
d. plantar flexion: down movement of the foot.
e. abduction: movement away from the midline.
f. adduction: movement toward the midline.
g. circumduction: movement describes a cone in space. Uses flexion, dorsiflexion, abduction, adduction.
ARTICULAR CARTILAGE
keeps the two ends of the bones from rubbing.
ATROPHY
Waste away or degeneration
BALL AND SOCKET JOINTS
a spherical or hemispherical head of one bone articulates with a cuplike socket of another. Multiaxial joints permit the most freely moving synovial joints. Ex- shoulder and hip joint.
BEDREST OBJECTIVES
- Reduces physical activity and oxygen needs. Heart attack, aneurism patients.
- Reduce pain. Used on pregnant
- Allows ill patients to rest and regain strength. Fresh amputation.
- Allows the overworked patient to relax.
BICEPS
Two muscle attachments/heads
BICEPS BRACHII
The large muscle in the upper arm that turns the hand to face palm uppermost and flexes the arm and forearm
BODY MECHANICS
is the coordinated efforts of the musculoskeletal and nervous system to maintain proper balance, posture, and body alignment during lifting, bending, moving, and performing activities of daily living. Most efficient way to use your body with the least amount of strain on it.
BODY OF BONE
the middle, strongest, biggest, thickest, most protective.
BRACHIALIS
Middle part of arm muscles
BUCCINATOR
Cheek muscle
BURSAE
flattened, fibrous sacs lined with synovial membranes and containing synovial fluid. Common where ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, or bones rub together.
BURSITIS
an inflammation of a bursa, usually caused by a blow or friction. Symptoms are pain and swelling. Treated with anti-inflammatory drugs; excessive fluid may be aspirated.
CIRCUMDUCTION
movement describes a cone in space. Uses flexion, dorsiflexion, abduction, adduction.
COMMINUTED
Producing multiple bone splinters
COMPLETE MOBILITY
full movement
CONDYLOID JOINTS
oval articular surface of one bone fits into a complimentary depression in another. Both articular surfaces are oval. Biaxial joints permit all angular motions. Ex- radiocarpal (wrist). Between femur and tibia.
CONTRACTILITY
Capability of producing a contraction
CONTRACTURE
joints frozen in flex
CORACOID PROCESS
bird’s beak like projection.
