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.
CORONAL SUTURE
Between frontal and parietal
DIAPHRAGM
Separates thorax and abdomen. Assists in breathing.
DIAPHYSIS
tubular shaft that forms the axis of the long bones.
DORSIFLEX /INVERSION OF FOOT
up movement of the foot.
ENDOMYSIUM
surrounds each muscle fiber. Made of reticular muscle tissue. Binds other muscle fibers to each other. Where muscle repair takes place.
ENDOSTEUM
delicate membrane covering internal surfaces of bone. Simple squamous epithelial tissue. Provides a slick lining for things to flow over. Participates bone growth and repair from the inside.
EPIMYSIUM
outer layer. Made of tough connective dense tissue. Covers the whole muscle for attachment. Chemical barrier for muscle.
EPIPHYSEAL PLATE
growth plate. Separates the diaphysis from the epiphyses. Doesn’t become a line until after you stop growing
EPIPHYSIS
expanded ends of long bones. Exterior is compact bone, and the interior is spongy bone.
ETHMOID
Has conchas and such
EXCITABILITY
the ability to receive and respond to stimuli.
EXTENSION/FLEXION
flexion: bending movement that decreases the angle of the joint.
extension: reverse of flexion, joint angle is increased.
EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALS BREVIS
Muscle for wrist
FACET
smooth, nearly flat articular surface.
FEMUR
Big leg bone
FIBROUS JOINTS
- sutures- occur between bones of the skulls, interlocking junctions completely filled with connective tissue fibers, bind bones tightly together and allow for growth, middle age skull bones fuse together
2. syndesmoses: bones are connected by a fibrous tissue ligament. Movement varies from immovable to slightly variable. Examples include the connection between the tibia and fibula, and the radius and ulna.
3. gomphoses: the peg in socket fibrous joint between a tooth and its alveolar socket. The fibrous connection is the periodontal ligament.
FIBULA
Skinny bone in lower leg for stabilizing ankle
FISSURE
narrow, slit like opening.
FLAT BONES
thin flattened and a bit curved (sternum, and most skull bones). Protection, Muscle attachment sites, and site for red bone marrow
FLEXION
Bending joint to decrease angle
FONTANELS
Soft spot
FORAMEN
round or oval opening through a bone. always a passage way for blood vessels and nerves.
FUNCTIONS OF BONE
- Support- form the framework that supports the body and cradles soft organs
2. Protection- provide a protective case for the brain, spinal cord, and vital organs.
3. Movement- provide levers for muscles.
4. Mineral storage- reservoir for minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus.
5. Blood cell formation- hematopoiesis occurs within the marrow cavities of bones.
GLINOID PROCESS
Ulna
GLIDING JOINTS
one flat bone surface glides or slips over another similar surface. Ex- intercarpal and intertarsal joints, and between the flat articular processes of the vertebrae.
GLUTEUS MAXIMUS
Butt
GOMPHOSIS
the peg in socket fibrous joint between a tooth and its alveolar socket. The fibrous connection is the periodontal ligament.
GOUTY ARTHRITIS
deposition of uric acid crystals in joints and soft tissues, followed by an inflammation response. Typically, gouty arthritis affects the joint at the base of the great toe. In untreated gouty arthritis, the bone ends fuse and immobilize the joint. Treatment- colchicine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and glucocorticoids.
GRACILIS
A slender superficial muscle in the inner thigh
hematopoiesis
is the formation of blood cellular components.
HINGE JOINT
hinge: cylindrical projections of one bone fits into a trough-shaped surface on another. Motion is along a single plane. Uniaxial joints permit flexion and extension only. Elbow and interphalangeal joints.
HYALINE CARTILAGE
- Provides support, flexibility, and resilience.
2. Is the most abundant skeletal cartilage.
7. Present in these cartilages
a. Articular- covers the ends of long bones.
b. Costal- connects the ribs to the sternum.
c. Respiratory- makes up larynx, reinforces air passages.
d. Nasal- supports the nose.
HYOID BONE
Base of tongue. Doesn’t articulate with any other bone.
