Answer 24

Bruising, impact causing bleeding that doesn’t interrupt the skin

Question 25

Myositis Ossificans

Answer 25

a condition where bone tissue forms inside muscle or other soft tissue after an injury

Question 26

Explain the difference between axial and appendicular skeleton

Answer 26

Axial: Center Part (Skull, Spine, Ribs, Sternum) Appendicular: Shoulder, arm, leg, and pelvis

Question 27

Define the functions of the skeletal system

Answer 27

Protect Support Assist with movement Storage for blood cells and minerals

Question 28

Type of fracture: | Break is contained in the skin

Answer 28

Simple/Closed fx

Question 29

Type of fracture: | Incomplete breaks

Answer 29

Greenstick fx

Question 30

Cominuted fx

Question 32

Type of fracture: | Small incomplete break from overuse

Answer 32

Stress fx

Question 33

Type of fracture: | Break at growth plate

Answer 33

Epiphyseal fx

Question 34

Fracture

Answer 34

Break in the bone

Question 35

Explain + Define the difference between skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle

Answer 35

Skeletal: - Attached to bones - Aids in movement - voluntary Smooth: - Found in organs - involuntary Cardiac - makes up the heart - involuntary

Question 36

Explain the physiology of a muscle strain

Answer 36

Muscle fibres tear due to extensive mechanical stress. This mostly occurs as a result of a powerful eccentric contraction or over-stretching of the muscle.

Question 37

List the different types of soft tissue injuries

Answer 37

- Abrasion - Puncture - Laceration - Avulsion - Contusion

Question 38

Explain how the body responds to injury

Answer 38

Inflammation: Body's response to physical/chemical trauma Cell Regeneration: Act of wound healing, tissues, and rebuilding Cell Dedifferation: The process in which a cell changes from one cell type to another. Usually, the cell changes to a more specialized type. Cell Transdifferentation: Lineage reprogramming, is an artificial process in which one mature somatic cell is transformed into another mature somatic cell without undergoing an intermediate pluripotent state or progenitor cell type.

Question 39

Explain the anatomy of a nerve cell

Answer 39

Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon. Signals are received through the dendrites, travel to the cell body, and continue down the axon until they reach the synapse (the communication point between two neurons).
