CH 4: Vocab Flashcards
A limitation of function resulting from scar tissue that forms between individual structures
Adhesion
A fibrous building block of connective tissue that provides strength during movement and exercise
Collagen
A permanent or transient limitation of movement or shortening of muscle or other soft tissues
Contracture
A viscoelastic property in which there is a change in shape (deformation) of tissue without actual loss of continuity
Creep
Display transient elastic properties
Temporary deformations
Display plastic properties
Permanent deformations
Changes in loads results in change in?
Deformations
A proprioceptive sensory receptor organ that is located at the insertion of skeletal muscle fibers into the tendons of skeletal muscle
Golgi Tendon Organ
The force sustained by the body
Load
What are the types of loads?
Compression, tension, shear, torsion
Sensory receptors within the belly of a muscle, which primarily detect changes in the length of muscle
Muscle spindles
A process that alters the structure of connective tissue in response to stress
Remodeling
The relative measure of the deformation of a body as a result of loading
Strain
Equals the change in length or original length of a tissue
Strain
Intensity of internal force
Stress
