Chapter 10: Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
human skeleton consists of
206 individual bones
axial skeleton divided into three regions
skull, rib cage, vertebral column
four type of bones
short, irregular, flat, long
long bone
diaphysis is shaft, distal and proximal epiphysis
muscul/o, my/o
muscle
leiomy/o
smooth muscle (visceral)
rhabd/o
rod-shaped (striated)
rhabomy/o
rod-shaped (striated) muscle
chondr/o
cartilage
crani/o
cranium
femor/o
femur
patell/o
patella
tibi/o
tibia
pelv/o, pelv/i
pelvis
scapul/o
scapula
vertebr/o
vertebra
stern/o
sternum
chondr/o
cartilage
cost/o
ribs
arthr/o
joint
orth/o
straight
oste/o
bone
thorac/o
chest
spondyl/o, vertebr/o
vertebrae
abnormal condition of being stiff, bent, or crooked
ankylosis
closed fracture
break with no external skin wound
open (compound) fracture
break with external wound
complicated fracture
broken bone injures an internal organ
comminuted fracture
bone proken or splintered into pieces
impacted fracture
end of broken bone wedged into interior of another bone
incomplete fracture
break does not cross whole bone
greenstick fracture
break in which bone is partially bent and split, common in children with rickets
colles fracture
break in lower end of radius
herniated disk
herniation of nucleus pulposus between two vertebrae
rehumatoid arthritis
autoimmune disease in which immune system attacks its own cartilage and connective tissue
talipes equinovarus
clubfoot
osteomyelitis
infection - inflammation swelling, localized heat, redness, pain, tenderness at end around a bone
sequestrum
area of dead bone
gout
metabolic disease, inflamed joints due to build up or uric acid crystals; characterized by hyperurecemia and renal calculi
contracture
fibrosis of connective tissue in skin, fascia, muscle, joint that prevents normal mobility
crepitation
grating sound made by movement of bone ends rubbing together
dystrophy
progressice degeneration of body tissue such as muscle caused by inadequete nourishment of affected area
kyphosis
incresae curvature of thoracic region - hunchback
subluxation
partial or complete dislocation
torticollis
spasmodic contraction of neck muscles causing stiffness and twisting of neck
myelography
radiography of spinal cord fter injection of contrast medium to identify and study spinal distortions
rehumatoid factor
blood test to detect presence of rheumatoid factor, a substance present in rehumatoid arthritis pts
bone reabsorption inhibitors
to treat weak and fragile bones as seen in osteoporosis and Paget disease
gold salts
inhibit activity within immune system by preventing further disease progression - rheumatoid arthritis
NSAIDs
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
