Q

3 main types of muscle

A 
cardiac muscle (heart) -  
visceral or involuntary muscle (internal organs)  - smooth muscle found in the walls of internal structures

example of synovial joints
``` elbow knee ankle shoulders hip joint ```
26
four common types of joint motion
extension - straighten flexion - bend rotation - movement of own axis circumduction - circular movement
27
ROM
range of motion maximum amount of movement that a healthy joint is capable of measured in the degree of a circle
28
ligaments
strong bands of fibrous connective tissue that connect bones or cartilage and serve to support and strengthen joints
29
myofibrosis
tissue is replaced by fibrous tissue
30
myasthenia
fatigue and muscle weakness resulting from a defect in the conduction of nerve impulse.
31
simple fracture
bones is broken but does not puncture skin surface
32
compound fracture
the bone is broken and visible through an opening in the skin
33
herniated disk
when disk between the vertebrae become diseased, sometime rupturing (slipped disk)
34
parapelegia
paralysis of the lower body and both legs
35
quadripelegia - tetrapelegia
paralysis of the arms and legs
36
paresis
motor weakness or partial paralysis
37
paraparesis
partial paralysis of the lower limbs
38
osteomyrlitis
infection of the bone and bone marrow caused by infectious microorganism
39
sarcomas
cancers that arise from connective tissue
40
leukemia
chronic or acute diseases of blood forming tissues characterized by unrestrained growth of leukoctyes and their precursors
41
posterior iliac crest
preferred site for bone marrow aspiration sternum can be used in adults
42
metabolism
sum of all the chemical processes that result in growth
43
osteitis deformans (paget disease)
skeletal disease of elderly persons characterized by chronic bone inflammation. causes thickening and softening of bones
44
deformans
deformity or disfiguring
45
spondylomalacia
softening of the vertebrae
46
dowagers hump
abnormal curvature of the spine from front to back often seen in osteoporosis
47
bifida
divided into two parts (bi) | spinal bifida allows herniation of the spinal cord
48
scoliosis
lateral curvature of the spine
49
kyphosis
humpback or hunchback | Most commonly seen in osteoporosis
50
muscular dystrophy
group of inherited diseases characterized by weakness, atrophy of muscles
51
atrophy
wasting
52
tarsoptosis
flatfoot - inherited condition causes the flattening of the foot arch
53
DJD
degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis | most common form of arthritis -
54
rheumatism
acute or chronic conditions characterized by inflammation, soreness and stiffness of muscles and pain in joints
55
lupus erythematosus (LE)
autoimmune disease that involves connective tissue
56
gout
caused by hyperuricemia
57
closed reduction
manipulation of a fracture without surgery
58
open reduction
manipulation of a fracture requiring surgery
59
internal fixation
surgery using pins or other materials to immobilized a broken bone
60
external fixation
use metal pins attached to a compression device outside the skin surface used in open and closed reduction
61
craniotomy
bone incised | any surgical opening into the skull
62
craniectomy
segment of skull removed
63
laminectomy
surgical removal of the bony posterior arch of a vertebrae to permit surgical access to the disk so that the herniated material can be removed.
64
diskectomy
complete excision of an intervertebral disk
65
spinal puncture
spinal tap or lumbar puncture puncture of the spinal cavity with a needle to either extract the spinal fluid for diagnostics or to introduce agents into the spinal column for anesthesia or radiographic studies.
