Foundations Flashcards
haemotoma
bruising
cardiology
study of the heart
flexion
shortening angle in the arm
extension
extending angle in the arm
abduction
moving away from the mid line
adduction
moving towards the mid line
circumduction
making circles with a limb
ligaments
connecting bone to bone
tentons
connecting bone to tissue
joint cavity
space that is hollow can be filled with synovial fluid if is a synovial joint (connecting joint to a capsule
articular cartilage
covers the end of the bone, cushions for protection.
innate immunity
coming in contact with a pathogen naturally, something that you are born with or get immunity with out injection
adaptive
vaccination or from coming in contact with the pathogen
contract
exposed to a disease
extensibility
something to do with a muscle
excitability
something to do with a muscle
neuron
nerve cell
moto neuro
part of the pathway for a neuron (nerve cell))
ATP
energy
CT
Protection for muscle cells
Synapses
the fluid in-between cell
Neurotransmitters
chemicals that travel messages from cell to cells (postsynaptic & presynaptic)
Postsynaptic
Cell that is receiving message from the neurotransmitter
presynaptic
the cell that is send the message into the synapse
acetylchoine
the neurotransmitters for the skeletal muscles responsible for muscle movement of contracting
atrophy
the loss of muscle
tropomyosin & troponin
proteins in the skeletal muscle
involuntary movement
not controlled just happens like heart beat
voluntary movement
controlled - like movement
polarity
Resting state - slightly positive (think of the graph example (looks like a hill))
Depolarisation
Going from resting state and change gets more positive. Involving ICF going from negative to positive charge.
Repolarisation
positive charge starts to drop returning back to polarity
active transport
involves enerygy
varicella
chickenpox virus
Process of disease and meaning
Incubation - first came in contact with he pathogen, no symptoms
Prodromal - started showing sign.
illness - all symptoms and signs, not well.
convalescence - started getting better, signs and symptoms are going.
difference between subjective and objective data
subjective - data that the subject is giving you
objective data- data we can see and judge
viscera
hollow organs, stomach, heart, intestines
