HA Chapter 24 Musculoskeletal Flashcards
Bandlike flat tendons connecting the process of the scapula
aponeurosis
Saclike structure containing thick fluid that surrounds the areas subject to friction, such as the interface between bone and tendon
bursa
Covering of a nerve that consists of connective tissue
epineurium
Small bundle of muscles, nerves and tendons
fasciculi
Fibrous band of tissue connecting bone or cartilage to bone that aids in stabilizing a joint
ligament
Type of tissue consisting of contractile cells or fibers that affects movement of an organ or part of the body
muscle
Substance forming the sheath of Schwann cells
myelin
A feather like pattern of muscle growth
pennate
Connective tissue that surrounds muscle
perineurium
Membrane surrounding a joint, tendon, or bursa that secretes a viscous fluid called synovia
synovial sheath
Fibrous tissue connecting muscle to bone
tendon
The anterior portion of the body when in the anatomic position.
volar
The joint found in the shoulder that connects the clavicle to the acromion process of the scapula.
acromioclavicular joint
The quality of compromising varying values of a given property when measured in different directions
anisotropy
Conduit for impulses sent to and from the muscles and the central nervous system
nerve
Posterior linear equidistant artifact created when sound reverberates between 2 strong reflectors, such as air bubbles, metal, or glass
comet tail artifact
Upward movement of the hand or foot
dorsiflexion
Fibrous tunnel that contains the ulnar artery and vein, ulnar nerve, and some fatty tissue
Guyon’s canal or tunnel
Pointing of the toes toward the plantar surface of the foot
plantar flexion
The bending of the sound beam at the edge of a circular structure that results in the absence of posterior echoes
refractile shadowing
Accumulation of serous fluid within tissue
seroma
Inflammation of the tendon
tendinitis
Skeletal muscle contains long, organized units called muscle ____.
fibers
The characteristic long fibers are under voluntary control, allowing us to contract a(n) ___ and move a joint.
muscle
A(n) ____ muscle has a division of several feather-like sections in one muscle, and the ____ is the convergence of fibers to a central tendon.
multipennate; circumpennate
