MUSCULOSKELETAL RECAP Flashcards
Ligament
fibrous tissue bond connecting bone to bone
Tendon
fibrous bond of tissue connecting muscle to muscle
Muscles
contract to produce movement
Meniscus
fibro cartilaginous structure reducing friction between joints
Bursa
fluid filled sac reducing friction between muscle and bone
Grade 1 Tissue damage
Soft tissue injuries
Fibers are damaged at the microscopic level
Over-stretching, resulting in tenderness or swelling
Grade 2 Tissue damage
moderate tears involving 10-90 percent of the structure and will take several weeks to repair
