Superficial Tissues and Injuries Flashcards
Epithelial Tissue
main tissue of the skin, lines body cavities and tubes
Connective Tissue
framework for most organs. supports other tissues and parts
Nerve Tissue
pathway for communication from central nervous system to muscles and organs
Muscle Tissue
fibers contracting allowing muscles to produce movement and power
Soft Tissues
fascia, cartilage muscles, tendons, ligaments, veins and arteries
Rotation
Circular motion
Adduction
Towards body
Abduction
away from body
Extension
increased angle between two bones
Flexion
decreased angle between two bones
Inversion
turn inward
Eversion
turn outward
Cardiac muscle tissue
makes up walls of the heart and contracts
Smooth/ Visceral Musle tissue
found throughout body in internal organs, respiratory tract, digestive tract
Skeletal/ striated muscle
attaches to bones and produces movement upon command from brain
Atrophy
muscles aren’t used they begin to waste or thin
Muscle tone
muscles remain partially contracted at all times even at rest
Muscle strains
overstretching or tearing of muscles or adjacent tissues such as facias or tendons
Myositis Ossificans
condition in which calcium is produced within the muscles after a blow
Tendonitis
Repeated stress to tendons, micro tearing of tendon sheath
Fibrous
immovable, bones and cranium and skull
