Q

Muscle spasm

A

A reflex reaction caused by trauma to musculoskeletal system

  • clonic: involuntary contraction characterized by alternate contraction and relaxation in rapid succession
  • tonic: contraction characterized by a constant contraction that lasts for a period of time

Q

Mayofascial trigger point

A

A discreet, hypersensitive nodule within a taught band of skeletal muscle/fascia.

Latent: May not cause spontaneous pain but may restrict movement or cause weakness
Active: causes pain at rest. Palpating will elicit “jump sign” and referred pain pattern.

18
Q

Contusion

A

Compression of soft tissue that results in bleeding into surrounding tissues

19
Q

Ecchymosis

A

Bluish/purple discoloration of the skin

20
Q

Myositis ossificans

A

Calcium deposits that result from repeated trauma

21
Q

Synovial joint

A

Articulation of two bones surrounded by a joint capsule lined with synovial membrane

22
Q

Diastasis

A

Separation if two articulating bones (dislocation/subluxation)

23
Q

Osteoarthritis

A

Progressive degradation of the hyaline cartilage of a joint

24
Q

Bursae

A

Piece of synovial membrane that contains a small amount of fluid with the goal of refusing the friction in that location of the body

25
Q

Cancellous bone

A

The inner more pours aspect of bone

26
Q

Periosteum

A

A dense white fibrous membrane covering the outside of a bone which contains the blood supply to the bone

27
Q

Haversian canals

A

Branching canals that exist throughout bone which contains both blood and lymphatic vessels.

28
Q

Sharply’s fibers

A

Fivers emanating from the periosteum which penetrate the underlying bone

29
Q

Osteoblasts

A

Bone forming cells

30
Q

Osteoclasts

A

Bone-remodeling cells

31
Q

Hypoesthesia

A

Diminished sense of feeling

32
Q

Hyperesthesia

A

Increased sense of feeling such as pain or touch

33
Q

Parethesia

A

Numbness, prickling or tingling which may occur from a direct blow or stretch to a nerve

34
Q

Referred pain

A

Pain that is felt at a point of the body other that it’s origin

Increased temperature

39
Q

Functio laesa

A

Loss of function

40
Q

Margination

A

Neutrophils and macrophages line up along the cell wall (in the inflammation response)

41
Q

Diapedesis

A

Movement of WBC out of small arterial vessels (part of inflammation response)

42
Q

Exudate

A

Accumulation of fluid that penetrates through vessel walls into and joining extravascular space

43
Q

Phagocytes

A

Neutrophils, macrophages, and leukocytes that ingest microorganisms, other cells and foreign particles.
