Musculoskeletal System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Skeltal system | the bones that comprise the framework of the body |
| Muscles | contractile units that produce movement |
| Joint | a place where two or more bones meet |
| Ligaments | fibrous tissue that connecting bones or supporting organs |
| Tendons | tough bands of connective tissue that attach muscle to a bone or other structure |
| Bursa | a small fluid-filled sac located in some joints as a cushion |
| Cartilage | "gristle" tough fibrous tissue covering ends of bones and forming some parts of the body (e.g. nose and outer ear) |
| Fibrous (fixed) joint | no movement between the bones (skull bones) |
| Cartilage joint | permits a little movement (ribs) |
| Synovial joint | a freely movable joint (knee, elbow, hip, shoulder, etc) |
| Flexion | bending |
| Extension | straightening |
| Adduction | to move toward the body |
| Abduction | to move away from the body |
| Rotation | to move in a circular motion |
| Ambulation | walking |
| Ambulatory aids | use of canes, crutches, walkers, etc. to assit with walking |
| Contracture | a permanent shhortening (contraction) of a muscle |
| R.O.M. | Range of Motion exercises |
| Arthritis | inflammation of a joint |
| Osteoporosis | condition in which bones weaken and become more brittle due to lack of calcium |
| THA | Total Hip Arthroplasty (hip replacement) |
| Bursitits | inflammation of a bursa within a joint. This occurs when mineral deposits form inside the bursa. |
| Strains | the over-use or over stretching of a muscle or tendon. |
| Sprains | the over-stretching of a joint or ligament |
| Dislocations | one or more of the bones of a joint is pushed out of proper position, resulting in discomfort, limited movement, swelling, discoloration (red at first, then "black and blue" color). |
| Fractures | a broken bone. |
| Osteoarthritis | caused by "wear and tear" on a joint. Either due to injury or aging, the cartilage that protects the ends of the bones begins to deteriorate. |
| Rheumatoid arthritis | the joint becomes inflamed, causing the membranelining inside the oint (synovial membrane) to thicken in response to the inflammation. |
| Muscular Dystrophy | a genetic condition where the muscles contain fat depositis. This makes the muscles look enlarged but in reality, they are much weaker. |
| Contractures | a permanent shortening of the flexor muscles due to a lack of use. |
