tendon | Attaches Muscle to bone. |
Striated Muscle | Muscles that have a striped appearance when viewed under a microscope.EX:Skeletal&Cardiac muscles |
insertion | The POINT OF ATTACHMENT of a muscle to bone and moves. MORE MOVEABLE |
Tibialis Anterior | muscle positioned on the front of the leg. responsible for turning foot inward&for dorsiflexing the foot. |
gastrocnemius | Main muscle of the Calf. Used in standing on tiptoes(plantar flexing foot) & flexing toes. |
gluteus medius | Used for IM injection, smaller muscle located above the upper outer quadrant of the gluteus maximus. helps abduct thigh. |
gluteus maximus | Forms most of the fleshy part of the buttock.Offers support when individual is standing. extends thigh |
deltoid | Used for IM injections. Muscle that covers shoulder joint;originates from the clavicle & scapula,inserts on lateral side of humerus. |
Abduction | Movement of a bone away from midline of body. |
Adduction | Movement of a bone towards midline of the body. |
Pelvic girdle weakness | Weakness in the pelvic girdle. In MD it weakens causing a child to use 1 or both hands to assist in rising from a sitting position by "walking" the hands up the lower extremities until in upright position. |
Arthralgia | pain in the joins;symptoms present many joint diseases. |

Pronation | Turning palms downward or backward |
Supination | Turning palms upward or forward |
Rotation | The turning of a bone on it's own axis. |
Osteoarthritis AKA Degenerative Joint Disease | MOST COMMON FORM OF ARTHRITIS;results from wear and tear on the joints, especially weight bearing joints such as knees and hipsl. |
Sciatica | Inflammation of the nerve marked by pain & tenderness along the path of the nerve through the thigh and leg |
arthrocentesis | Surgical puncture of a joint w/a needle for the purpose of withdrawing fluid for analysis. |

Synovial Fluid | Thick lubricating fluid located in synovial joints |
Closed Reduction or Manipulation | Manual forcing of a joint back into it's original psition without surgery |
Extension | A straightening motion;increases the angle between two bones. |
Hamstring muscles | located in the posterior part of the thigh are hamstring muscles which are responsible for flexing the leg on the thigh |
Skeletal muscles | muscles that attach to the bones of the skeleton; also known as striated muscle. Skeletal muscles act voluntarily |
Smooth muscle | muscles found in the walls of hollow organs and tubes such as the stomach, intestines, respiratory passageways, and blood vessels; also known as visceral muscles. Smooth muscles act involuntarily |
Visceral muscle | muscles of the internal organs |
Voluntary muscle | muscles that operate under conscious control |
Fibrous joint | the surfaces of the bones fit closely together and are held together by fibrous connective tissue |
Cartilaginous joint | the bones are connected by cartilage-as in the symphysis(joint between the pubic bones of the pelvis |
