Back 8

muscle fiber

Front 9

The thin sheets of fibrous connective tissue that hold muscle fiber together

Back 9

fascia

Front 10

An extension of teh fascia and partitions within the muscle; it attaches the muscle to the bone

Back 10

tendon

Front 11

The point of attachment of the muscle to the bone that is less movable during contraction and extension

Front 21

a reduction in sizew, especially of muscle fibers

Back 21

contract / contraction

Front 22

an abnormal, usually permanent bending of a joint into a fixed position; usually caused by atrophy and shortening of muscle fibers

contracture

Front 23

Weakness of teh muscles of the pelvic girdle (the muscles that extend the hip and knee)

Back 23

pelvic girdle weakness

Front 25

a group of genetically transmitted disorders characterized by progressive weakness and muscle fiber degeneration without evidence of nerve involvment or degeneration of nerve tissue

Back 25

myscular dystrophy

Front 26

a chronic, progressive disease affecting the skeletal (striated) muscles. It is characterized by muscle weakness and degeneration

Back 26

polymyositis

Front 27

an injury to the body of a muscle ar attachment of the tendon, resulting from overstretching, overextension, or misuse

Back 27

strain

Front 28

the extraction of a specimen of muscle tissue for the purpose of examining it under a microscope
