three types of muscles

skeletal


smooth/visceral


cardiac

skeletal muscles

attach to the bones of the skeleton


voluntary


striated


many function in pairs through the opposing actions of contraction and relaxation

voluntary muscles

function under conscious control


skeletal muscles, muscles responsible for movement of face, eyes, tongue, and pharynx

smooth / visceral muscles

found in the walls of hollow organs and tubes such as the stomach, intestines, respiratory passageways, and blood vessels


no striations


involuntary

cardiac muscle

specialized type of muscle that forms the wall of the heart


striated


involuntary- controlled by the ANS

muscle fibers

muscle cells

fascia

thin sheets of fibrous connective tissue that hold muscle fibers together

origin

the muscle end attached to the less movable bone

insertion

muscle end attached to the more movable bone

ankyl/o

stiff

arthr/o

articulation


joint

burs/o

bursa

chondr/o

cartilage

muscul/o

muscle

my/o

muscle

ten/o

tendon

tend/o

tendon

IM

intramuscular

MD

muscular dystrophy

DTR

deep tendon reflexes

EMG

electromyography

joint


articulation

point at which 2 individual bones connect

fibrous joint

bone surfaces fit closely together and are joined by fibrous connective tissue


immovable


ex: skull sutures

cartilaginous joint

bones are joined by cartilage


limited movement


ex: pubic symphysis

synovial joint

have a space between the bones called the joint cavity


bones held together by ligaments


allow for free movement

synovial membrane

lines the joint cavity


secretes synovial fluid

synovial fluid

lubricating fluid secreted by the synovial membrane

bursa

small sacs adjacent to some synovial joints containing synovial fluid


tend to be associated with bony prominences


lubricate the area around the joint where friction is most likely to occur

hinge joint

allows movement in 1 direction- back and forth


ex: elbow, knee


synovial

ball-and-socket joint

allow movements in many directions around a central point


ball-shaped head fits into the depression of another bone


synovial

flexion

bending motion


decreases the angle between 2 bones

extension

straightening motion


increases the angle between two bones

abduction

movement of a bone away from the midline of the body

adduction

movement of a bone toward the midline of the body

rotation

movement that involves the turning of a bone on its own axis

supination

act of turning the palm up or forward

pronation

act of turning the palm down or backward

dorsiflexion

backward flexing or bending


in the foot- narrows the angle between the leg and tip of the foot


bends foot up at the ankle

plantar flexion

increases the angle between the leg and the top of the foot (foot bent, toes pointing down)

circumduction

movement of an extremity in a circular motion


can be performed with ball-and-socket type joints

arthrocentesis

surgical puncture of a joint with a needle to withdraw fluid for analysis



arthrography

injection of a contrast medium into the joint, followed by an x-ray to view the joint interior

arthroplasty

the surgical repair of a joint to restore mobility


tx for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and congenital deformities

arthroscopy

visualization of the interior of a joint using a specially designed endoscope inserted through a small incision into the joint



rheumatoid factor

blood test that measure the presence of unusual antibodies that develop in a number of connective tissue diseases

erythrocyte sedimentation rate

blood test that measures the rate at which erythrocytes settle to the bottom of a test tube filled with blood mixed with an anticoagulant


elevated sed rates are associated with inflammatory conditions


higher the sed rate, the more severe the inflammation

bucc/o

cheek

dors/o

back

electr/o

electricity

fasci/o

band of fibrous tissue

fibr/o

fiber

leiomy/o

smooth muscle

pector/o

pertaining to the chest

rhabdomy/o

striated muscle


skeletal

troph/o

development

bi-

two

dys-

bad

tri-

reeth

-graphy

process of recording

ADL

activities of daily living

AROM

active range of motion

CBC

complete blod count

CRP

C-reactive protein

DIP

distal interphalangeal

DTR

deep tendon reflexes

PROM

passive range of motion

RA

rheumatoid arthritis

RF

rheumatoid factor

ROM

range of motion

sed rate, ESR

sedimentation rate

SLE

systemic lupus erythematosus
