It causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels and is effective in diminishing bleeding and edema. (should not take place directly on skin)Term Definition uses an elastic bandage and is generally determined by the type of injury and physician preference. Some experts disagree on the use of an elastic bandage. When used, the bandage should be 3-4 inches wide and applied firmly. Toes or fingers should be periodically checked for blue or white discoloration, indicating that the bandage is too tight.Term Definition used to reduce swelling. The injured part should be elevated on two or three pillowsTerm Definition lacking muscle tone; weak, soft, flabbyTerm Definition thermotherapy; treatment using scientific application of heat can be used 48-72 hours after the injury.

The muscles of the heart and some other involuntary muscles are also affected by this condition, and a few forms involve other organs as well.Term Definition use of the upper extremity muscles to raise oneself to a standing position. This is a good indication of muscle weakness of the legs caused by muscular dystrophy.Term Definition Term Definition chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body. Its name, which is Latin and Greek in origin, literal means "grave muscle weakness" because the primary symptom is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest.Term Definition embryonic cell that develops into a cell of muscle fiberTerm Definition tumor that contains muscle and fiberTerm Definition instrument used to record muscular contractionsTerm Definition muscular motion or activityTerm Definition Term Definition tumor containing muscle tissueTerm Definition softening of muscle tissueTerm Definition weakness or slight paralysis of a muscleTerm Definition surgical repair of a muscleTerm Definition surgical suture of a muscle woundTerm Definition malignant tumor derived from muscle tissueTerm Definition abnormal condition of hardening of muscleTerm Definition inflammation of muscle tissue, especially skeletal muscles; may be caused by infection, trauma, or parasitic infestationTerm Definition spasmodic contraction of a muscleTerm Definition surgical instrument used to cut muscleTerm Definition pertaining to both nerves and musclesTerm Definition pertaining to a disease condition involving both nerves and musclesTerm Definition paralysis affecting many musclesTerm Definition bodily posture or attitude; the manner in which a patient's body may be arranged for examination (a separate set of flashcards for these)Term Definition artificial device used to replace an organ or body part, such as a hand, arm, leg, or hipTerm Definition muscle that has four heads or points of originTerm Definition process in which a muscle loosens and returns to a resting stageTerm Definition Term Definition general term used to describe conditions characterized by inflammation, soreness, and stiffness of muscles and pain in jointsTerm Definition stiffness of skeletal muscles seen in death; develops between the 4th and 24th hour after death, then ceasesTerm Definition process of moving a body part around a central axisTerm Definition group of muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the shoulder. the four muscles of the rotator cuff (subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor), along with the teres major and the deltoid, make up the six scapulohumeral muscles of the human bodyTerm Definition those muscles that connect to the humerus and scapula and act on the glenohumeral jointTerm Definition plasma membrane surrounding each striated muscle fiberTerm Definition condition of increased muscular tone causing stiff and awkward movementsTerm Definition muscle arising from the sternum and clavicle with its insertion in the mastoid processTerm Definition excessive, forcible stretching of a muscle or the musculotendinous unitTerm Definition pertaining to certain muscles that work togetherTerm Definition inflammation of a synovial membraneTerm Definition band of fibrous connective tissue serving for the attachment of muscles to bones; a giant yellow tumor of a tendon sheath is a benign, small, yellow, tumorlike noduleTerm Definition surgical binding of a tendonTerm Definition Term Definition condition characterized by cramps, convulsions, twitching of the muscles, and sharp flexion of the wrist and ankle joints; generally caused by an abnormality in calcium (Ca) metabolismTerm Definition pertaining to tone, especially muscular tensionTerm Definition Term Definition stiff neck caused by spasmodic contraction of the muscles of the neck; "wryneck"Term Definition muscle having three heads with a single insertionTerm Definition under the control of one's will What is a kneading or rolling method of massage that requires pressing the muscles?Petrissage massage technique can include stretching, kneading and squeezing soft tissues and underlying muscles. Petrissage lifts tissues away from structures to relieve tension and stretches and loosens muscles fibres.
Which term refers to inflammation of muscle and fibrous tissue?Shoulder joint
Tendons are thick fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone. Overuse or strain on a joint can inflame tendons and result in tendinitis. Tendinitis is inflammation of the thick fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone. These cords are called tendons.
Which medical term best describes shortening or tightening of a muscle?Muscle contraction is the tightening, shortening, or lengthening of muscles when you do some activity. It can happen when you hold or pick up something, or when you stretch or exercise with weights. Muscle contraction is often followed by muscle relaxation, when contracted muscles return to their normal state.
What term would best mean the movement of muscles?kinesi/o (movement, motion) my/o (muscle) myos/o (muscle) radi/o (nerve root)
