What is a synovial joint?
These are the two muscle states.
What is atrophy and hypertrophy?
This type of blood cells are important for clotting.
What are platelets?
This structure creates speech by closing (not 100%) and vibrating when air passes through.
What is the glottis?
This condition is often caused by eating too much red meat.
What is gouty arthritis?

What is pseudostratified columnar ET?
Another word for this condition is "hardening of the arteries."
What is arteriosclerosis?

What are sutures and syndesmoses?
This fascicle arrangement is the strongest since it has a lot of muscle fibers.
What are multipennate muscles?
This structure is the thickest layer of cardiac muscle needed to pump the heart.
What is the myocardium?

The treatment for this circulatory system condition are compression socks as they compensate for the lack of elastin fibers in the skin.
What are varicose veins?
This structure in the synovial joint guides movement in one direction.
What is the meniscus?

What is dense regular CT?
When the heart makes a "dub" sound, this structure closes.
What are semilunar valves?
This type of cartilage makes up the uvula, a flap that opens and closes to cover the windpipe in the larynx.

This respiratory condition is the #1 cause of death in premature babies as they are born before being able to produce surfactant.
What is neonatal respiratory distress syndrome?
This fluid is how the synovial joint gets its nutrients since it does not have a perichondrium.
