What is a attending physician?
the ability to contract without the involvement of a nerve supply. Automaticity is a property of visceral, smooth, and cardiac muscles.
What is a automaticity?

What is a antispasmodic or anticholinergic?
CRIF
What is a closed reduction and internal fixation?
Normally, the formation of a fibrous band of tissue that holds two parts or surfaces together, as in the healing of a wound. In a disease condition, the formation of a fibrous band of tissue that holds two surfaces together due to inflammation or trauma
What is a adhesion?

What is a Goniometry?
Most common first-aid treatment for muscular injuries; often referred to as “RICE.”
What is a Rest Ice Compression Elevation? (RICE)

What is a nuclear medicine imaging? (NMI)
Treatment to rehabilitate a patient who has experienced an illness or injury. Common methods include exercise; hydrotherapy (water therapy), shown in Figure 5.22; ultrasound; and diathermy (DIGH-uh-THER-mee), or deep heating of body tissues using a high-frequency electrical current.

What is a myoplasty?
A group of drugs with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (AN-tee-pigh-RET-ik) (fever-reducing) properties. Aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are common over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDs. This group of drugs is set apart from other drugs that have the same properties because they are nonsteroidal.
What is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs? (NSAID)
ORIF
What is a open reduction and internal fixation?
the ability to contract (shorten); for example, the biceps muscle contracts when the arm is flexed.
What is a contractility?
