Structure
What are osteoblasts.
What initiates a muscle contraction?
What is a stimulus from a motor neuron crosses the synaptic cleft as the neuromuscular junction on the cell membrane: This area is called the motor end plate.
This is a condition in which the skeletal muscles are missing a key protein that helps in the process of contraction.
What is muscular dystrophy.
This condition literally means "porous bones"
What is Osteoporosis.
What is the clinical term for "frozen shoulder" and what is it?
What is Adhesive Capsulitis, a condition in which the connective tissues that surround the glenohumeral joint become inflamed and then thickened and restrictive.
Osteoblast and osteoclasts act according to this
What is hormonal command
This structure's "rich supply of sensory neurons includes the proprioceptors that help determine and resting tone.
What is fascia.
Massage and physical therapy may be recommended to preserve function, ease pain, and slow the process of contractures in muscles that are antagonist to those weakened by this disease.
What is Muscular Dystrophy.
Carefully performed massage that targets the complicated tangle of soft tissue stresses on the spine can be useful in addressing the pain associated with many cases of _______
What are postural deviations.
What accommodations are considered appropriate for treatment of Frozen Shoulder?
These joints are most vulnerable to injury.
What are diarthrotic or synovial joints.
What stimulates the production of synovial fluid in the joint capsule.
What is healthy movement.
Explain the Pain-spasm-ischemia cycle in muscle spasms and cramps.
The pain-spasm-ischemia cycle presents one major theory behind involuntary muscle tightness. When a muscle, or part of a muscle, is suddenly or gradually deprived oxygen, it can't function properly. Rather than becoming loose or weak, according to this theory it becomes tighter and tighter.
What is hyperkyphosis?
What is an overdeveloped throracic curve; anything over 45 degrees.
What are synovial cysts found in the popliteal fossa?
What are baker's cysts.
These joints are constructed so that no rough surfaces ever touch.
What are synovial joints.
When a muscle contracts and keeps the same length while internal tone changes.
This injury involves the tearing of myofibrils and production of scar tissue, typically due to stretching or overloading.
What is a strain or "pulled muscle".
What is Osgood-Schlatter Disease and what demographic does it affect?
What is irritation and inflammation at the site of the quadriceps attachment on the tibia. It can be called tibial tuberosity apophysitis. It occurs when the quadriceps muscles are vigorously used in combination with rapid growth of the leg bones, typically during an adolescent growth spurt in athletic children.
Baker's cysts in adults are almost always connected to other joint problems like______
What are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout, or knee injuries, including cruciate ligament tears or meniscus tears.
Packets of wrapped myofibrils are bound in a fascial envelope, creating these bundles.
What are fascicles.
What structure secretes hormones that help to manage phosphate reabsorption in the kidneys; regulate blood sugar levels by boosting insulin-producing cells; and reduce fat disposition?
What are bones.
What is the treatment of a muscle strain consist of
1. Get an accurate diagnosis
2. Control inflammation
3. Rehabilitate damaged tissues
4. Prevent further injury.
What are some complications associated with Scoliosis?
What are nerve irritation as misshapen bones press on nerve roots, spondylosis, and serious heart and lung problems arising from a severely restricted rib cage.
What is gout.
What is a type of joint disorder in which inflammation related to chemical imbalances. Gout is one of the oldest diseases in recorded medical history.
