HCB Test 7
atrophy - answersdecrease in size or wasting away of a body part or tissue
comminuted fracture - answersa fracture in which the bone is broken is several places
dislocation - answersthe disrupting or "coming apart" of a body part (joint) from its
normal position
gout - answersa form of arthritis, is a disorder of purine metabolism that results from an
elevated serum uric acid level
paralysis - answersloss of muscle function through injury, disease, or damage to its
nerve supply. Most paralysis is due to stroke or spinal cord injury
range of motion (ROM) - answersextent of movement of a joint, measured in degrees of
a circle
sprain - answersthe stretching or tearing of ligaments that causes pain and disability
strain - answersmuscle or tendon injury resulting from violent contraction or excessive
force
- voluntary
- involuntary
- cardiac - answerswhat are the 3 types of muscles?
voluntary muscle - answersknown as skeletal muscle, is under conscious control of the
brain via the nervous system
involuntary muscle - answersknown as smooth muscle, is found in the gastrointestinal
system, lungs, blood vessels, and urinary system
cardiac muscle - answersa specialized form of involuntary muscle, is found only in the
heart
