this is my study guide dont bully me ples
my directory &&&& and my atabook im trying my hardest guys be kind to me ,, that is literally me that is what I look like
I'm gonna use this as a notes study guide because I can everyone say hello to medical terminology

ABBREVIATIONS: | ENTER THE DEFINITION HERE: |
---|---|
ADLs | Activities of Daily Living = basic self-care tasks that individuals typically perform to maintain their daily lives |
COTA | Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant = a healthcare professional who helps patients perform daily living activities by implementing treatment plans developed by Occupational Therapists |
DTR / DTRs | Deep Tendon Reflex/s = involuntary, stereotypical muscle contractions that occur in response to a sudden stretch of the muscle tendon |
EMG | Electromyography = is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of muscles and nerves |
IM | Intramuscular = means "into the muscle" |
MD | Muscular Dystrophy for this topic it stands for muscular dystrophy, not doctor of medicine = a group of genetic diseases that cause muscle weakness and degeneration |
MRI | Magnetic Resonance Imaging = a medical imaging technique that uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures, such as bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and organs |
PT | Physical Therapy = A healthcare profession that focuses on improving physical function and mobility through exercises, manual therapy, and other interventions. |
ROM | Range of Motion = to the amount of movement possible at a joint, measured in degrees, and is a key indicator of joint functionality, flexibility, and overall musculoskeletal health. Medical professionals assess ROM to diagnose injuries, monitor rehabilitation progress, and evaluate conditions like arthritis or muscle injuries. |
RSI | Rapid Sequence Intubation = It is a medical procedure used to quickly and safely intubate a patient, meaning to insert a breathing tube into their trachea. |

troph/o- | "nourishment" or "food" |
ANATOMY: | ENTER THE DEFINITION HERE: |
---|---|
abduction | the movement of a limb or body part away from the midline of the body |
adduction | the movement towards the midline |
biceps brachii muscle | a large, two-headed muscle on the front of the upper arm that flexes the elbow and supinates the forearm. |
buccinator | a thin, quadrilateral facial muscle that forms the wall of the cheek and the lateral side of the oral cavity |
bursa | a small, fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between bones, tendons, and muscles |
contraction | the process of a muscle shortening or tightening |
deep tendon reflexes (DTR or DTRs) | involuntary, automatic muscle contractions that occur when a muscle tendon is tapped, causing a sudden stretch |
deltoid muscle | a large, triangular-shaped muscle located on the shoulder |
extension | a movement where a joint increases its angle, straightening or extending a body part |
fascia | a type of connective tissue that surrounds and supports all the structures in the body, including muscles, organs, bones, and nerves |
flexion | a movement in anatomy where the angle between two body parts decreases |
gastrocnemius muscle | a large, superficial muscle located in the posterior compartment of the lower leg |
gluteus maximus muscle | arge, superficial muscle forming the bulk of the buttocks, responsible for powerful hip extension and external rotation of the thigh |
hamstring | a group of three powerful muscles at the back of the thigh—the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris—that originate near the hip and attach below the knee |
insertion | the point of attachment of a muscle to a bone, tendon, or other structure that is moved during the muscle's contraction |
latissimus dorsi muscle | a broad, flat muscle on the back that extends from the pelvis and lower back to the shoulder and arm |
masseter muscle | a thick, quadrangular-shaped muscle located in the jaw area, primarily responsible for elevating the mandible (lower jaw) to close the mouth and chew |
origin | the point where the muscle attaches to a stationary bone or structure |
pectoralis major muscle | a large, fan-shaped muscle in the chest that moves the arm by flexing, adducting, and medially rotating it at the shoulder joint |
pronation | a movement in anatomy that involves the inward rotation of a body part |
quadriceps femoris | a powerful muscle group in the front of the thigh, composed of four muscles: the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius |
rotation | the movement of a bone or body part around its central axis |
skeletal muscles | voluntary muscles that are attached to bones and responsible for body movement |
sternocleidomastoid muscle | the anatomical structure of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle, a large, paired muscle in the neck that originates from the sternum and clavicle and inserts on the mastoid process of the temporal bone |
supination | a rotational movement of the forearm that turns the palm of the hand upward or forward |
synovial joint | a freely movable joint that allows for smooth movement between two or more bones |
tendon | a fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones |
trapezius muscle | a large, flat muscle located in the upper back and neck |
triceps brachii muscle | the prominent muscle on the back of the upper arm responsible for extending the elbow joint |
DISEASES: | ENTER THE DEFINITION HERE: |
---|---|
atrophy | the "wasting away" of a body part, like muscle or brain tissue, where the cells or tissue decrease in size or number |
bursitis | an inflammatory condition of the bursae, which are small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints and minimize friction between bones, muscles, and tendons |
contracture | the abnormal shortening of muscle or other tissue, leading to a permanent limitation in the range of motion of a joint or area of the body |
Duchenne's muscular dystrophy | a severe, genetic, and progressive muscle-wasting disorder that primarily affects boys, causing muscle weakness, loss of function, and eventually impacting the heart and breathing muscles |
Dupuytren's contracture | a genetic condition where the tissue in the palm of the hand thickens and tightens, forming cords that pull the fingers inward, making it impossible to straighten them |
fibromyalgia | a chronic condition causing widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive issues like "brain fog" |
ganglion cyst | a noncancerous, fluid-filled lump that commonly forms on the wrist, hand, or foot, but is not considered a disease |
hypertrophy | the enlargement of an organ, tissue, or cell due to an increase in the size of its existing cells, not an increase in cell number |
muscular dystrophy (MD) | a group of genetic disorders that cause muscle weakness and degeneration, which worsens over time and makes everyday activities increasingly difficult. |
repetitive strain injury (RSI) | a general term for pain in the muscles, nerves, and tendons caused by repetitive motion and overuse |
restless legs syndrome | a chronic nervous system disorder characterized by an overwhelming urge to move the legs, typically accompanied by uncomfortable sensations like creeping or crawling |
rhabdomyoma | a noncancerous (benign) tumor that grows from striated muscle tissue |
rotator cuff tear | damage or a rip in one or more of the tendons of the rotator cuff |
tendinitis | a condition characterized by the inflammation or irritation of a tendon, the fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone |
tremor | an involuntary, rhythmic shaking of a body part, such as the hands, arms, head, or voice |
