  • -itis
    inflammation
  • -ostomy
    surgically create an opening, outlet *Key word= Maintenance
  • Osteo
    refers to the bones
  • Oto
    ear, hearing
  • thorax
    chest
  • Pneumo
    air, lungs
  • algia
    pain
  • sub
    under
  • Ab
    away from
  • Ad
    toward, in direction of
  • Dys
    difficult, painful
  • Anti
    against
  • BX
    biopsy
  • I&D
    incision and drainage
  • Colostomy
    creation of an artificial opening into the colon
  • hypertension
    higher than normal blood pressure
  • ectomy
    surgical removal
  • plasty
    surgical repair
  • pexy
    surgical fixation
  • reno
    kidney
  • cardio
    heart
  • neuro
    nerve
  • hemo
    blood
  • oma
    tumor
  • brady
    slow
  • tachy
    fast
  • OS
    left eye
  • FX
    fracture
  • AAA
    abdominal aortic aneurysm
  • Hemicolectomy
    surgical removal of half (a portion) of the colon
  • endoscopy
    visual examination of body organs/cavities
  • interrupted stitches
    Slower and stronger type of suturing, one stitch may break without compromising the entire suture line. Each suture or stitch is tied separately.
  • continuous stitches
    fastest and easiest, if one breaks then the entire wound can come open
  • eviceration
    protrusion of organs through an incision
  • dehiscence
    wound separation exposing tissue, no organs
  • clean wounds
    1-5% infection rate, ideal conditions and elective surgeries (Class I)
  • contaminated wounds
    15-20% infection rate, open traumatic wounds less than 4 hours old. Major break in technique (Class III)
  • Primary intention healing
    wound closed after procedure with sutures or staples resulting in minimal scarring
  • Second intention healing
    wound left open and allowed to heal from the inside out due to tissue loss or presence of infection
  • Third intention healing
    wound left open a few days and cleaned multiple times to ensure no infection and then closed (delayed process)
  • Inflammatory phase
    starts right after injury, blood clots form, White blood cells kill bacteria, and scab forms
  • Fibroplastic/proliferative phase
    starts a few hours after injury, Actual healing begins. Cells divide and tissue is repaired
  • Maturation-Remodeling Phase
    2-4 weeks after injury, wound/scar shrinks and gains strength. May last a year or more
  • Collagen Fibers
    strong/resistant to stretch. Hold structures together
  • hyaline cartilage
    Most common type of cartilage; it is found on the ends of long bones and soft part of nose
  • Adipose tissue
    Fat. provides protection for joints/organs. ENERGY STORAGE
  • elastic cartilage
    capable of stretching and returning to original position
  • serous membrane
    Membrane that lines a cavity without an opening to the outside of the body
  • parietal serous membrane
    line cavity walls
  • visceral serous membrane
    cover surfaces of organs
  • mucous membrane
    line cavities and tubes that open to the outside of the body
  • epithelial tissue
    forms membranes that line hollow organs, body cavities and ducts
  • Nucleus
    located centrally. large number of DNA. Controls ALL cellular structure/activity
  • Cartilage
    intercellular material made of connective tissue embedded in semi-solid ground substance. Provides support/framework. Slow healing due to lack of blood supply
  • Mitosis
    process by which nucleus divides into 2 identical nuclei
  • Cell
    the structural and functional unit of all living things
  • Fibrous connective tissue
    closely packed, thick collagenous fibers that bind body parts together because they can withstand pulling forces
  • Simple cells
    single layer of cells in areas of minimal friction that provide minimal protection ex. heart, intestines, alveoli
  • Tissue
    A group of similar cells that perform the same function.
  • ligament
    attach bone to bone to prevent undesired motion
  • tendon
    attach muscle to bone to produce motion during contraction
  • inferior
    below or toward the feet
  • Median
    middle, midline
  • proximal
    nearer to the point of reference, usually the point of attachment
  • Adduction
    toward the midline
  • Abduction
    away from the midline
  • transverse (horizontal) plane
    plane running from anterior to posterior, parallel to the ground dividing body into superior and inferior portions
  • Sagittal
    divides the body into left and right portions
  • midsagittal plane
    divides the body into equal right and left sides
  • frontal (coronal) plane
    lengthwise cut that is perpendicular to the ground, dividing into anterior and posterior portions
  • Anatomy
    The study of body structure
  • Physiology
    The study of body function
  • Homeostasis
    tendency to maintain a stable internal environment
  • anatomical postion
    Standing erect with feet flat on the floor, face and eyes facing forward and arms at their sides with palms facing forward
  • collagen fibers
    strong and resistant to stretch. holds structures together ex. ligaments tendons
  • Hyaline Cartilage
    Most common type of cartilage; it is found on the ends of long bones, ribs, and nose
  • adipose tissue
    fat, provides protection and stores energy
  • elastic cartilage
    capable of stretching and returning to original position
  • Aponeurosis
    broad, fibrous tissues that attach adjacent muscles
  • Recruitment
    as intensity of stimulation increases, more motor units are "recruited" to lift that specific weight
  • Atrophy
    muscle tissue decreases in size
  • Synergists
    aid prime movers in performing desired ask
  • Hypertrophy
    muscle tissue increases in size
  • orbicularis oculi
    head/neck
  • pectoralis major
    upper extremity
  • deltoid
    upper extremity
  • biceps femoris
    lower exrtemity

  • semimembronosus
    lower extremity
  • Gastrocnemius
