    Study Notes

    Muscle Terminology

    • Muscul/o- refers specifically to muscle tissue.
    • Musculoskeletal pertains to both the muscular and skeletal systems, highlighting their interconnected functions.

    Muscle Diseases and Conditions

    • Muscular Dystrophy is a hereditary group of diseases leading to progressive muscle waste.
    • Myasthenia Gravis involves autoimmune attacks on acetylcholine receptors, resulting in voluntary muscle weakness without muscle atrophy.

    Muscle Injury and Repair

    • Myorrhexis denotes tearing of muscle, indicating significant injury.
    • Myoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing or reconstructing muscle, often addressing congenital or acquired defects.

    Muscle Tissue Disorders

    • Myopathy is a general term for any disorder affecting muscle tissues.
    • Myonecrosis describes the process where muscle tissue dies or is destroyed, often due to lack of blood flow or infection.

    Muscle Pain and Dysfunction

    • Myalgia is characterized by muscle pain, which can arise from various conditions.
    • Myobradia refers to a sluggish muscle reaction to stimulation, indicating potential dysfunction in muscular responses.

    Muscle Tumors

    • Myoma is a tumor comprised of muscle tissue and can occur in various forms.
    • Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor that develops from striated muscle fibers, primarily affecting children and adolescents.

    Diagnostic Techniques

    • Myogram / Electromyogram provides a graphical depiction of muscle contractions, showcasing their velocity and intensity.
    • Myography is the methodology used to record these muscular properties.

    Surgical Procedures

    • Myectomy involves the surgical removal of part of a muscle, often to alleviate conditions caused by muscle hypertrophy or tumors.

    Other Notable Terms

    • Myoedema involves the formation of a lump in a muscle following minor impact, commonly seen in exhaustion-related states.
    • Myorraphy refers to the suturing of a muscle, often after surgical procedures or injuries.
    • Kaposi's Sarcoma is a form of skin cancer that may affect internal organs, primarily found in AIDS patients. This cancer can be life-threatening.
    • Sarc/o- relates to flesh, often used in oncology to describe tumors of muscle or connective tissue.
