    Study Notes

    Medical Terminology: Key Terms and Definitions

    • Kinesi/o: Refers to movement or motion, essential in understanding body mechanics.
    • Hernia: Denoted by the suffix -cele, it's an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue.
    • Fibr/o: Indicates fibrous connective tissue, crucial for structural support.
    • Fasci/o: Relates to fascia, a fibrous tissue that encases muscles.
    • -ia: A suffix meaning condition, commonly used in medical terminology.
    • Ton/o: Represents tone, tension, or stretching, important in muscle function.
    • Tend/o: Refers to tendons, which connect muscles to bones.
    • -rrhexis: Indicates rupture, often related to tissues or organs.
    • My/o: Signifies muscle, fundamental in anatomy and physiology.
    • Tax/o: Relates to coordination, significant for movement efficiency.
    • Transverse: Describes the cross-wise orientation, important in anatomical positioning.
    • Sphincter: Refers to a muscle that constricts or dilates an opening.
    • Oblique: Indicates a slanted angle, used in anatomical descriptions.
    • Rectus: Means straight, often used in naming muscles.
    • Lateralis: Indicates a position toward the side, used in anatomical references.
    • Skeletal: Describes muscles under voluntary control, key for movement.
    • Heel spur: A condition involving a thickening of the calcaneus, causing severe pain.
    • Supination: Describes the action of turning the palm upward, important in hand movements.
    • Bradykinesia: A condition characterized by extreme slowness of movement.
    • Mastoid process: The point of muscle insertion for the sternocleidomastoid, crucial for head movement.
    • Aponeurosis: A fibrous sheet that attaches muscles to bones or other tissues.
    • Adhesion: A band of fibers that holds sutures together abnormally, affecting mobility.
    • Flexor carpi: Refers to the muscle involved in wrist bending motions.
    • Tenodynia: Pain in a tendon, relevant in diagnosing tendon issues.
    • Sprain: Involuntary contraction of a muscle or injury to a joint involving stretched or torn ligaments.
    • Epicondylitis: Inflammation of tissues in the elbow, often due to repetitive movements.
    • Strain: Injury to muscle body or tendon attachment, often due to overstretching.
    • Contracture: Abnormal shortening of muscle tissue, limiting movement.
    • Involuntary muscles: Found in hollow structures, they operate without conscious control.
    • Pectoralis: Refers to the major muscle in the chest, crucial for upper body movement.
    • Dystonia: A condition of abnormal muscle tone, affecting movement quality.
    • Duchenne's dystrophy: A severe form of muscular dystrophy with a survival rate rarely beyond late twenties.
    • Ergonomics: Study of human factors in work environment, improving safety and efficiency.
    • Singultus: Refers to hiccups, a spasmodic reflex of the diaphragm.
    • Triceps brachii: Muscle located at the posterior upper arm, essential for arm extension.
    • Ataxia: Lack of muscle coordination, often impacting balance and movement.
    • Gluteus: Refers to the largest muscle of the buttock, vital for walking and posture.
    • Myorrhexis: Means rupture of a muscle, often a serious injury.
    • Myolysis: The breaking down of muscle tissue, potentially harmful for muscle health.
    • Hypokinesia: Characterized by decreased motor function or activity, affecting mobility.
    • Kinesiology: The study of muscular activity leading to body movement, integrating biology and health.
    • Dyskinesia: Distortion or impairment of voluntary movement, often seen in neurological conditions.
    • Levator: A muscle that raises a body part, essential in movement dynamics.
    • Rotator cuff: A group of muscles stabilizing the shoulder joint, crucial for upper limb mobility.
    • Impingement syndrome: Occurs when tendons become inflamed and trapped in the shoulder joint, causing pain.
    • Fascia: A connective tissue band covering and supporting muscles, playing a role in movement.
    • Dystaxia: Difficulty in controlling voluntary movement, often a sign of coordination issues.
    • Extension: The opposite of flexion, involves straightening a body part.

    Movement Terms

    • Flexion: Bending of a joint, reduces the angle between body parts.
    • Extension: Straightening of a joint, increases the angle between body parts.
    • Abduction: Movement away from the midline of the body.
    • Adduction: Movement toward the midline of the body.
    • Rotation: The act of turning around an axis.
    • Pronation: Turning the palm downward.
