Medical Terminology Of Muscular System
Muscle Types • Covers: skeleton • Function: Skeletal movement • Covers: organs, vessels • Function: Movements of liquids, gases, and solids • Covers: heart • Function: Maintain heartbeat • Rhabdomy/o • Striated (skeletal, voluntary) • Leiomy/o • Smooth(Visceral,Involuntary) • Myocardi/o • Cardiac
Importantcombining forms for muscle • Muscle - my/o, myos/o • Fascia: covers, supports, & separates muscle - fasci/o • Tendon: connects muscle to bone - tendin/o • Aponeurosis = flat tendon
Movement Or Motion For Muscle Kinesi/o = Movement
ROM = range of motion • Antagonistic pairs • Abduction ----- adduction • Flexion ---------- extension • Rotation --------circumduction • Supination ----- pronation • Dorsiflexion --- plantar flexion
Torticollis: stiff neck :خشک شدن گردن • Spasm: “cramp” • Kinesia: movement - Dyskinesia - Hyper/ hypo– kinesia • Bradykinesia -brady = slow
Hemiparesis: paresis = weakness • Hiccups = spasm of diaphragm ; also called “singultus” • Contracture = shortening of muscle & resistant to stretching
USING - TAX • Tax = coordination • Ataxia: uncoordinated voluntary muscle movement • Dystaxia: dys = bad
USING-spasm My/o/spasm -A spasm of a muscle
Using -pathy My/o/pathy: A generalized disease condition of the muscles
Using -sclerosis My/o/scler/osis: A hardening of muscle tissue
Using -oma My/oma A muscle tumor
Using -lysis My/o/lysis Destruction of muscle tissue
