Crepitus

Bursitis
: inflammation of bursae (pieces of synovial membrane that contain a small amount of fluid) at sites of bony prominences between muscle and tendon.
Ecchymosis
- bluish- purple discoloration of the skin.
Compression
of soft tissue that results in bleeding into surrounding tissue.
Tendinosis
- breakdown of a tendon without inflammation (degeneration)
Acute
onset muscle soreness- fatigue, occurs immediately after exercise.

Because a tendon is usually double the strength of the muscle it serves, tears commonly occur at the muscle belly, or bony attachment.
Tension
- pulls or stretches tissue.
Heat cramps

Tendinitis
- inflammation of the tendon.
Ligaments
connect bone to bone.
Physical injury
or wound that is produced by an external or internal force.
mechanical injury
When a force applied to any part of the body results in a harmful disturbance in function and /or structure- a(n) occurs.
Compression
- shortens and widens tissue.
Ligaments
are composed of dense connective tissue arranged in parallel bundles of collagen composed of rows of fibroblasts.
