Musculoskeletal: Body Organs Review and Diseases

Skeletal Structure is made of what 4 things?

(206) Bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints

Arthr/o

joint

Chondr/o

cartilage

Costa/I

ribs

Ossi, Oste/o

bone

Ostealgia

pain in the bones

Gout

A form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden attacks of intense pain, redness, and swelling.

Bone Fracture

A medical condition in which a bone is broken or cracked, often resulting from trauma, osteoporosis, or stress. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, and difficulty using the affected limb.

Osteoarthritis

Degenerative condition where smooth cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears away causing painful bone on bone friction

Arthritis

Inflammation or swelling of one or more joints. Causing pain, stiffness, and restricted movement in the affected areas.

Osteoporosis

Bones lose density and mass causing them to become weak and brittle. It develops silently.

Sprain

Injury to ligament (tough, fibrous tissue that connects bone to bone at a joint) Usually caused by falls, sudden twists, or blows to the body that forces a joint out of its normal position.

Tendonitis

Inflammation or irritation of a tendon (attaches muscles to bones) Usually caused by repetitive, overuse movements.

Kinds of NSAIDS - Non-Steoidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs used for Skeletal conditions and diseases

Motrin (ibuprofen), Ocufen (flurbiprofen), Torodol (ketorolac) Aleve (naproxen), Mobic (meloxicam)

COX 2 Inhibitor used for skeletal conditions and diseases

Celebrex (celecoxib)

DMARDs - Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs used for skeletal conditions and diseases

Humira (adalimumab), Enbrel (etanercept), Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), Remicade (inflixmab), Methotrexate, cyclophosphamide

5 medications for skeletal conditions and diseases

NSAIDs, COX 2 inhibitors, DMARDs, Colcrys (colchicine) and Zyloprim (allopurinol), and Calcium with Vitamin D

Skeletal Muscle

Voluntary muscle that is attached to bone by tendons. More than 600 skeletal muscles enable our bodies to perform many activities

Smooth muscle

Involuntary and used to digestion food, etc.

Cardiac Muscle

Found in heart tissue allowing heart to pump blood

Autonomic nervous system

controls involuntary muscles used in various functions

Muscle fiber

a single muscle cell made up of a bundle of myofibrils, consisting of thick and thin filaments

My/o

muscle

Myocyte

muscle cell

Sarc/o

flesh

Somatic nervous system

controls voluntary muscles

Spasm/o

Involuntary muscle contraction; convulsion; cramp

Myalgia

muscle pain, tenderness or weakness

Myasthenia Gravis

Condition characterized by chronic fatigue and muscle weakness

Myosclerosis

Abnormal hardening of muscle tissue that results in severe limitation of body movement

Rhabdomyolysis

Adverse effect of muscle weakening caused by several medicationsn used to treat high cholesterol

Strain

Injury to a muscle, tendon, or ligament caused by overextension

Medications for Muscular Conditions and Diseases

Anectine, Botox, Enlon, Bentyl, Doutamine, Lopressor, Urecholine
