This cell is responsible for making new bones.

Osteoclast

Osteoblast

Myocytes

250 POINTS

RIGHT!

Osteoblasts are the cells that form new bones and grow and heal existing bones. They release bone matrix that turns proteins into new tissue. Bone matrix fills in gaps and spaces in your existing bone tissue. Osteocytes are cells inside mature bone tissue.

50 POINTS

FOR 50 POINTS

A muscle that brings two bones closer together, causing flexion of the part or a deceased angle of the joint.

Flexor

Pronator

Epicondyle

50 POINTS

RIGHT!

Flexor muscles decrease the angle between bones on two sides of a joint are called flexor muscles. The bending of the elbow and knee are examples of flexion. A flexor muscle initiates flexion which is the phenomenon of decreasing angle between bones. Pronator is any of several muscles that permit pronation of the hand, forelimb, or foot to face downwards.

This is a common medications to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and bring down a high temperature.

Antibiotics Medications

Opioids

Non-steroidal Drugs

75 POINTS

RIGHT!

Antibiotics are used to treat or prevent some types of bacterial infection. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines are widely used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and bring down a high temperature. Opioids are drugs with pain relieving properties that are used primarily to treat pain. Opioids can also induce euphoria (feeling high), which gives them the potential to be used improperly.

This is used to visualize, diagnose and treat joint problems.

Endoscopy

Arthroscopy

MRI

250 POINTS

RIGHT!

Arthroscopy (ahr-THROS-kuh-pee) is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. A surgeon inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic video camera through a small incision to view inside the joint. This is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor. MRI is a type of diagnostic test that can create detailed images of nearly every structure and organ inside the body. An endoscopy procedure involves inserting a long, flexible tube called an endoscope down the throat and into the esophagus.

Adduction

50 POINTS

RIGHT!

Fascia is fibrous membrane separating and enveloping muscles. Supination is turning the palm upward. Abduction is the movement away from the midline of the body.

Skeletal muscle

Visceral muscle

Plantar flexion

500 POINTS

RIGHT!

Visceral muscles are smooth muscle connected to internal organs. Skeletal muscles are striated muscle connected to bones. Plantar flexion is bending the sole of the foot downward toward the ground.

Ligament

Epicondyle

Humerus

25 POINTS

RIGHT!

Epicondyleis a protuberance above or on the condyle of a long bone, especially either of the two at the elbow end of the humerus. Humerus is the bone of the upper arm or forelimb, forming joints at the shoulder and the elbow. A ligament is a short band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue that connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.

75 POINTS

RIGHT!

The combining form "chondr/o" refers to cartilage. Costochondritis (kos-toe-kon-DRY-tis) is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone (sternum). Rhabdomy/o refers to skeletal muscle connected to bones. Myos/o refers to muscle.

This medical condition is caused by the decrease in Vitamin D, resulting in the softening of the bones.

Osteoarthritis

Osteomalacia

Osteoporosis

250 POINTS

RIGHT!

Osteomalacia occurs when bones become soft through dysfunction in the bone turnover process. Osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage in the joints wears down over time and causes stiffness, pain, swelling, and decreased mobility. Osteoporosis develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the structure and strength of bone changes. This can lead to a decrease in bone strength that can increase the risk of fractures (broken bones).
