| An articulation of the facets between each contiguous part of vertebrae in the spinal column A small, smooth, articular surface on a bone The surgical resection of a vertebral facet To assist the progress of Strain at which a material breaks or fails Stress at which a material breaks or fails Abnormal movement along the length of a bone caused by a fracture or incomplete fusion Fibrous membrane that covers, supports, and separates musclesA fibrous membrane that supports and separates muscles and unites the skin with the underlying tissues Bundle of muscle fibers; also referred to as a fasciculus Inflammation of fascia The long bone of the thigh Blood plasma protein that is converted into a fibrin clot Any cell component from which fibers are developed Type of cartilage (e.g., intervertebral disks) in which the matrix contains thick bundles of collaginous fibers Cartilage with heavier collagen fibers than hyaline cartilage; the intervertebral disks and articular disks such as the menisci are examples of fibrous cartilage; also referred to as fibrocartilage or white fibrocartilage Joint in which fibrous connective tissue joins bones together, usually in a rigid manner; sutures and syndesmoses are types of fibrous joints Development of excessive fibrous connective tissue; fibroid degeneration Specific control of the muscles allowing for completion of small, delicate tasks Number of seconds from lighting flash until the sound of thunder divided by five A mixture of ether, alcohol, cellulose, and camphor that dries to form a firm, protective layer The act of bending a joint and decreasing its angleStarting from anatomical position, the joint action that occurs around a transverse axis through a joint and causes limb movement in a sagittal plane away from anatomical position through the largest range of motion; the opposite of extension Combined foot movements of Plantarflexion, adduction, and eversion Combined foot movements of Dorsiflexion and inversion A push or pull Depressor action by the subscapularis, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles to stabilize the head of the humerus and to counteract the upward force exerted by the deltoid muscle during abduction of the armCoordination between dynamic and isometric contractions of opposing muscle groups to perform a movement of a jointTorque created by a pair of oppositely directed forces about an axis; expressed as units of force times units of length or as Newton-meters in SI; a vector quantity Inversion of the forefoot relative to the Rearfoot Drag force acting on an object within a fluid and caused by the impact forces of the fluid molecules with the object; also referred to as shape drag, profile drag, or pressure drag A depression on a bone A tool for analyzing forces and torques; a drawing of the analysis object with all external forces acting on the object represented as arrow showing their points of application and directions The number of cardinal planes in which a joint allows motion Measured in hertz (Hz), cycles per second (CPS), or pulses per second (PPS) Heat producingThe component of a contact force that acts parallel to the surfaces in contact; the magnitude of friction is the product of the coefficient of friction and the normal contact force (the component of the contact force acting perpendicular to the surfaces in contact) An imaginary plane running side to side and superior to inferior that divided the body into anterior and posterior parts; coronal plane; lateral plane Follicle-stimulating hormone A boil that is characterized by redness, leakage of pus, and necrosis of the involved tissue |
