Free Online Medical Transcription Course

We are learning lucrative American medical transcription course freely here in this blog.  We have crossed three systems yet and we are also going to learn all the other six systems of medical terminologies, anatomy, and physiology, and disease conditions, symptoms and signs one by one later from today onwards.  This post explains about musculoskeletal system vocabularies in one or two line format explanation, no way, this subject should be taught in this way only.  You may use any medical dictionary available online for free or any other good one to know more about these explanations in it. 1.  Fontanelle:  This is a soft spot present between the cranial or skull bones of an infant.  This soft spot is due to incomplete formation of bones in the cranium. 2.  Fissure:  This is an opening between bones.  This opening is a narrow opening. 3.  Facial bones:  These are the bones of the face.  The names of the facial bones ...

Now we will see about important musculoskeletal system vocabularies: 1.  Acromion – This is the outward extension of the shoulder bone.  Acromion creates the shoulder tip. 2.  Calcium – The important and major mineral element of the bones. 3.  Cranial bones – The another name for cranial bones are skull bones.  Temporal bone, sphenoid bone, parietal bone, occipital bone, frontal bone, and ethmoid bone are the names of the skull bones. 4.  Articular cartilage – These are the ends of long bones made up of a thin layer of cartilage. 5.  Cancellous bone – This is a porous and trabecular tissue of bones. Cancellous bone is spongy in structure. 6.  Cartilage tissue – This is a flexible and chewy connective tissue.  Cartilage tissue is found on joint surfaces.  This is also found in the embryonic skeleton. 7.  Condyle – This is a knuckle like process.  This structure is present at the end of a bone near t...

Bones of the Leg and Foot: 1.  Femur or thigh bone.  Femur is the longest bone in the human body.  This bone has a round-shaped head like structure at its proximal.  This head called femoral head mounts into a socket like depression in the hip bone called acetabulum. The acetabulum was termed for the reason that of its likeness to a rounded cup. 2.  Kneecap or patella.  This bone is a flat in size and small in structure.  Patella is positioned in face of the articulation sandwiched between the femur or thigh bone and one of the lower leg bones called the tibia.  Patella is enclosed or bounded by shielding tendons and seized in position by muscle attachments. 3.  Tibia or shin bone.  Tibia means a music instrument called flute, as this bone resembles that.  Tibia are the largest bones in the legs.  Each tibial bone is present under the skin.  Tibial bones are in front of the leg.  Each tibia joins with th...

Hand or Arm Bones and Pelvic Bones: Hand bones are of six types.  They are as follows: 1.  Humerus. 2.  Ulna 3.  Radius. 4.  Carpals. 5.  Metacarpals. 6.  Phalanges. Now we will see in detail about these arm bones one by one.  1.  Humerus:  The another name of this hand bone is upper arm bone.  This region is the large and rounded head part of the upper arm.  Upper arm bone attaches with the collar bone and the shoulder bone. 2.  Ulna:  The other name of the ulna is medial inferior or lower arm bone.  Elbow bone is the he proximal development of the ulna.  This bone is known as olecranon. 3.  Radius:  This bone is the inferior lateral arm bone. 4.  Carpals:  These bones are wrist bones.  Each wrist consists of four carpal bones in two rows. 5.  Metacarpals:  These bones spread out to the each finger from the carpals. Metacarpals are 5 in number in ea...
