MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM VOCABULARIES - 3 - LESSON 217

-
In this post we are going to learn about more important musculoskeletal system vocabularies.  You should try to use a medical dictionary to know more about each of these words using diagrams.  This will make your learning process better to create an inner picture of each of these terms inside you permanently.  This will give you more proficiency of medical terms and this will help you to transcribe easily when a dictator dictates these terms in his live file when you start transcription file for training or for job.  This is my own experience.  Please try it out.

 1.  Fossa:  Shallow hole or cavity like opening in a bone.
2.  Haversian canals:  Minute or tiny openings packed with blood vessels found in compact bone.
3.  Malleolus:  Ring-shaped processes on both faces of the ankle joint.
4.  Mastoid process:  Spherical and round-shaped protrusion or bulge on the temporal bone at the back of the ear.
5.  Medullary cavity:  Innermost, middle, burrowing area in the shaft or tunnel of a long bone.
6.  Olecranon:  Large process outwardly appearing on the elbow.
7.  Osseous tissue:  Bone tissue.
8.  Ossification:  Process of bone development.
9.  Osteoblast:  Bone cell that aids to develop bone tissue.
10.  Osteoclast:  Bone cell that takes up and takes away or removes unnecessary or surplus bone tissue.
11.  Periosteum:  Membrane nearby bones.
12.  Phosphorous:  Mineral material originates in bones in blend with calcium.
13.  Pubic symphysis:  Area of union or fusion of the two pubic bones.  Pubic symphyses are united by a piece of fibrocartilage.  Sym- means together –physis means to grow.
14.  Red bon marrow:  This is found in the cancellous bone at the site of hemopoiesis.
15.  Sinus:  A hollow cavity inside a bone.
16.  Styloid process:  Pole-like process on the temporal bone.
17.  Sulcus:  Groove-like depression.
18.  Trabeculae:  Holding up collection of bony fibers in cancellous bone.
19.  Trochanter:  Bulky process beneath the neck of the femur.
20.  Tubercle:  A small and rounded process of a bone.
21.  Tuberosity:  A huge and rounded process of a bone.
22.  Vertebra:  This is the back bone that is made up of vertebral body, vertebral arch, spinous process, transverse processes, lamina, and neural canal.

In the next post we will start to learn about important musculoskeletal system combining forms and suffixes.  Okay.

Come on.

Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions - Lesson 5

-
Abdominopelvic quadrants and regions are divided into 9 regions as per the division of the abdominal and pelvic cavities to explain the regions in which internal organs are found. They are as follows: Hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, inguinal, and hypogastric. Now we will see about all abdominopelvic quadrants and regions one by one now. 1. Hypochondriac regions (2): The two upper right and left regions below the cartilage (chondr/o) of the ribs that extend over the abdomen. 2. Epigastric regions (2): This is the region above the stomach. 3. Lumbar regions (2): The two right and left regions near the waist part of the body. 4. Umbilical regions (1): The region of the umbilicus or navel portion of the body. 5. Inguinal regions (2): The two lower right and left regions of the body, inguin/o means groin that is the area where the two legs join together with the trunk of the body. This region is also called iliac regions because they are near the ilium part

Body cells are different types. We often may read about stem cell types. Like in a movie there are many actors to do their different roles to establish a story, in our body there are different kinds of cells to do different roles to keep the body stable and active. The cells in our body are of two types: 1. Somatic cells. Our body contains Muscle cells, Nerve cells, Skin cells, and Fat cells. These kind of cells performing mainly body related functions and so they are called Somatic cells. There are varieties of cells inside the body. Every cell is different or specially created to do their special role inside the body throughout. Fat Cell: For example in body cells a FAT CELL has in it empty and large spaces for fat storage, and a muscle is slender and long and has in it fiber material that help in relaxing and contracting, as well as a skin cell is square in shape and also flat in structure to give protection to our body and a nerve cell which is long in struct
