muscular system

• Atonia


  a loss of muscle tone, meaning that we are essentially paralyzed during this phase
• Dystonia


  a movement disorder in which a person's muscles contract uncontrollably.
• twist involuntarily


  In Dystonia, the uncontrollable contraction causes the affected body part to _____________, resulting in repetitive movements or abnormal postures
• Tourette


  abnormality wherein patient has tics
• tics


  involuntary jerking or twitching of muscle
• Muscle Atrophy


  when muscles waste away.
• Muscle Atrophy

  It's usually caused by a lack of physical activity. When a disease or injury makes it difficult or impossible for you to move an arm or leg, the lack of mobility
• PARKINSON'S DISEASE


  Muscle Atrophy can occur in this type of disease
• Muscular Dystrophy

  a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass
• proteins


  In Muscular Dystrophy, abnormal genes (mutations) interfere with

  the production of __________ needed to form healthy

  muscle.
• Muscular Dystrophy

  
• Myalgia


  describes muscle aches and pain, which can involve ligaments, tendons and fascia, the soft tissues that connect muscles, bones and organs
• Myasthenia Gravis


  a chronic autoimmune,

  neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles that worsens after periods of

  activity and improves after periods of rest.
• Myasthenia Gravis


  it is a muscular disorder that is also under the nervous system (brain and spinal cord);

  symptoms:

  difficulty to swallow, breath normally, move arms and legs
• Myasthenia Gravis

  
• Myoclonus

  a symptom and not a diagnosis of a disease.
• Myoclonus


  It refers to sudden, involuntary jerking of a muscle or group of muscles.
• sleep myoclonus


  Twitching of musclesduring sleep

  EX: baby not paralyzed during REM, looks like seizure but not b/c baby asleep
• Myodiastasis


  separation of a muscle.
• Myodiastasis


  pregnant women are mostly affected in this muscular disorder
• Myosarcoma


  categorized as one of the four major types of cancer and is defined as a sarcoma or cancer of the muscle tissue
• Myosarcoma


  it is a malignant tumor of muscle cells or skeletal muscles derived from myogenic cells (immature cells).
• Myositis


  Weakness, swelling, and pain are the most

  common symptoms.
• Paralysis


  loss of muscle function in part of your body. It happens when something goes wrong with the way messages pass between your brain and muscles
• Myositis

  inflammation of muscle
• Polymyositis


  one of the inflammatory myopathies, a group of muscle diseases that involves inflammation of the muscles or associated tissues, such as the blood vessels that supply the muscles.
• Polymyositis


  group of inflamed muscles
• Tendinitis/ Tendonitis


  an inflammation or irritation of a tendon
• Tremor


  an unintentional and uncontrollable rhythmic movement of one part or one limb of your body.
• tremor


  A _______ can occur in any part of the body and at any time
• ELECTROMYOGRAPHY

  MUSCLE BIOPSY


  DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES FOR MUSCULAR SYSTEM
• ELECTROMYOGRAPHY

  measures the muscle response or electrical activity in response to nerve stimulation
• MUSCLE BIOPSY


  removal of a small part of muscle for examination
• FASCIOTOMY

  MYORRHAPY

  MYOTOMY

  TENDOLYSIS

  TENDOPLASTY

  THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES FOR MUSCULAR SYSTEM
• FASCIOTOMY


  a surgical incision through the fascia to relieve tension or pressure
• FASCIOTOMY

  a procedure done for decompress acute compartment syndrome
• decompress acute compartment syndrome


  increase of pressure inside the muscles wherein you experience cramps due to an accident
• MYORRHAPY


  suture of a muscle due to torn muscle
• MYOTOMY

  surgical incision into a muscle
• POEM PROCEDURE- (perioral endoscopic myotomy)


  done when pt has ACHALASIA (esophageal muscle cannot propel the food down to the stomach, LES is nakasara)
