Activity & Mobility

4. Completely immovable joint, such as the cranium
8. An autoimmune disease where the reaction occurs primarily in synovial tissue; a type of arthritis.
9. Bone destroying cells
11. A degenerative joint disease affecting the articular cartilage, subchondral bone, and synovium.
13. Bone cells
14. This type of pillow may be used after a total hip replacement to prevent dislocation of the prosthesis
16. Occurs when fat globules are released from yellow bone marrow 12-48 hours after injury, clogging vessels and impairing perfusion to that area; most common are the lungs (3 letters)
17. An increase in the lumbar curvature of the spine
18. An autoimmune disease that is a result of disturbed immune regulation that causes an exaggerated production of autoantibodies; causes characteristic butterfly rash (3 letters)
19. A lateral curving of the spine

1. The application of a pulling force to a part of the body
2. Work together to allow the body to perform gross, simple, and complex movements. Cover and attach to bones.
3. An increase in the convex curvature of the spine
5. Slightly movable joint, such as the pelvis
6. A heterogeneous group of conditions related to a genetic defect of purine metabolism that results in hyperuricemia.
7. Characterized by reduced bone mass, deterioration of the bone matrix, and diminished bone architectural strength; the most prevalent bone disease in the world.
10. A syndrome that occurs when there is increased tissue pressure within a limited space that compromised with circulation and the function of the tissue within the confined area; a fasciotomy is one intervention.
11. Bone forming cells
12. Freely movable joint, such as the elbow & knee
15. Small sacs of synovial fluid that cushions joints and protects bony prominences that are at risk for friction.
