  4. 11. Caused by friction: clear fluid called plasma (not pus) forms between the layers of skin
  5. 12. Also known as flat feet
  6. 14. Thick white band of fibrous tissue originating from the calcaneus and ending at the distal heads of the metatarsals
  7. 17. Caused by an overload of physical activity causing tension on plantar fascia causing inflammation
