Musculoskeletal System

3. The production of red and white blood cells within the red bone marrow found in spongy bone
4. The ability of muscles to be stretched to their normal resting length, and to a limited degree, even beyond
6. The inflammation of bone marrow, bone tissue, and the periosteum
12. The ability of muscles to recoil to their original resting length if stretched
13. An inflammation of tendons
14. A chronic muscle pain syndrome that has no cure, and is not progressive or life threatening
15. cramps Uncomfortable and often painful sensations caused by contraction or over-shortening of the muscles
16. This muscle type is found in the heart
17. The softening of bones
20. The inflammation of the bursa
23. Thin filament responsible for contraction and relaxation
24. The inflammation of one or more joints

1. anesthetics Drugs that are administered for complex procedures where complete unconsciousness is required
2. The capacity of muscle to contract or shorten forcefully
5. Term for osteomalacia in children and is reversible with treatment
7. Muscle readiness to respond to a stimulus
8. This type of bone is mainly found in the face and vertebra
9. An injury or tear to a ligament that gradually heals
10. Cords of dense connective tissue that attach skeletal muscles to bone
11. blockers Drugs that block the neuromuscular cascade that cause muscular contraction
17. Characterized by a loss of bone tissue resulting in brittle bones that are prone to fracture
18. Produce new bone matrix and new bone cells
19. Thick filament responsible for contraction
21. An injury to a muscle in which the muscle fibers tear as a result of overstretching
22. Characterized by hyperuricemia and urate deposits, most common in males
