Across
  1. 2. fracture A small, incomplete break in the bone that results from overuse, weakness, or biomechanical problems.
  2. 5. The space between adjacent neurons through which an impulse is transmitted.
  3. 11. Inflammation of the tendon (fibrous tissue connecting muscle to bone).
  4. 14. The process of putting broken bones back into proper alignment.
  5. 15. wound An injury caused by a sharp object that penetrates the skin.
  6. 16. The ability to return to original form after being compressed or stretched.
  7. 19. excitability The ability of nerves to carry impulses by creating electrical charges.
  8. 20. The formation caused by pooling of blood and fluid within a tissue space.
  9. 22. The process of bone formation.
  10. 24. An injury resulting from a fall, sudden twist, or blow to the body that forces a joint out of its normal position.
  11. 26. mover Muscle that provides movement in a single direction.
  12. 27. tone The state of partial contraction in which muscles are maintained.
  13. 29. fixation Surgical alignment of bones for the purpose of reduction.
  14. 31. The ability to respond to stimuli; also known as irritability.
  15. 32. The ability to lengthen and increase the distance between two parts.
  16. 33. unit A motor nerve plus all of the muscle fibers it stimulates.
  17. 34. contraction A contraction of muscle resulting in lengthening of the opposing muscle.
Down
  1. 1. Muscles that help steady a joint.
  2. 3. The part of the skeletal muscle that is attached to the movable part of a bone.
  3. 4. neuron A nerve that carries messages from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands; also known as a motor neuron.
  4. 6. A muscle injury caused by the twisting or pulling of a muscle or tendon.
  5. 7. An injury that results from a tear in the skin; also known as a cut.
  6. 8. fatigue The result of accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle.
  7. 9. An injury resulting from a direct blow or force that does not interrupt the skin; typically, bruising is seen at the injury site.
  8. 10. fracture A break in the bone that may be complete or incomplete, but does not break through the skin; also known as a closed fracture.
  9. 12. Bruising.
  10. 13. muscle The type of muscle, attached to a bone or bones of the skeleton, that aids in body movements; also known as voluntary or striated muscle.
  11. 17. Process that occurs when tissues are subjected to chemical or physical trauma; pain, heat, redness, and swelling occur.
  12. 18. fracture An incomplete break in the shaft of the bone; occurs in children.
  13. 21. The shaft of a long bone.
  14. 23. junction The point between the motor nerve axon and the muscle cell membrane.
  15. 25. The process of absorbing and replacing bone in the skeletal system.
  16. 28. The part of the skeletal muscle that is attached to the fixed part of a bone.
  17. 30. fixation The use of a cast to maintain proper alignment of bones for the purpose of reduction.
