- 3. Therapeutic use of cold.
- 5. Introduction of ions of soluble salt into the body through ultrasound.
- 6. Powerful inflammatory chemical that causes an increase in vascular permeability and vasodilation.
- 8. White blood cells
- 12. Agent that relieves or reduces fever.
- 13. Complete healing where dead cells and cellular debris are removed and the tissue is left functionally the same.
- 16. Abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial tissue between the skin and body cavities. Homeostasis of fluid mechanics is disturbed.
- 18. Indirect result of tissue trauma. Healthy tissues surrounding primary injury die due to aggressive eating of healthy tissue within area of original injury. Waste products also damage cell membranes of healthy cells causing cell death. (3 words)
- 20. Physical agents that help create an optimal healing environment.
- 21. Chemical released when cells are damaged that serves as a precursor to the formation of other inflammatory chemicals including leukotrienes and prostaglandins. (2 words)
- 22. Agent that relieves pain without causing a complete loss of sensation.
- 25. The major protein of connective tissue.
- 26. Wound or injury.
- 28. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
- 29. Using an electrical current to drive a chemical directly through the skin.
- 30. Cellular organelles that contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
- 31. Immature, fiber-producing cells of connective tissue that can mature into one of several different cell types.
Down
- 1. Red discoloration of the skin.
- 2. Part of the immune system. It is innate and complements the antibodies and cleaning cells to clear pathogens from damaged tissue.(2 words)
- 4. Cells that synthesize bone. Function in groups of connected cells.
- 7. Damaged tissue is replaced by some cells of the same type along with scar tissue, and it retains most of its original structure.
- 9. Indirect result of tissue trauma. Healthy tissues surrounding primary injury die due to lack of blood flow and lack of metabolic supplies. The energy needed exceeds that of the energy available.(3 words)
- 10. Process of programmed cell death. Biochemical events can lead to changes in cell characteristics thereby causing cell death.
- 11. Drugs designed to prevent swelling. Two basic categories are currently in use: steroidal and nonsteroidal.
- 14. Inflammatory chemical released when tissues are damaged; it results in increased pain in the area and may play a role in the production of other inflammatory chemicals such as prostaglandins.
- 15. Decrease in the diameter of a blood vessel resulting in a decreased blood flow.
- 17. The most common tissue in the body; includes ligaments, bones, retinaculum, joint capsules, cartilage, fascia, and tendons. (2 words)
- 19. Perhaps some of the most powerful chemicals produced in the body; related to the inflammatory process, they cause a variety of effects including vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, pain, fever, and clotting.
- 21. Formation of capillaries which interconnect, resulting in the formation of new vessels.
- 23. Destruction of injurious cells or particles by phagocytes (white blood cells).
- 24. Increase in the diameter of a blood vessel resulting in and increased blood flow.
- 27. Bone cells that remove bone tissue by breaking up the organic bone.
- 32. Original tissue is replaced by scar tissue and the structure and function are lost.
- 33. Therapeutic use of heat.
