The Skeletal System
ankyl/o (crooked, bent, stiff)
Ankylosing Apondylitis (a form of spinal arthritis, chiefly affecting young males, that eventually causes ankylosis of vertebral and sacro-iliac joints)
-
arthr/o (joint)
-
Arthrolysis (restoration of mobility in stiff and ankylosed joints through the process of disrupting intraarticular and extra-articular adhesions.)
chondr/i, chondr/o (cartilage)
Chondroma (cartilaginous tumor, which is encapsulated with a lobular growing pattern)
Chondromalacia (condition where the cartilage on the undersurface of the patella (kneecap) deteriorates and softens)
cost/o (rib)
Costochondritis (an acute and often temporary inflammation of the costal cartilage, the structure that connects each rib to the sternum at the costosternal joint. The condition is a common cause of chest pain.)
Costochondral calcification (With ageing the cartilage is increasingly calcified and can be particularly marked in some individuals)
crani/o (skull)
-
Craniosynostosis (is a condition in which one or more of the fibrous sutures in an infant (very young) skull prematurely fuses by turning into bone (ossification), thereby changing the growth pattern of the skull.)
kyph/o (bent, hump)
Kyphosis (excessive outward curvature of the spine, causing hunching of the back.)
Kyphoscoliosis (A combination of outward curvature (kyphosis) and lateral curvature (scoliosis) of the spine)
lord/o (curve, swayback, bent)
-
-
-
myel/o (spinal cord, bone marrow)
-
-
oss/e, oss/i, ost/o, oste/o (bone)
-
-
-
spondyl/o (vertebrae, vertebral column, backbone)
-
Spondylosis (a painful condition of the spine resulting from the degeneration of the intervertebral disks)
synovi/o, synov/o ( synovial membrane, synovial fluid)
Synovectomy (surgery done to remove inflamed synovial tissue that is the source of much pain and limited mobility)
Synovium (specialized connective tissue that lines the inner surface of capsules of synovial joints and tendon sheath)
-
-desis (to bind, tie together)
