24
Q

a turning outward

25
a movement that reduces the angle between two articulating bones; the opposite of extension

extension past the anatomical position

29
localized masses of adipose tissue covered by a layer of synovial membrane
fat pads
30
the substance secreted by synovial membranes that lubricates joints

31
when a ligament is stretched to the point at which some of the collagen fibers are torn, but the ligament as a whole survives and the joint is not damaged
sprain
32
a partial dislocation
subluxation
33

a group of rheumatic diseases that affect synovial joints; always involves damage to the articular cartilages
