HCB Test 7 Exam questions and
answers update
atrophy - ANSWERSdecrease in size or wasting away of a body part or tissue
comminuted fracture - ANSWERSa fracture in which the bone is broken is several
places
dislocation - ANSWERSthe disrupting or "coming apart" of a body part (joint) from its
normal position
gout - ANSWERSa form of arthritis, is a disorder of purine metabolism that results from
an elevated serum uric acid level
paralysis - ANSWERSloss of muscle function through injury, disease, or damage to its
nerve supply. Most paralysis is due to stroke or spinal cord injury
range of motion (ROM) - ANSWERSextent of movement of a joint, measured in
degrees of a circle
sprain - ANSWERSthe stretching or tearing of ligaments that causes pain and disability
strain - ANSWERSmuscle or tendon injury resulting from violent contraction or
excessive force
- voluntary
- involuntary

voluntary muscle - ANSWERSknown as skeletal muscle, is under conscious control of
the brain via the nervous system
