Muscles part 1

Specific care for patients with compromised mobility due to musculoskeletal issues includes:

• Regular repositioning to prevent pressure ulcers

• Encouraging complete bed rest at all times

• Limiting fluid intake to reduce swelling

• Avoiding the use of assistive devices

The distinctions between tendons and ligaments are:

• Tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to other bones.

• Tendons connect bones to bones, while ligaments connect muscles to bones.

• Tendons and ligaments both connect muscles to bones.

• Tendons and ligaments both connect bones to bones.

The following are the modes of joint movement:

• Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction

• Flexion, inversion, translation, oscillation

• Extension, contraction, vibration, rotation

• Abduction, reflection, torsion, translation

Connective tissue is:

• a type of tissue that supports, binds, or separates other tissues or organs

• a tissue that only covers the surface of the body

• a tissue responsible for transmitting nerve impulses
