Question

matching: match the term in column i with its description in column ii. (note: not all descriptions will be used.)
column i column ii

1. abduction a. spasmodic contractions of the diaphragm
2. adduction b. excessive stress on a skeletal muscle
3. anchor c. a doughnut - shaped muscle
4. atrophy d. a progressive wasting of muscle tissue from lack of use
5. contracture e. a tough membrane sheath attachment
6. dystrophy f. to move an extremity away from the body’s center
7. fascia g. the origin of a muscle
8. hiccough h. permanent shortening of flexor muscles with bent joints
9. spasm i. congenital progressive skeletal muscle wasting
10. strain j. a state of partial muscle contraction

k. to move an extremity toward the body’s center
l. a painful contracted muscle that will not relax

Explanation:

1. Abduction: The term "Abduction" in anatomy refers to moving an extremity away from the body's center, so it matches F.
2. Adduction: "Adduction" is the opposite of abduction, meaning moving an extremity toward the body's center, so it matches K.
3. Anchor: In muscle terminology, the anchor (origin) of a muscle is described by G.
4. Atrophy: Atrophy is the progressive wasting of muscle tissue due to lack of use, so it matches D.
5. Contracture: Contracture is the permanent shortening of flexor muscles with bent joints, so it matches H.
6. Dystrophy: Dystrophy (muscular dystrophy) is congenital progressive skeletal muscle wasting, so it matches I.
7. Fascia: Fascia is a tough membrane sheath attachment, so it matches E.
8. Hiccough: Hiccoughs are spasmodic contractions of the diaphragm, so it matches A.
9. Spasm: A spasm is a painful contracted muscle that will not relax, so it matches L.
10. Strain: A strain is excessive stress on a skeletal muscle, so it matches B.

Answer:

1. F. To move an extremity away from the body’s center
2. K. To move an extremity toward the body’s center
3. G. The origin of a muscle
4. D. A progressive wasting of muscle tissue from lack of use
5. H. Permanent shortening of flexor muscles with bent joints
6. I. Congenital progressive skeletal muscle wasting
7. E. A tough membrane sheath attachment
8. A. Spasmodic contractions of the diaphragm
9. L. A painful contracted muscle that will not relax
10. B. Excessive stress on a skeletal muscle
