3.-clasis = surgical breaking 破坏、折断
骨骼系统中的词汇
1.Diaphysis = the long shaft of a long bone 骨干
2.Epiphysis = the ends of a long bone 骨骺
3.Process = a normal projection on the surface of a bone that serves as an attachment point for muscles and tendons 凸起、突起
4.Periosteum = the fibrous out-er covering of the bone 骨膜
5.Compact bone = dense/hard outer tissue of a bone 密质骨(密质骨在骨膜之下)
6.Medullary cavity = (which is surrounded by the compact bone) 髓腔
7.Yellow bone marrow = within the medullary cavity and it functions as a fat storage area 黄骨髓
8.Spongy bone = lighter bone t-issue in the ends of a long bone 松质骨

11.Radius = the smaller and shorter bone in the forearm/ connects to the carpals(wrist) on the thumb side 桡骨
12.Ulna = larger and longer bone in the forearm/ connects to the humerus on the elbow side and t-he carpalson the pinky side 尺骨
Pathologies
1.ankylosis vs. arthrosclerosis
①Ankylosis/???k?'los?s/ is the ab-normal stiffening and loss of mobility in the joint.
ankylosis = there is no mobility in the joint / it is a fusion(融合/胶着)
of the joint
→关节强硬/强直(关节不能动)
②Arthrosclerosis/?ɑ:θr?skl i?'r?usis/ is the hardening of a joint, usually associated with normal aging.
hardening→stiff→not move real easy but it moves
→关节硬化(关节可以动只是不易动)
2.spondylosis vs. ankylosing spon-dylitis vs. spondylolisthesis
①Spondylosis is any abnormal condition of the spinal column. (/?spɑndl?os?s/ ) Spondylosis = spondyl/o + -osis Spondyl/o = spine -osis=abnormal condition →脊椎关节强硬
②Ankylosing spondylitis is a stiffening of the spine. (/?spɑnd?'la?t?s/ )
due to an inflammation and fusing of the vertebra.
Spondylitis = spondyl/o + -itis Spondyl/o = spine itis=inflammation This inflammation of the spine is severe enough that it is causing ankylosis ,there is a fusing of the vertebra so they can not move. That’s ankylosing spondylitis.
→强直性脊柱炎
③Spondylolisthesis /?spɑndlol?s?θis?s/
Spondylolisthesis = spondyl/o + -list-hesis, Spondyl/o = spine
-listhesis是一个新后缀,refers to a slipping forward.前移
Spondylolisthesis is a slipping forward of one of the lumber vertebra on top of the one below it.
→脊椎前移(椎间滑脱)
3.osteoporosis vs. osteopenia
①Osteoporosis is a loss of bone density and an increase in the porosity of bone that is associated with aging. (/?ɑst?op?'ros?s/ )
→骨质疏松症(多发于老年人)

:
A.Compression fracture
A Compression fracture is a fracture that occurs when bone is pressed together. And it also is used to refer to the spontaneous collapse of vertebra due to osteoporosis.
→受压骨折/压缩性骨折
注意:Compression fracture与stress fracture不同,stress fracture is usually caused by some extreme form of activity.
B. Colle’s fractur e
This is an unfortunate thing that can happen to older people. They might t-ake a fall. They reach their arm out to try to break their fall and because of weakening of the bones, a wrist will just snap.
→科利斯骨折/桡骨远端骨折
C. Osteoporotic hip fracture
It is a hip fracture that happens on fa-lling. And it happens because of the presence of
osteoporosis.
→髋部骨质疏松性骨折
②Osteopenia/??st???'pi?n??/
refers to thinner than average bone density in a young person. It is like preosteoporosis.
→骨质减少(多发于青年人)
4.kyphosis vs. lordosis vs. scoliosis
最后一组词汇与spinal curvatures(脊柱弯曲)相关
①Kyphosis is also know-n as a hump back. The thoracic vertebra are bowing backward and outward. So if the vertebra are curving b-ackwards creating a hump that is called kyphosis. (/ka?'fos?s/ )
→驼背/脊柱后凸
②Lordosis, also known as swayback, is when the lumbar vertebra, t-hat is the vertebra in the lower back, curve inward or forward anteriorly, which then causes the head or upper body to lean backwards.
→脊柱前弯症
③Scoliosis is the sideways curvature of the spine. This is commonly occurs in adolescents about the time they hit their growth spurt. (/?skol?'os?s/ )
→脊柱侧凸/弯
