Support and distribute body weight from the talus through the foot

A weakened muscle is present in many chronic shoulder problems, particularly among throwers.

Supraspinatus

True or false? During the acute inflammatory phase, heparin is released into the injured area, acting as an anticoagulant that results in increased swelling.

__________ is a condition that,involves degeneration of the epiphyseal end plates of the vertebral bodies and typically included at least three adjacent motion segments.

Scheuermann's disease

Because the medial and lateral condyles of the femur differ somewhat in size, shape, and orientation, the tibia rotates laterally on the femur during the last few degrees of extension. This action is known as.
