1. Tendinitis
Tendin/ - refers to the tendon
/itis - means inflammation

Tendinitis is the inflammation of the tendon. It is usually caused by repetitive impact on the area that is affected and/or direct injury.

2. Osteoporosis
Oste/o/ - refers to bones
/porosis - means porous or a condition of pores.

Osteoporosis literally means porous bones. It is a disease where bones become fragile or weak because of the decreased bone density. It increases the risk of fracture.

3. Arthritis
Arthr(o)/ - refers to joints
-itis - means inflammation

Arthritis is the inflammation of a joint or joints. Joints affected develop stiffness, pain, redness, and warmth. It can be caused by infection, metabolic problems and or constitutional causes.

4. Osteocytes
Osteo/ - refers to the bone
cyte/s - Means cells.

Osteocytes are also known as bone cells. It is the type of cell that can be found in bones that are fully formed.

5. Costochondritis
Cost(o)/ - refers to the ribs.
chondr(o)/ - refers to cartilage
-itis - means inflammation

Costochondritis is the inflammation of the cartilage connected to the sternum and the ribs. It is also known as chest wall pain and the pain resembles the pain felt during a heart attack.

6. Lordosis
Lord(o)/ -means curve/swayback
-osis - pertains to an abnormal condition

Lordosis is also known as swayback. This occurs when the spine curve is too far inward in the lumbar spine.

7. Myocytes
Myo/ -refers to the muscles
cyte/s - means cells.

Myocytes are also known as muscle cells. They are the type of cells that make up tissues of the muscles. They are long and tubular in appearance.

8. Myelocyte
Myelo/ -refers to the bone marrow or the spinal cord.
/cyte - means cell.

Myelocytes are bone marrow cells. They are motile and produce blood granulocytes (these are a kind of white blood cells). They occur in the bone marrow.

9. Calcaneodynia
Calcane/o - refers to the heel bone
/dynia - pertains to pain

Calcaneodynia is a condition where there is pain when weight is put on the heel of the foot.

10. Metacarpectomy
Metacarp(o)/ - refers to bones in the hand (Metacarpals)
/ectomy - excision or removal.

Metacarpectomy is the surgical excision of one or more metacarpals.

Athin plate moves between two parallel, horizontal, stationary flat surfaces at a constant velocity of v = 7.5 m/s. the two stationary surfaces are spaced 4 cm apart, and the medium between them is filled with oil whose viscosity is 0.9 n·s/m2. the part of the plate immersed in oil at any given time is 2 m long and 0.5 m wide. if the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, determine the force required to maintain this motion. what would your response be if the plate was 1 cm from the bottom surface (h2) and 3 cm from the top surface (h1)? if the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, the force required to maintain the motion will be n. if the plate was 1 cm from the bottom surface (h2) and 3 cm from the top (h1) surface, the force required to maintain the motion would be n.
