Spondylolisthesis - defined by a slipped vertebra spondylos "a vertebra," and in plural "the backbone," From the gk: “olisthánein" = to slip Spondylosis - involves the separation of the pars interarticularis “Osis” - breakdown of Athero + scler + osis "Athero" = groats "Scler" = hardening "Osis" = diseased condition of "Arterio" + "scler" + "osis" "Arterio" = windpipe "Scler" = hardening "Osis" = diseased condition of/ breakdown of Arteriosclerosis is a disease that blocks the wall of arteries due to aging. Whereas atherosclerosis is a medical disorder that damages the lumen of the arteries by plaque deposits. Atherosclerosis is mostly a failure of controlled cholesterol and fat levels in the body. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, in which the tissues in the joint break down over time "Osteo" = bone "Arthro" = joint "Itis" = inflammation Osteopenia is decreased bone mass "osteo" =bone "penia" =poverty Osteoporosis "osteo" =bone "poro" =porous/pores "Osis" = breakdown Osteomalacia "osteo" = Bone Malakos = soft (mal=bad) Osteo + myl +itis = An infection of the bone Bone + muscle/marrow + inflammation
