A symptom is a physical or mental feature that indicates the presence of a disease or health condition. Symptoms can vary widely depending on the specific condition but often include things like pain, fatigue, fever, coughing, and changes in mood or behavior.

What is an "elbow"?

An elbow is a pivotal joint connecting the upper arm to the forearm, allowing for essential movements and actions. It functions as a hinge joint, enabling flexion and extension, as well as a pivot joint, facilitating rotation of the forearm. The elbow joint consists of bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles, working together to provide stability and mobility. It plays a crucial role in activities such as bending the arm, lifting objects, and performing various tasks that require forearm movement.

What are "chopstick"?

Chopsticks are slender, elongated utensils traditionally used for eating in many Asian cultures, particularly in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Typically made of wood, bamboo, metal, or plastic, chopsticks consist of two tapered sticks of equal length that are held in one hand and used to pick up and manipulate food. Chopsticks are essential tools in Asian cuisine, allowing for precise and delicate handling of various types of food, including rice, noodles, vegetables, and meats. They are often paired with a small ceramic rest to prevent them from touching the table surface when not in use. Chopsticks come in various lengths and designs, with different levels of tapering and surface textures to accommodate different preferences and dining customs.
