Muscles 2 Flashcards
what are tendons
fibrous bands of dense connective tissue that connect muscle to bone or cartilage
how are tendons supplied
by sensory fibers extending from muscle nerves
what are ligaments
fibrous bands that connect bone to bone or cartilage. serve as folds of the peritoneum serving to support visceral structures
what is raphe
it is the line of union of symmetrical structures by a fibrous or tendinous band
what are examples of Raphe
pterygomandibular, pharyngeal and scrotal raphes
What are aponeuroses
flat fibrous sheets and expanded broad tendons that attach to muscle
What is the function aponeuroses
they serve as the means of origin or insertion of a flat muscle
What Retinaculum
is a fibrous band that holds a structure in place in the region of joints
what is Bursae
It is a Flattened sacs of synovial member that contains a viscid fluid for moistening the bursa wall
What is the function of Bursae
helps to facilitate the movement by minimizing friction
What are Synovial tendon sheaths
tubular sacs from with synovial fluid that wrap around the tendons
where do synovial tendons sheath occur
where tendons pass under ligaments or retinacula and through ossefibrous tunnels, thus facilitating movement by reducing friction
what is the function of synovial tendons sheaths
they respond to infection by forming more fluid and by proliferating more cells that causes adhesion and restriction of the movement of the tendon
what is the Fascia
it is a fibrous sheet that envelops that body under the skin and invests the muscles and may limit the spread of pus and fluids such as urine and blood
what are the 2 types of Fascia
Superficial and Deep
