What is the attachment site of the patellar tendon?
Patella is the sesamoid bone, which has developed in the patellar tendon. This tendon is attached to the tuberosity on the upper and anterior part of tibia bone.
When selecting an iv site you work distal to proximal?
distal
IV selection site?
Distal to Proximal
Is the collecting duct the site that drains the distal convoluted tubule?
No, the collecting duct is the site where the filtrate from multiple nephrons is collected and the final adjustments to urine concentration are made. The distal convoluted tubule drains into the collecting duct.
Which structure is the site of attachment for tendons?
Periosteum
Can a tight tendon snap?
Yes. And it can be very painful when it rips off its attachment site. Two common tendon strains occur at the Achilles tendon at the calcareous insertion, and also the quadriceps insertion on the tibial tuberosity.
What is an attachment site for the temporalis?
The proximal attachment is the temporal bone. The distal attachment is the manible. More specifically the corinoid process.
What is the definition of Achilles tendinitis?
If the achilles tendon is ruptured then it would need to be surgically repaired. Most achilles tendinitis treatment involves non-surgical methods. Achilles tendon rupture repair surgery can be successful, but achieving maximum results after a surgery like this is unlikely.
What is the attachment site of the patellar tendon?
Patella is the sesamoid bone, which has developed in the patellar tendon. This tendon is attached to the tuberosity on the upper and anterior part of tibia bone.
When selecting an iv site you work distal to proximal?
distal
IV selection site?
Distal to Proximal
What is the attachment site of enzymes called?
Active site.
What joint is formed by the humerus?
The distal (meaning furthest from the body) aspect of the humerus that forms the elbow is called the trochlea, which literally means pulley.The distal & medial aspect of the humerus in the region of the elbow is called the medial epicondyle, but this is more of a site for tendon attachment for flexor muscles. The medial epicondyle is not a part of the actual elbow joint.
Is the collecting duct the site that drains the distal convoluted tubule?
No, the collecting duct is the site where the filtrate from multiple nephrons is collected and the final adjustments to urine concentration are made. The distal convoluted tubule drains into the collecting duct.

What is the difference between kinetochore and centromere?
kinetochore is the site of attachment of spindlefibres. centromere is the center of attachment of the chromatids
The A site on a ribosome functions in?
