What are the injuries found in a muscle strain?
A strain is a torn or stretched muscle or tendon.
What are a cows hamstring?
It's a tendon found on the hind quarters that controls the muscle movements of that hind quarter.
A bone imbedded in a tendon is called what bone?
A sesamoid bone. This type of bone is found embedded within a tendon or a muscle, typically where it passes over a joint, to protect the tendon from excessive wear and pressure. An example of a sesamoid bone is the patella, embedded within the patellar tendon.
What bursae are found where one tendon overlies another tendon?
what bursae is found when one tendon crosses another tendon
What nerve ending responds to cold?
It's the encapsulated endings- nerves that are found in the skin and joint capsules (end bulb of Krause, Ruffini corpuscles, Meissner's corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles); skeletal muscle (neuromuscular spindles); muscle-tendon junctions (Golgi tendon organ)
What is a Golgi tendon organ?
True
What type of muscle tissue found attached to bones?
Ligaments attach bone to bone (think patella to femur) and tendons attach muscles to bone (think Achilles tendon).
Is a tendon a organ?
The Golgi tendon organ is a receptor organ that gives the body information about the force that a muscle is developing as it contracts.The structure is also known as the Golgi organ, neurotendinous organ, or neurotendinous spindle.It is found at the junction of muscle fibers with a tendon. It consists of fibers of collagen, which are stretched by the movement of the muscle, and is supplied with a sensory nerve that carries impulses to the central nervous system. This information (feedback) is used in spinal reflexes and in co-ordination of movement by skeletal muscles.
Where is fibrous tissue found?
found in the tendon and ligaments
What is a Sesamoid?
A sesamoid is a small bone embedded within a tendon or muscle, typically found where tendons pass over joints. They help to reduce friction and provide leverage for muscles, aiding in movement. The patella (kneecap) is the largest sesamoid bone in the body.
What kind of joint is found in a skull or a pelvis?
tendon
Where are the three types of muscle tissue found?
Cardiac muscle - found only around heart, involuntary Smooth - found in hollow internal structures - stomach, blood vessels, intestines. Involuntary Skeletal - Attached to bones, voluntary
