Yes, there is a tendon in the hand called the extensor tendon that runs along the back of the fingers and can be seen or felt crossing over the knuckles when the fingers are extended. These tendons help in extending the fingers and are an essential part of hand movement.

What is a fluid-filled cavity a tendon slides over?

A tendon sheath is a fluid-filled cavity that surrounds a tendon to reduce friction and allow smooth movement. It is lined with synovial cells that secrete a lubricating fluid called synovial fluid.

When do sister chromatids cross over?

Sister chromatids do not cross over. Cross over occurs between homologous chromosomes during meiosis I, where genetic material is exchanged between non-sister chromatids, leading to genetic variation in the offspring.


How can you break a knuckle?

Have it x-rayed to make sure it does not heal improperly or all screwed up. Keep it straight and in a splint to avoid more damage and to heal. It will throb and hurt (like you hit your funny bone and shooting pain in the bone marrow) on and off so take "over the counter" pain medicine like Ibprophen, Tylenol ect... Ice it until the swelling goes down. Good luck... it totally sucks to break a knuckle or finger.


What does tendonitis effect?

Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons. Tendonitis most commonly occurs with repetitive motion or strain on a specific tendon. For example: Tennis Elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, occurs more commonly in Tennis players because of the repetitive movement and strain on the lateral tendon over the bony prominence called the lateral epicondyle. As the tendon, which controls the extensor muscles of the forearm and wrist, moves over the bony prominence, irritation develops as the synovial sheath surrounding the tendon wears away resulting in tenosynovitis, as the wearing continues, the tendon itself becomes irritated and micro tears occur in the fibrous tendon resulting in inflammation of the tendon which is called tendonitis. It is difficult to differentiate between tenosynovitis and tendonitis, thus inflammation of the tendon at any stage is usually referred to as tendonitis. Bursitis can be commonly mistaken for tendonitis. Underneath the tendons is a fluid-filled sac called bursa, as the tendon rubs across the bursa, irritation and inflammation develop into bursitis. Bursitis is normally diagnosed by palpation of the bursa by pushing underneath the affected tendon. If the palpation causes pain, bursitis, if palpation of the tendon causes pain, tendonitis. Pain without stiffness or pain on stretching is normally associated with bursitis also.

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.

How do you measure your ring size finger without a measuring device?

Take a piece of string. Wrap it around your finger, being sure that it neither too tight to bind and that you can slide it over your knuckle without difficulty, nor so loose that it will slip over your knuckle almost by itself and thus easily fall off. when you have found this comfort zone, mark the string where the ends cross and then measure the length of this piece in mm. An on-line reference or a jeweler can then tell you what ring size this measurement corresponds to.

Can you have problems with your Peroneal tendon as a result or secondary of An Achilles tendon rupture?

Absolutely, the Achilles is only the main injury or the most serious injury, but you also got lots of other tendon and muscle tears and pulls all over the foot and ankle area when your Achilles went out. If the Achilles is damaged, it will probably swell at times and that is bound to cause discomfort to the area including the peroneal tendon.
