This diagram labels the four main leg bones. Anatomy and Function of the Upper Leg The femur bone, often referred to as the thigh bone, is in the upper leg. It is the longest, heaviest bone in the body and very strong. In adults, the femur is approximately 48 cm or 19 inches in ...
The condyles of the femur and of the tibia come in close proximity to form the main structure of the joint. The patella, commonly known as the ‘kneecap’, is a sesamoid bone that sits within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris. It serves a protective function for the knee and ...

6D). On the other hand, the pathway signature at 90 min post-exercise (time 90) seems to shift towards bone, muscle and extracellular matrix remodeling, assembly of elastic and collagen fibers, and signaling pathways connected to cell migration and morphogenesis (Fig. 6E). Figure 6 Initial ...
break - breaking of hard tissue such as bone; "it was a nasty fracture"; "the break seems to have been caused by a fall" fracture harm, hurt, injury, trauma - any physical damage to the body caused by violence or accident or fracture etc. comminuted fracture - fracture in which the ...
Fig. 1. (a) Bone geometric modeling from CT scanning, (b) muscle geometry extraction from MRI images, and (c) main composition of the CLLM with detailed tibia and lower leg muscle modeling. The ankle joint is a precise and complicated hinge structure, which is significant to the kinematics...
human skeletonA diagram of the human skeleton showing bone and cartilage. Protection of theheart,lungs, and other organs and structures in the chest creates a problem somewhat different from that of the central nervous system. These organs, the function of which involves motion, expansion, and co...
Due to the rotation, the patella, tibia, basal bone, femur end and paw are driven to achieve vertical contraction and complete the leg lift action. Thus, the rotation of the tibia, basal femur, and distal femur allows for the spider to achieve a leg-bending motion. At the same time, ...
First, the muscle tissues were separated from the skin and bone and then homogenized in a petri dish. To release single cells, the suspension was digested with pancreatin for 20 min at 37 °C. After neutralization with a complete medium, single cells were collected via centrifugation at 500×...
