A ligament is the fibrous material that connects two bones that are moved via skeletal muscles. They provide stability for the bones both during movement by the skeletal muscles and during rest. Ligaments are closely related to the muscular system. Joint functioning and range of motion is controll...
MusclesSummary 1. The muscle fibre is regarded as a bundle of myofibrils, embedded in a viscous matrix, the sarcoplasm, the whole being surrounded by a delicate sheath, the sarcolemma. 2. The sarcolemma is a thin, apparently structureless membrane. Preliminary study with the electron microscope ...
Study of a macerated bone can at most teach one the precise bony attachment of a muscle. It tells nothing of other non-osseous attachments, nothing of the form of the living muscle that gives shape to the limb, and nothing of the surface structure of the muscles, knowledge of which can ...

BACKGROUND: Ruptures of the tendons of the rotator cuff lead to profound and possibly irreversible changes in the structure and physiological properties of the rotator cuff muscles. Muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration are important prognostic factors that affect the natural history and outcome of tre...

Female COPD also showed higher signs of muscle damage than COPD men who, in contrast, exhibited slightly higher signs of regeneration. We conclude that sex influences muscle phenotype and function in COPD. 展开 关键词: Women, peripheral muscles, muscle dysfunction, muscle damage, COPD ...
