Space Between Front Teeth After a minor surgical procedure (frenectomy) relocates the frenum away from the teeth preventing the space from reopening. You have what is called a large frenum (pronounced “free – num”, or frenulum (fren-u-lum). This is a fold of tissue that connects the gum to the lip and sometimes contains muscle tissue. If it is unusually large it may connect through to the gum tissue between the teeth and extend to the anterior (front) portion of the roof of your mouth, or palate.

Definitions &Translations A tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments and fasciae as they are all made of collagen except that ligaments join one bone to another bone, and fasciae connect muscles to other muscles.

Achilles Tendon The Achilles tendon is the large tendon that joins the calf muscle to the heel bone (calcaneum). The calf muscle is extremely strong and is responsible for spring and push off during walking and running. It is named after the mythical Greek warrior Achilles who, as a child, was dipped into the river Styx by his mother.

Difference Between Ligaments and Tendons One of the best examples of a tendon is the Achilles tendon. This type of tendon connects the calf muscle to the heel. Ligaments can be majorly classified into three classifications, namely; peritoneal ligaments, articular ligaments, and fetal remnant ligaments.

Tendonitis Tendons are tough, flexible, fibrous bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. When tendons become inflamed, irritated or suffer microscopic tears, the condition is called tendonitis. Tendons can be small, like the delicate, tiny bands in the hands, or large, like the heavy, ropelike cords that anchor the calf or thigh muscles. In most cases, the cause of tendonitis is unknown; when a cause can be identified, the condition usually happens for one of two reasons:

CHAPTER 4 TENDONS, SKELETAL MUSCLES, AND LIGAMENTS IN HEALTH AND DISEASE The inner layer, the visceral layer, is closely attached to the tendon by areolar tissue. The outer layer, the parietal layer, is attached to adjacent connective tissue or periosteum. Because of this method of formation, the inner and outer layers are usually connected by an elongated mesentery, the mesotendon.ursae are usually flattened sacs of synovial membrane supported by dense irregular connective tissue. The apposed walls are separated only by a film of synovial fluid and are attached to structures that move in relation to one another, that is, periosteum, tendon, muscle, ligament.

Foot and Ankle Conditions What Is the Achilles Tendon? The Achilles tendon is a band of tissue that connects a muscle to a bone. It runs down the back of the lower leg and connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. Also called the heel cord, the Achilles tendon facilitates walking by helping to raise the heel off the ground.

- Connective tissue is associated with a tendon in the form of a sheath on its surface, called epitenon. This areolar tissue is continuous with the endotenon, a loose connective tissue that permeates the substance of the tendon, separating the fascicles and providing a route for vessels and nerves.

Tendon: Structures That Connect Muscle to Bone A tendon is a tough yet flexible band of fibrous tissue. The tendon is the structure in your body that connects a muscle to a bone. Tendons are very organized, as the image shows. The body creates very tightly wound fibers of collagen that are flexible but very strong. The strength of tendons is important as these tight structures are required to resist the forces of very heavy loads.

- Tendons like the Achilles tendon have what is known as a tendon organ. This is a proprioceptor located in the area where a tendon and muscle connect that helps to detect the tension being applied to a muscle. We sometimes call tendon organs Golgi tendon organs or Golgi organs for short. Do not, however, confuse the Golgi tendon organs with the Golgi apparatus found inside of your cells. The Golgi organ relays tendon changes to the brain. Once Achilles' heel was pierced by the arrow, the Golgi organ in the Achilles tendon and the muscles connecting to it would have sent signals up to the central nervous system to relay the position of Achilles' damaged muscles and leg.

Calcaneal (Achilles) Tendon Home > Muscular System > Muscles of the Leg and Foot > Calcaneal (Achilles) Tendon. The calcaneal (or Achilles) tendon is the thickest and strongest in the human body and is about 15 cm in length. This tendon connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. It puts a spring in the step and helps one to stand on tiptoe.

- A tendon is a band of connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. The tendons and muscles work together to control joint movement. When a muscle contracts, it pulls on the tendon, which then pulls the bone to cause movement.he other end the tendon connects to bone. Contraction of the muscle pulls on the tendon, causing the tendon to pull the bone. In this way, tendons play an important role in muscle control of the body. Tendons are made of parallel collagen fibers running the length of the tendon.

- Taste buds are collections of nerve-like cells that connect to nerves running into the brain. The tongue is anchored to the mouth by webs of tough tissue and mucosa. The tether holding down the front of the tongue is called the frenum. In the back of the mouth, the tongue is anchored into the hyoid bone. The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech.

What is the area between your nose and your lip called? Report Abuse. The area between the two ridges is called the philtrum. A piercing here is called a Medusa. If you would like one side-either the right or left side-of the ridges pierced, that is called a Monroe.Getting both sides pierced is called Angelbites.est Answer: There is no special word for that place, it's just called your 'upper lip'. What you want is called a Monroe piercing, also sometimes called a Madonna or Joan Crawford. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_pier...

Glossary of Foot & Ankle Terms Glossary of Foot & Ankle Terms. Achilles tendon - The Achilles tendon connects the three strongest flexor muscles of the leg to the foot. It is a tendon that connects the two heads of the gastrocnemius muscle and the deeper soleus muscle to the calcaneus, or heel bone. The Achilles can be felt in the back of the ankle and is just under the skin.

Both have some elasticity and do not heal on their own if torn. An inflamed tendon is called tendonitis and is caused by overstretching the tendon.
