- Knee MRI, sagittal plane. Tha plane of imaging is just medial to the knee midline. The course of the posterior cruciate ligament is well seen, from the lateral surface of the medial femoral condyle to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia. Note the stripe of high intensity signal between the quadriceps femoris tendon and the distal femur.

What is Cartilage? - Definition, Types & Function Fibrocartilage. Fibrocartilage is the cartilage with the fewest number of chondrocytes, which means it bends the least. This is the type of cartilage found in your knee, as well as in between the vertebrae in your spine. Note how many chondrocytes are on this slide-only three!This makes sense, right? You want something like your nose or ear that can be damaged easily to be 'bendy,' so they don't break.his is the type of cartilage found in your knee, as well as in between the vertebrae in your spine.

Knee Cartilage is a thin, elastic tissue that protects the bone and makes certain that the joint surfaces can slide easily over each other. Cartilage ensures supple knee movement. There are two types of joint cartilage in the knees: fibrous cartilage (the meniscus) and hyaline cartilage.Fibrous cartilage has tensile strength and can resist pressure. Hyaline cartilage covers the surface along which the joints move.artilage is a thin, elastic tissue that protects the bone and makes certain that the joint surfaces can slide easily over each other.

Knee Dislocation A knee dislocation occurs when the bones that form your knee are out of place. The bones of your calf (the tibia and fibula) get moved in relation to the bone of your thigh (femur).The bones of your knee are held together by strong bands of tissue, called ligaments.ith a knee dislocation, You'll feel a lot of pain in the knee. Sometimes, there will be no feeling below the knee. If the knee relocates, it will become swollen. You may not be able to feel a pulse (your heartbeat) in your foot.

Knee Ligament Repair There are 4 major ligaments in the knee. The ligaments in the knee connect the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shin bone), and include the following: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ligament, located in the center of the knee, that controls rotation and forward movement of the tibia (shin bone). Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).

Anatomy Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the knee. It is a degenerative,wear-and-tear type of arthritis that occurs most often in people 50 years of age and older, but may occur in younger people, too. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away. As the cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and rough, and the protective space between the bones decreases. This can result in bone rubbing on bone, and produce painful bone spurs.

What is Knee Pain? (patellofemoral pain syndrome) Patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as Runners Knee, is a degenerative cartilage condition wherein the cartilage on the back of the patella (knee cap) is irritated and painful because it rubs against the bone of the upper leg.

Anatomy In the knee joint there is a layer of smooth cartilage on the lower end of the femur (thighbone), the upper end of the tibia (shinbone) and the undersurface of the patella (kneecap). This cartilage serves as a cushion and allows for smooth motion of the knee. Arthritis is a wearing away of this smooth cartilage.

Knee Ligaments Knee Ligaments. The knee ligaments can be split into two pairs, the collateral ligaments (around the sides of the joint) and the cruciate ligaments (inside the joint). Ligaments are thick fibrous bands like ropes and their job is to provide stability by holding bones together.

Types of Knee Sprains, Strains & Tears A knee tear is an injury to one of the ligaments or layers of cartilage that supports and stabilizes the knee. A knee tear may be partial, in which some of the structure is damaged, or complete, in which a ligament or meniscus is torn in two or separates from the bone.

Torn Knee Ligament in Dogs Cranial Cruciate Ligament and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Disease in Dogs. The stifle joint is the joint between the thigh bone (the femur) and the two lower leg bones (tibia and fibula). It is the quadruped equivalent of the knee in bipeds (i.e., humans). A ligament is a band of connective or fibrous tissue that connects two bones, or cartilage, at a joint; the cranial cruciate ligament is the ligament that connects the thigh bone with the lower leg bone - it helps to stabilize the stifle joint.

Knee Ligament Repair The ligaments in the knee connect the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shin bone), and include the following: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ligament, located in the center of the knee, that controls rotation and forward movement of the tibia (shin bone).nee ligament repair or reconstruction is a treatment for a complete tear of a knee ligament that results in instability in the knee. People with a torn knee ligament may be unable to do normal activities that involve twisting or turning at the knee.

Runner's Knee - Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), often called runner's knee, refers to pain under and around the knee cap. The pain of PFPS may occur in one or both knees, and it tends to worsen with activity while descending stairs and after long periods of inactivity.

What Are Knee Ligament Injuries? Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect the bones in your body. There are four ligaments in the knee that are prone to injury: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly injured knee ligament. It connects the thigh bone to the shin bone. Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) also links the thigh bone to the shin bone in the knee. (It’s rarely injured except in car accidents).

What people say about Orajel December 6, 2016 | Skadi. I have a molar that desperately needs a root canal (which I cannot afford). 2 days ago, it started hurting like Satan himself was stabbing my tooth and gum with a hot needle. Bought some extra strength Orajel hoping to get through the day...but nooo....it never numbed my tooth or gum.

Is there an alternative to knee surgery for bone on bone condition due to osteoarthritis and loss of cartilage? Bones and Cartilage. The knee joint is the junction of three bones: the femur (thigh bone or upper leg bone), the tibia (shin bone or larger bone of the lower leg), and the patella (kneecap). The patella is 2 to 3 inches wide and 3 to 4 inches long.

dendrite a slender branching process that extends from the cell body of a neuron and that is capable of being stimulated by a neurotransmitter. Each neuron usually possesses several dendrites, which receive synapses where chemical transmission occurs from axons to dendrites (or an axon, in the case of unipolar neurons). The number of dendrites and thus the number of synapses varies with the functions of a neuron. Also called cytodendrite. Compare axon. Dendrite.

- Collateral Ligaments. These are found on the sides of your knee. The medial collateral ligament is on the inside and the lateral collateral ligament is on the outside. They control the sideways motion of your knee and brace it against unusual movement.t is also vital to movement. Your knee ligaments connect your thighbone to your lower leg bones. Knee ligament sprains or tears are a common sports injury. In the past, injuring more than one knee ligament would put an end to future sports activities.

Knee Replacement Overview Anatomy of the Knee. The knee joint is the intersection of your femur (your thigh bone), your tibia (your shin bone) and your patella (your kneecap).The quadriceps is the big group of muscles that make up your thigh. These muscles run down the length of your femur and taper off as they approach the patella.his pulls the patellar tendon back, which (being attached as it is to the top of your shin) straightens out your leg. Relax the quadriceps, and your leg bends. There's more to the picture, though. The shape of the femur and tibia have subtle variations in different people, as do the form of the ligaments.
