- A “corked thigh” or muscle contusion is caused by a severe impact to the muscles of the thigh causing damage to these muscles, resulting in internal bleeding and subsequent inflammation.A haematoma (collection of blood in the tissues) in the quadriceps muscle may occur. corked thigh is usually caused by a direct blow to the thigh muscle often during contact sports, such as football or rugby. Treatment involves rest, ice and compression and elevation of the limb.

Leg Strain Calf muscle strain (gastrocnemius strain). The calf muscle typically gets strained when the foot suddenly bends upward, stretching the calf muscle beyond its limits. At the time of injury, you may hear or feel a pop inside your calf -- the sound of the muscle tearing or shearing away from the Achilles tendon.

Charley horse In this latter sense, such an injury is known as dead leg. In Australia it is also known as a corked thigh or corky. It often occurs in contact sports, such as football when an athlete suffers a knee (blunt trauma) to the lateral quadriceps causing a haematoma or temporary paresis and antalgic gait as a result of pain.

Cork 101 Cork is the bark of an oak tree known botanically as quercus suber. The tree is an evergreen that grows only in areas bordering the Mediterranean. Portugal represents approximately 50% of the world's cork output, Spain accounts for 25% and the remainder comes from Algeria, France, Morocco, Italy and Tunisia.

Graduation Time - Remembering Einstein's Dissertation Two pages of his dissertation had top margins that were a quarter inch too wide. Remembering my own 23 years of college and some similar experiences along the way, I sent congratulations and included a copy of Albert Einstein's Ph.D. dissertation, with the hope that it would help to get the margins right.

Prince - Purple Rain (Guitar cover - no vocals but big solo!) I've done a rhythm and lead guitars cover of Prince's Purple Rain. It's a bit cliche but it's an excuse to do a popular song and TRY have a little fun with the solo at the end. I originally put vocals on it but I didn't rate them. The rhythm guitar was recorded before x mas and the the solo was recorded tonight.

Cork tree Cork tree. Cork tree (genus Phellodendron), genus of several eastern Asian trees in the rue family (Rutaceae) usually having corklike bark. The Amur, or Japanese, cork tree (Phellodendron amurense) is useful as a lawn and shade tree and is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions.

- Cork is the outer bark of the cork oak tree. Scientifically the Latin name for the cork oak tree is Quercus (oak) suber (cork). This remarkable tree has a bark (suberose parenchyma) which is unique throughout the plant kingdom. The cork bark can be harvested from the tree allowing new bark to grow in its place without killing or damaging the trees.

cork The outermost layer of tissue in woody plants that is resistant to the passage of water vapor and gases and that becomes the bark. Cork is secondary tissue, formed on the outside of the tissue layer known as cork cambium. The cell walls of cork cells contain suberin. Once they mature, cork cells die. Also called phellem.

Calf (leg) Calf (leg) The calf (Latin: sura) is the back portion of the lower leg in human anatomy. The muscles within the calf correspond to the posterior compartment of the leg. The two largest muscles within this compartment are known together as the calf muscle and attach to the heel via the Achilles tendon.

Corkscrew In its traditional form, a corkscrew is simply a steel screw attached to a perpendicular handle, made of wood or some other material. The user grips the handle and screws the metal point into the cork, until the helix is firmly embedded, then a vertical pull on the corkscrew extracts the cork from the bottle.

Involuntary muscle A muscle that contracts without conscious control. Supplement. A muscle may act ordinarily either under the control of the will or without conscious control. Muscles that can be controlled at will are referred to as voluntary muscles. Those that are not under the control of the will (volition) are called involuntary muscles. Examples of involuntary muscles are the smooth muscles, which are muscles lacking striations when viewed under a microscope. This is why involuntary muscles are sometimes called non-striated or un-striped muscles.

Calf Muscles The calf muscles are what are called slow twitch muscles which means that the calf muscles are, for the most part, made up of slow-twitch muscle fibers, fibers that are best at endurance feats. The gastrocnemius and the soleus run between the knee and the ankle.

muscle detrusor muscle of bladder, detrusor urinae muscle the bundles of smooth muscle fibers forming the muscular coat of the urinary bladder, which are arranged in a longitudinal and a circular layer and, on contraction, serve to expel urine.oluntary muscles are those controlled by the conscious part of the brain, and are striated. These are the skeletal muscles that enable the body to move, and there are more than 600 of them in the human body. Their fibers are grouped together in sheaths of muscle cells.
