How the Aurora Borealis Form How the Aurora Borealis Form. It begins with a solar flare. The aurora borealis (northern lights) form when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. These collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

- Two olecranon bursae can become inflamed; one lies between the tendon of the triceps and the posterior ligament of the elbow and the olecranon, whereas the other is more superficial, lying between the attachment of the triceps to the olecranon and the skin.

- The etiology of the pain most likely results from a complex interaction between structural changes secondary to osteoarthritis and peripheral en central pain processing mechanisms[2]. The etiologies of pes anserinus bursitis also include trauma such as a direct blow to this part of the knee. A contusion to this area results in an increased release of synovial fluid in the lining of the bursa. The bursa then becomes inflamed and tendered or painful[3].

Bursitis Bursitis and tendinitis are both common conditions that cause swelling around muscles and bones. They occur most often in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, or ankle. A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between a bone and other moving body parts such as muscles, tendons, or skin.Bursae are found throughout the body. Bursitis occurs when a bursa becomes swollen.A tendon is a flexible band of tissue that connects muscles to bones. Tendons can be small, like those found in the hand or ankle, or large, like the Achilles tendon in the heel. Tendons help create movement by making the muscles push or pull the bones in different ways.Tendinitis is the severe swelling of a tendon.hey occur most often in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, or ankle.
