License Image The glenoid labrum is a fibrocartilaginous rim attached around the margin of the glenoid cavity of the scapula. The shoulder joint is considered a ‘ball and socket’ joint. The glenoid labrum helps to deepen the “socket”. It is continuous with the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii, which blends with …

License Image Areas of the stomach depicted are the cardia, fundus, body and pylorus. The Z line is the transition of the squamous epithelium (lining) of the esophagus to the columnar epithelium of the stomach. This area is where Barrett’s esophagus can occur. When acid reflux, or GERD, causes irritation it can lead to dysplasia …
License Image The urinary system is composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Blood from the heart travels down the aorta where it enters the kidney via the renal arteries. The kidney acts as a filter and regulator, removing waste products (urea) and balancing glucose, electrolytes (salt, potassium and other minerals) and water levels …

License Image Looking down on the open knee joint from above you can see the medial and lateral menisci on the articular surface of the tibia. The C shaped menisci are flattened fibrocartilaginous discs that help to cushion the knee joint and assist in rotation. They are attached to the tibial condyles by their outer …

With their insertions on or near the greater trochanter of the femur, these muscles rotate the thigh laterally. See Also:PiriformisObturator InternusPelvic Floor Muscles
License Image A typical vertebra consists of a body, an arch and a central foramen (or collectively a canal) in which the spinal cord is contained. The arch consists of two pedicles which attach to the vertebral body and two lamina which form a roof. Located on the arch are two transverse processes, a spine, …
License Image medial view The elbow joint is a hinge joint composed of three bones: the humerus, the radius and the ulna. The Humeroulnar joint is the junction of the trochlea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna. This is the medial view of the elbow joint. See Also:Elbow JointRadioulnar Joint
License Image The tibial and femoral condyles are covered by articular cartilage and are cushioned and supported by the menisci. The menisci are thicker at their edges giving them a wedge like shape. The patellar ligament is formed by the middle portion of the quadriceps femoris tendon. It attaches to the patella and then continues …

License Image The tendons, ligaments and muscles surrounding a joint are what give it strength and stability. Ligaments and tendons are tough fibrous bands. Ligaments attach bone to bone, tendons attach muscle to bone. The anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) and the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) run the entire length of the spinal column. The anterior …
License Image Pelvic Floor Muscles The muscles of the “pelvic floor” or “pelvic diaphragm” are the levator ani, and the coccygeus. The levator ani is divided into two parts: the pubococcygeus and the iliococcygeus. Kegel exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor, primarily the pubococcygeus muscle. These exercises are usually done …
