A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones. It also connects flight feathers to bones, in dinosaurs and birds. All 30,000 species of amniotes (land animals with internal bones) have ligaments. It is also known as articular ligament, articular larua, [1] fibrous ligament, or true ligament.
The Ligament of Marshall (LoM) is a complex of muscle bundles, blood vessels, adipose tissue, fibrous structure, ganglia, and nerves between the left atrial appendage and the left superior pulmonary vein. [1] [2] The LoM consists of the Vein of Marshall (VoM), a band of muscle called to Marshall Bundle (MB), and the epicardial ganglionated ...
A gomphosis, also known as a dentoalveolar syndesmosis, [11] or 'peg and socket joint' [12] is a joint that binds the teeth to bony teeth sockets in the maxillary bone and mandible. Gomphos is the Greek word for "bolt". The fibrous connection between a tooth and its socket is a periodontal ligament. Specifically, the connection is made between ...
an outer (fibrous membrane, fibrous stratum) composed of avascular white fibrous tissue an inner ( synovial membrane , synovial stratum ) which is a secreting layer On the inside of the capsule, articular cartilage covers the end surfaces of the bones that articulate within that joint.
A syndesmosis (“fastened with a band”) is a type of fibrous joint in which two parallel bones are united to each other by fibrous connective tissue. The gap between the bones may be narrow, with the bones joined by ligaments, or the gap may be wide and filled in by a broad sheet of connective tissue called an interosseous membrane. [1]
In human anatomy, the annular ligaments of the fingers, often referred to as A pulleys, are the annular part of the fibrous sheathes of the fingers. Four or five such annular pulleys, together with three cruciate pulleys, form a fibro-osseous tunnel on the palmar aspect of the hand through which passes the deep and superficial flexor tendons ...
The oblique popliteal ligament (posterior ligament) is a broad, flat, fibrous ligament on the posterior knee. [1] It is an extension of the tendon of the semimembranosus muscle. [1] [2] It attaches onto the intercondylar fossa and lateral condyle of the femur. [2] It reinforces the posterior central portion of the knee joint capsule. [3]
The ligaments of malleus are three ligaments that attach the malleus in the middle ear.They are the anterior, lateral and superior ligaments.. The anterior ligament of the malleus also known as Casserio's ligament [1] is a fibrous band that extends from the neck of the malleus just above its anterior process to the anterior wall of the tympanic cavity close to the petrotympanic fissure.
