[1] [3] [4] The underlying mechanism involves the flow of synovial fluid from the knee joint to the gastrocnemio-semimembranosus bursa, resulting in its expansion. [1] The diagnosis may be confirmed with ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [3] Treatment is initially with supportive care. [1]
The suprapatellar bursa, the largest bursa, extends the joint space anteriorly and proximally. The subpopliteal recess and semimembranosus bursa are located posteriorly and are much smaller; The lateral and medial subtendinous bursae of gastrocnemius are located at the origin of the two heads of the gastrocnemius muscle. Non-communicating bursae:
the bursa semimembranosa between the medial collateral ligament and the tendon of the semimembranosus [2] there is one between the tendon of the semimembranosus and the head of the tibia [ 5 ] and occasionally there is a bursa between the tendons of the semimembranosus and semitendinosus [ 5 ]
The semimembranosus muscle (/ ˌ s ɛ m i ˌ m ɛ m b r ə ˈ n oʊ s ə s /) is the most medial of the three hamstring muscles in the thigh. It is so named because it has a flat tendon of origin. It lies posteromedially in the thigh, deep to the semitendinosus muscle. It extends the hip joint and flexes the knee joint.

The subarachnoid lymphatic-like membrane (SLYM) is a possible fourth meningeal layer that was proposed in 2023 in the brain of humans and mice. [10] The SLYM is located in the subarachnoid space, the space between the middle reticular meninges and the innermost tender meninges that lie close to the brain. [10]
The dopamine reward circuitry in the human brain involves two projection systems from the ventral midbrain to the nucleus accumbens-olfactory tubercle complex. First, the posteromedial VTA and central linear raphe cells selectively project to the ventromedial striatum , which includes the medial olfactory tubercle and the medial NAC shell .
Location of the human cerebrum (red). The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. Depending upon the position of the animal, it lies either in front or on top of the brainstem. In humans, the cerebrum is the largest and best-developed of the five major divisions of the brain.
