Generally, the term "meniscus" is used to refer to the cartilage of the knee, either to the lateral or medial meniscus. Both are cartilaginous tissues that provide structural integrity to the knee when it undergoes tension and torsion. The menisci are also known as "semi-lunar" cartilages, referring to their half-moon, crescent shape.
The near side of the Moon is the lunar hemisphere that always faces towards Earth, opposite to the far side. Only one side of the Moon is visible from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that the Moon orbits the Earth—a situation known as tidal locking.
The articular capsule of the knee joint is the wide and lax joint capsule of the knee. It is thin in front and at the side, and contains the patella, ligaments, menisci, and bursae of the knee. [1] The capsule consists of an inner synovial membrane, and an outer fibrous membrane separated by fatty deposits anteriorly and posteriorly. [2]
As the Earth rotates faster than the Moon travels around its orbit, this small angle produces a gravitational torque which slows the Earth and accelerates the Moon in its orbit. In the case of the ocean tides, the speed of tidal waves in the ocean [16] is far slower than the speed of the Moon's tidal forcing. As a result, the ocean is never in ...
If you ride an e-scooter, the experts recommend wearing a helmet, following road rules, and going no faster than 30 miles per hour. Push through pain. You've probably heard the saying, "no pain ...
Finding a well-fitting sports bra is important for more than the possibility of avoiding knee pain—it can also help protect your back and keep you comfortable during workouts.
Many of my clients start their squat at the knees. I recommend initiating movement at the hips. Putting too much pressure on your knees can cause dangerous strain , and it’s not necessary to ...
The net tide raised on Earth by the Moon is dragged ahead of the Moon by Earth's much faster rotation. Tidal friction is required to drag and maintain the bulge ahead of the Moon, and it dissipates the excess energy of the exchange of rotational and orbital energy between Earth and the Moon as heat. If the friction and heat dissipation were not ...
