The gross anatomy of human finger nail consists of the following: 1. Nail plate: The nail plate is mainly produced by the matrix which emerges via the proximal nail fold and is held in place by the lateral nail folds. It overlays the nail bed and detaches from the latter at the hyponychium which is the skin under the free edge of the plate. The nail plate has an average thickness of 0.25–0.6 mm. It is hard, yet slightly elastic, translucent, convex and is made up of approximately 25 layers of dead
(Fig. 27) Compared to TKA, unicompartmental arthroplasty results in better knee joint with quicker rehabilitation time and greater range of motion. Revision of UKA to tricompartmental prostheses, requires special components, bone grafting or cement with screw augmentation to fill osseous defects, was necessary in 76% of patients

that rests between the trochlear groove in front of the Femur (thighbone) and Tibia (shinbone). This moveable bone in front of the knee is referred to as the largest sesamoid bone which is embedded within the tendons that attach muscles to certain joints and its back is lined with the thickest cartilage in the body. It slides up and down in the groove yet edges on either side of the groove, preventing it from moving sideways. Its base is facing proximally and its tip or the Apex Patellae is facing

Temporomandibular Joint is a hinge that connects the upper jaw (bone of the skull) and lower jaw (mandible of the jaw) to one another, it is also responsible for the movement of the jaw side to side, forward, and backwards. The temporomandibular joint is comprised of the outside parts of the mandibular fossae of the temporal bone, other ligaments, and parts of the eminences and mandible. This joint is one of the most complex joints in the human body. You can see a lot of the movement of the joint if you open
associated with an abnormal joint structure and laxity of the muscles, connective tissue (CT) and ligament that normally support the joint. As this joint laxity develops, the articular surfaces on the femur and in the acetabulum loose contact with each other. This separation within the joint is known as a subluxation and will cause drastic changes in both the size and shape of the articular surfaces. All dysplastic dogs are born with normal hips but the soft tissues surrounding the joint develops abnormally
femoral sulcus. Its proximal attachment is the quadriceps tendon which envelopes the structure and distally at the apex, the patellar tendon attaches. Both the tendons are functional as to stabilise the patella bone in the knee joint during movements or even when the joint is static. Also, the patellar retinacula are attached to both the medial and lateral sides of the patella. When the tendon is overused chronically without given adequate time to heal, tendinosis known as Jumper’s Knee can occur
Lab 2: Force Angle relationship 250 words 4 marks In this lab we concentrated on investigating the relationship between joint angle and consequential ability of muscles to produce force. The knee joint was focused on with the quadriceps (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedialis vastus medialis) and hamstrings (semitendinosus, semimembranosus. biceps femoris lomg head and short head) being the main muscle groups studied. A relationship exists between the length of the muscle before the
