tendon sheath (건초
| tendon sheath of flexor digitorum longus muscle of foot | The synovial sheath that envelops the flexor digitorum longus tendons as they pass into the foot deep to the flexor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinum musculi flexoris digitorum pedis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| tendon sheath of flexor hallucis longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath that envelops the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus as it passes into the foot deep to the flexor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi flexoris hallucis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of flexor pollicis longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath that envelops the tendon of the flexor pollicis longus in its course through the carpal canal; it is continuous with the digital sheath of the thumb, the two generally being considered as one sheath. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi flexoris pollicis longi, radial bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of superior oblique muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath enclosing the tendon of the superior oblique muscle as it passes through the trochlea. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi obliqui superioris, synovial trochlear bursa, trochlear synovial bursa, vagina synovialis trochleae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of tibialis anterior muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath, deep to the extensor retinaculum, that surrounds the tendon of the tibialis anterior as it crosses the ankle. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi tibialis anterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of tibialis posterior muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath surrounding the tendon of the tibialis posterior as it passes into the foot deep to the flexor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi tibialis posterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath syndrome | <syndrome> Limited elevation of the eye in adduction, appearing clinically as a paresis of the inferior oblique muscle, due to fascia contracting the superior oblique muscle on the same side. Synonym: Brown's syndrome, Paterson-Brown-Kelly syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| achilles tendon | <anatomy> The tendon which attaches to the heel and originates from the muscles in the calf (the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles). A strong fibrous tendon which connects the gastrocnemius muscle (calf) to the calcaneous bone in the foot. (27 Sep 1997) |
| achilles' tendon | <anatomy> The strong tendon formed of the united tendons of the large muscles in the calf of the leg, an inserted into the bone of the heel; so called from the mythological account of Achilles being held by the heel when dipped in the River Styx. Origin: L. Achillis tendo. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| bowed tendon | A condition caused by severe strain of the digital flexor tendons, the outer osseus (suspensory ligament), or the accessory ligament (distal cheek ligament) of the horse's limb and characterised by swelling, pain, and lameness; it occurs most frequently in race horses under stress of running.

| patellar tendon reflex | A sudden contraction of the anterior muscles of the thigh, caused by a smart tap on the patellar tendon while the leg hangs loosely at a right angle with the thigh. Synonym: knee jerk, knee phenomenon, knee reflex, knee-jerk reflex, patellar tendon reflex, quadriceps reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central tendon of diaphragm | A three-lobed fibrous sheet occupying the centre of the diaphragm. Synonym: centrum tendineum diaphragmatis, trefoil tendon. Central tendon of perineum, the fibromuscular mass between the anal canal and the urogenital diaphragm in the median plane; midline episiotomies extend into this structure. Synonym: centrum tendineum perinei, perineal body, Savage's perineal body. (05 Mar 2000) |
