| injury potential | The difference in potential recorded when one electrode is placed on intact nerve fibres or muscle fibres and the other electrode is placed on the injured ends of the same fibres; the intact portion is positive with reference to the injured portion. Synonym: injury potential. (05 Mar 2000) |

| injury severity score | An anatomic severity scale based on the abbreviated injury scale (ais) and developed specifically to score multiple traumatic injuries. It has been used as a predictor of mortality. (12 Dec 1998) |
| open head injury | A head injury in which there is a loss of continuity of scalp or mucous membranes; the term is sometimes used to indicate a communication between the exterior and the intracranial cavity. See: penetrating wound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| egg-white injury | <syndrome> Dermatitis, loss of hair, and loss of muscle coordination, produced in rats by diets containing large amounts of raw egg white, the avidin of which combines with biotin producing a deficiency of the latter. Synonym: egg-white injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcanean tendon | See: Tendon, Achilles (12 Dec 1998) |
| Gerlach's annular tendon | fibrocartilaginous ring of tympanic membrane |
| giant cell tumour of tendon sheath | A nodule, possibly inflammatory in nature, arising commonly from the flexor sheath of the fingers and thumb; composed of fibrous tissue, lipid-and haemosiderin-containing macrophages, and multinucleated giant cells. Synonym: localised nodular tenosynovitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| patellar tendon | <anatomy> The tendon which connects the quadriceps muscle to the tibia, providing extension at the knee joint. (27 Sep 1997) |
| 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) |
| Golgi tendon organ | <cell biology, physiology> A proprioceptive sensory nerve ending embedded among the fibres of a tendon, often near the musculotendinous junction; it is compressed and activated by any increase of the tendon's tension, caused either by active contraction or passive stretch of the corresponding muscle. Synonym: neurotendinous organ, neurotendinous spindle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for tendon of flexor hallucis longus | Groove for tendon of the flexor hallucis longus; a vertical sulcus on the posterior process of the talus continuous with a similar groove on the underside of the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus. Synonym: sulcus tendinis musculi flexoris hallucis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for tendon of peroneus longus muscle | <anatomy> The groove below the peroneal trochlea of the calcaneus, the groove distal to the tuberosity of the cuboid bone. Synonym: sulcus tendinis musculi peronei longi, sulcus tendinis musculi fibularis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for tibialis posterior tendon | A broad groove on the posterior surface of the medial malleolus, through which the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle runs. Synonym: sulcus malleolaris, malleolar sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
