  2. Periosteum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periosteum

    The periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones, [1] except at the articular surfaces (i.e. the parts within a joint space) of long bones. (At the joints of long bones the bone's outer surface is lined with "articular cartilage", a type of hyaline cartilage.)

  3. Gastrointestinal wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_wall

    The muscular layer consists of two layers of muscle, the inner and outer layer. [3] The muscle of the inner layer is arranged in circular rings around the tract, whereas the muscle of the outer layer is arranged longitudinally. The stomach has an extra layer, an inner oblique muscular layer. [1] Between the two muscle layers is the myenteric ...

  4. Dura mater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dura_mater

    The dura mater has two layers, an outer periosteal layer closely adhered to the neurocranium, and an inner meningeal layer known as the dural border cell layer. [1] The two dural layers are for the most part fused together forming a thick fibrous tissue membrane that covers the brain and the vertebrae of the spinal column. [2] But the layers ...

  5. Synovial joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_joint

    Joint capsule: the fibrous capsule, continuous with the periosteum of articulating bones, surrounds the diarthrosis and unites the articulating bones; the joint capsule consists of two layers - (1) the outer fibrous membrane that may contain ligaments and (2) the inner synovial membrane that secretes the lubricating, shock absorbing, and joint ...

    Histology of a synovial membrane. H&E stain. The synovial membrane is variable but often has two layers: [4] The outer layer, or subintima, can be of almost any type of connective tissue – fibrous (dense collagenous type), adipose (fatty; e.g. in intra-articular fat pads) or areolar (loose collagenous type).

  7. Muscular layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_layer

    It usually has two layers of smooth muscle: inner and "circular" outer and "longitudinal" However, there are some exceptions to this pattern. In the stomach, there are three layers to the muscular layer. Stomach contains an additional oblique muscle layer just interior to circular muscle layer.

  8. Sharpey's fibres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpey's_fibres

    A good example is the attachment of the rotator cuff muscles to the blade of the scapula. In the teeth , Sharpey's fibres are the terminal ends of principal fibres (of the periodontal ligament) that insert into the cementum and into the periosteum of the alveolar bone. [ 1 ]

  9. Deep fascia of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_fascia_of_leg

    The deep fascia of leg or crural fascia forms a complete investment to the muscles, and is fused with the periosteum over the subcutaneous surfaces of the bones.. The deep fascia of the leg is continuous above with the fascia lata (deep fascia of the thigh), and is attached around the knee to the patella, the patellar ligament, the tuberosity and condyles of the tibia, and the head of the fibula.
