  2. Golgi tendon organ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_tendon_organ

    The Golgi tendon organ (GTO) (also called Golgi organ, tendon organ, neurotendinous organ or neurotendinous spindle) is a proprioceptor – a type of sensory receptor that senses changes in muscle tension. It lies at the interface between a muscle and its tendon known as the musculotendinous junction also known as the myotendinous junction. [1]

  3. Golgi cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_cell

    In neuroscience, Golgi cells are the most abundant inhibitory interneurons found within the granular layer of the cerebellum. [1] Golgi cells can be found in the granular layer at various layers. [2] The Golgi cell is essential for controlling the activity of the granular layer. [3] They were first identified as inhibitory in 1964. [4]

  4. Proprioception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception

    The proprioceptive sense is believed to be composed of information from sensory neurons located in the inner ear (motion and orientation) and in the stretch receptors located in the muscles and the joint-supporting ligaments (stance). There are specific nerve receptors for this form of perception termed "proprioceptors", just as there are ...

  5. Tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendon

    Tendinopathies can be caused by a number of factors relating to the tendon extracellular matrix (ECM), and their classification has been difficult because their symptoms and histopathology often are similar. Types of tendinopathy include: [38] Tendinosis: non-inflammatory injury to the tendon at the cellular level.

  6. Golgi apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_apparatus

    The Golgi apparatus (/ ˈ ɡ ɒ l dʒ i /), also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. [1] Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm , it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination.

  7. Posterolateral corner injuries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterolateral_Corner_Injuries

    Injuries to the PLC often occur in combination with other ligamentous injuries to the knee; most commonly the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). [2] As with any injury , an understanding of the anatomy and functional interactions of the posterolateral corner is important to diagnosing and treating the injury.

  8. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction - Wikipedia

    Agreed-upon risk factors include: obesity; hypertension; diabetes; previous injuries; joint disorders; prior disorders; and steroid use. [1]There have been many proposals for the cause, however the most common one is repetitive microtraumas leading to failure.

  9. Golfer's elbow - Wikipedia

    Before therapy can commence, treatment such as rest, ice, compression and elevation (R.I.C.E.) will typically be used. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 4 ] This will help to decrease the pain and inflammation; rest will alleviate discomfort because golfer's elbow is an overuse injury.
