The term mesentery is used for the small intestine; and mesenteric organ is sometimes used to refer to the rest of the mesentery that incorporates the mesocolon, mesoappendix, mesosigmoid and mesorectum. It has been proposed for reclassification as an organ due to research at the University of Limerick in the 2010s.
Tibial Tubercle Avulsion Fracture. Tibial tubercle avulsion fractures occur when the tendon between the kneecap and shinbone (patellar tendon) causes a complete or incomplete break of the shinbone just below the knee joint (tibial tubercle). The tibial tubercle is where the tendon of the thigh muscle (quadriceps) attaches.
Medial Condyle. 4. (Condylus medialis) - a medial expansion at the tibia's proximal end that is supported by the medial meniscus and articulates with the medial condyle of the femur. The semimembranosus muscle attaches to the back of the tibial condyle.Intercondylar Eminence.. (Tuberositas tibiae) - a raised, roughened area on the anterior surface of the bone just inferior to the condyles. This area is also called is the tuberosity of the tibia. It is an attachment point for the patellar ligament, which serves as the distal tendon of the quadriceps muscle group.
