The beams in our barn have been raised to give more head room on the ground floor. Subsequently the floor level of the room above will also (when built) be higher and the window in the room will be almost at floor level. We did realise all this at the begining and will be raising the height of the window . However I cannot remember where I looked it up or find in my notes what the minimum height allowed between floor level and a window located on a first floor level. I am aware that if the window is to low it will require bars across the outside a certain distance apart for safety but would appreciate if someone knows the distance between floor and window avoiding the use of bars.
In areas in which there is a marked change in direction of a tendon or in which a tendon passes under a ligamentous band or through a fascial sling, a tendon sheath or synovial sheath surrounds it. The tendon invaginates into the sheath to form a closed double-walled cylinder. The inner layer, the visceral layer, is closely attached to the tendon by areolar tissue. The outer layer, the parietal layer, is attached to adjacent connective tissue or periosteum. Because of this method of formation, the inner and outer layers are usually connected by an elongated mesentery, the mesotendon.
Connective tissue from this outer sheath extends into the body of the muscle, subdividing it into columns, or fascicles (these are the strings in stringy meat). Each of these fascicles is thus surrounded by its own connective tissue sheath, which is known as the perimysium (peri = around).Dissection of a muscle fascicle under a microscope reveals that it, in turn, is composed of many muscle fibers, or myofibers.ach is surrounded by a plasma membrane, or sarcolemma, enveloped by a thin connective tissue layer called an endomy-sium (fig. 12.1). Since the connective tissue of the tendons, epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium is continuous, muscle fibers do not normally pull out of the tendons when they contract.
