Causes of Cor Pulmonale. The lungs depend on the heart to transport blood from the body to the lungs. Pulmonary hypertension is a type of increased pressure in your lungâs arteries and your heartâs right ventricle. This increased pressure causes an ineffective transportation of blood to the lungs. Untreated pulmonary hypertension is the most common cause of cor pulmonale. Other conditions that can cause this health complication include: blood clots in the lungs.
The junction between a motor neuron's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called neuromuscular junction A motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle cells it stimulates is called a
In large, flat muscles the tendon is often a flattened sheet called an aponeurosis. Cords of connective tissue also bind bone to bone across joints; these are called ligaments. The two attachments of a muscle are called the origin and the insertion. The end of a muscle which is nearer to the midline of the body, which is more proximal, or less movable is called the origin. The end of a muscle furthest from the dorsal midline, more distal or more movable is called the insertion.
