Causes of ganglion cysts. The causes of ganglion cysts are still not known. The cysts appear to grow from joints like a balloon on a stalk and tend to develop in areas where a joint or tendon naturally bulge out of place. There are, however, three main categories of risk factor: 1  Age and sex: ganglion cysts can affect anyone at any time, but they are most commonly found to occur in females aged 20-30. 2  Joint or tendon injury: areas injured in the past are more likely to develop ganglion cysts.
equilibrium; chemical equilibrium. Hypernyms (equilibrium is a kind of...): chemical reaction; reaction ((chemistry) a process in which one or more substances are changed into others) Hyponyms (each of the following is a kind of equilibrium): poise (a state of being balanced in a stable equilibrium) Nash equilibrium ((game theory) a stable state of a system that involves several interacting participants in which no participant can gain by a change of strategy as long as all the other participants remain unchanged)
stability. see equilibrium equilibrium,state of balance. When a body or a system is in equilibrium, there is no net tendency to change. In mechanics, equilibrium has to do with the forces acting on a body......physics). The property of a system which does not undergo any change without the application of an external agency. The property of a system in which any departure from an equilibrium state gives rise to forces or influences which tend to return the system to equilibrium. Also known as static stability.
