From the 14th century, the term was also used for a junior member of a guild (otherwise known as yeomen) or university and then for low-level ecclesiastics, as young monks and recently appointed canons. As an inferior grade of scholarship, it came to refer to one holding a bachelor's degree. This sense of baccalarius or baccalaureus is first attested at the University of Paris in the 13th century in the system of degrees established under the auspices of Pope Gregory IX as applied to scholars still in statu pupillari.
A rotator cuff tear may result from an acute injury such as a fall or may be caused by chronic wear and tear with degeneration of the tendon. Impingement of the front of the scapula, the acromion, on the tendon is believed to be a major cause of cuff tears in individuals older than 40 years. Typically, you will feel pain in the front of your shoulder that radiates down the side of your arm.
A tendon is tough, but flexible, band of fibrous connective tissue. One end of the tendon connects to muscle. The other end the tendon connects to bone. Contraction of the muscle pulls on the tendon, causing the tendon to pull the bone. In this way, tendons play an important role in muscle control of the body.Tendons are made of parallel collagen fibers running the length of the tendon. These collagen fibers give the tendon its strength. Tendons grow into the bone creating a connection that is extremely strong and hard to break.he other end the tendon connects to bone.
