Tendon and degeneration or weakening of the tendons, which may eventually lead to tendon rupture. Tendinopathies can be caused by a number of factors relating to the tendon extracellular matrix (ECM), and their classification has been difficult because their symptoms and histopathology often are similar. The first category of tendinopathy is paratenonitis, which refers to inflammation of the paratenon, or paratendinous sheet located between the tendon and its sheath. Tendinosis refers to non-inflammatory injury to the tendon at the cellular level. The degradation is caused by damage to collagen, cells, and the vascular components of the tendon, and is known to
Inelastic scattering reaction will be inelastic, but the term inelastic scattering is reserved for those collisions which do "not" result in reactions. There is a transfer of energy between the translational mode (kinetic energy) and rotational and vibrational modes. If the transferred energy is small compared to the incident energy of the scattered particle, one speaks of quasielastic scattering. Inelastic scattering In chemistry, nuclear physics, and particle physics, inelastic scattering is a fundamental scattering process in which the kinetic energy of an incident particle is not conserved (in contrast to elastic scattering). In an inelastic scattering process, some of the energy of
