example of a monosynaptic reflex arc‚ which is simply a neural pathway controlling a somatic reflex. In a monosynaptic reflex arc‚ there is only one motor neuron and one sensory neuron‚ which form a single chemical synapse. This means when the patellar tendon is tapped with a reflex hammer‚ there needs to only be a very brief stimulation to the muscle spindles. These muscle spindles provide the feedback that the brain needs to regulate tension in skeletal muscles. In other words‚ there will be

areolar connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber. Perimysium is a thicker sheet of connective tissue that surrounds a bundle of muscle fibers called fascicle. Epimysium is collagenous‚ dense connective tissue that surrounds an entire muscle. A tendon is a dense regular connective tissue‚ it may connect to a bone that’s moveable for the origin and to an immoveable bone to establish insertion we call a muscle that is very wide aponeurosis. There are different patterns of arrangement for fascicles

For external ultrasound can be used to localize a diagnostic challenge injection into the trochanteric bursa‚ while for internal the iliopsoas sheath‚ and the intra-articular space. MRI’s can be used to rule out intra-articular pathology and can show inflamed bursas. Lastly‚ the use of iliopsoas bursography are to view the iliopsoas tendon under fluoroscopy after the bursa was injected
