The Union Between Gracilis and Sartorius Muscles in Leontopithecus: Morphofunctional Analysis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Golden Lion Tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) is an endemic primate of the Brazilian Atlantic coastal rainforest, still under serious extinction risk. Just a few is know about its anatomy, specifically the muscle unions. Due to the reasons exposed before, aiming understanding the locomotion of this and others primates, we decided to study the morphology and morphometry of the gracilis and sartorius muscles, and the relation between them, in three Leontopithecus species.

Anatomy of sartorius muscle.
A sartorius muscle is the longest muscle of the human system. It runs over 2 joints- hip and knee joints. In the study 10 sartorius muscles were examined. They were dissected free of lower human limbs. Dimensions of limbs which these muscles come from and dimensions of the muscles and their component parts were examined. The attention was paid mainly to parts of tendon located inside the muscle...
متن کاملQuantifying the Elastic Property of Nine Thigh Muscles Using Magnetic Resonance Elastography
BACKGROUND Pathologies of the muscles can manifest different physiological and functional changes. To adapt treatment, it is necessary to characterize the elastic property (shear modulus) of single muscles. Previous studies have used magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a technique based on MRI technology, to analyze the mechanical behavior of healthy and pathological muscles. The purpose of ...
متن کاملPes anserinus bursitis
Pes anserinus bursitis (www.physio-pedia.com/Bursitis), also known as intertendinous bursa, is an inflammation of the bursa of the conjoined insertion of the M. Sartorius, M. Gracilis and M. Semitendinosus muscles along the proximal medial aspect of the tibia [4]. The bursa is located approximately two inches below the medial knee joint line between the pes anserinus tendons. The bursa doesn’t ...
متن کاملThe hip adductor muscle group in caviomorph rodents: anatomy and homology.
Anatomical comparative studies including myological data of caviomorph rodents are relatively scarce, leading to a lack of use of muscular features in cladistic and morphofunctional analyses. In rodents, the hip adductor muscles constitute an important group of the hindlimb musculature, having an important function during the beginning of the stance phase. These muscles are subdivided in severa...
متن کاملIdentification of candidate genes for congenital splay leg in piglets by alternative analysis of DNA microarray data
The congenital splay leg syndrome in piglets is characterized by a temporarily impaired functionality of the hind leg muscles immediately after birth. Etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms for the disease are still not well understood. We compared genome wide gene expression of three hind leg muscles (M. adductores, M. gracilis and M. sartorius) between affected piglets and their healthy litterm...
