Synaptic Transmission - Basic Neurochemistry Write a short note on a synapse. Answer. The neurons form long chains along which impulses travel from one neuron to the other and so on for long distances in different directions. The site of contact between two neurons where nerve impulses pass from one neuron to another is called a synapse. It is important to know that … [Read more...] about Role of Synapses in the Nervous System

Deep Fascia: Structure, Function, and Clinical Significance
Deep Fascia Deep Fascia is a dense, inelastic fibrous membrane that separates the superficial fascia from the underlying structures. It is made up of regularly arranged collagen fibres. Deep Fascia sends septa between muscles from its deep aspect forming intermuscular septa. "The Role Of Imaging In Studying Deep Fascia Layers" Deep Fascia ensheaths the muscles, … [Read more...] about Deep Fascia: Structure, Function, and Clinical Significance
Cervical Fascias: Superficial And Deep Fascial Layers
Cervical Fascias: Superficial And Deep Fascial Layers Superficial fascia Question 1. What is superficial fascia? Answer. superficial fascia is a layer of loose connective tissue located deep to skin. It connects the skin to the underlying deep fascia. The superficial fascia contains subcutaneous fat, nerves and vessels. It is mostly heavily infiltrated with fat in … [Read more...] about Cervical Fascias: Superficial And Deep Fascial Layers
Synovial Bursa
Synovial Bursa Define a synovial bursa and mention its types. Answer. The synovial bursa (bursa = purse) is a closed sac of synovial membrane filled with a capillary film of a synovial fluid. The bursae are supported by an irregular connective tissue. They reduce friction between two mobile units to permit free movement. "Importance Of Synovial Bursa In Joint … [Read more...] about Synovial Bursa
Dermis Layers, Function & Structure
Dermis Layers, Function & Structure Layers of Dermis The dermis consists of two layers: Papillary layer: It is superficial and forms one-fifth of the total thickness of dermis. It sends finger-like projections (called dermal papillae) towards epidermis. Reticular layer: It is a deep layer and contains course bundles of collagen fibres. It also contains blood … [Read more...] about Dermis Layers, Function & Structure
