Medial Ligament (other)

	Medial Ligament (other) Medial ligament might refer to: * Medial arcuate ligament, in one's diaphragm * Medial collateral ligament, one of the four major ligaments of the knee * Medial palpebral ligament, near one's nose * Medial pubovesical ligament, from one's bladder to one's pubis bones * Medial talocalcaneal ligament, near one's ankle * Medial umbilical ligament, near an abdominal wall {{disambig ...

	Medial Arcuate Ligament The medial arcuate ligament (also medial lumbocostal arch and internal arcuate ligament) is a tendinous fascia that arches over the psoas major muscle as it passes posterior the diaphragm. The purpose of the medial arcuate ligament is to attach the diaphragm to the spine (lumbar vertebra L1 - L2) Structure The medial arcuate ligament is an arch in the fascia covering the upper part of the psoas major. It is attached to the side of the body of the first or second lumbar vertebra, laterally, it is fixed to the front of the transverse process of the first and, sometimes also, to that of the second lumbar vertebra. It lies between the lateral arcuate ligament and the midline median arcuate ligament. The sympathetic chain enters the abdomen by passing deep into this ligament of the diaphragm. This is in contrast to the parasympathetic vagus nerve which passes through the esophageal hiatus In human anatomy, the esophageal hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm through which the e ...

	Medial Collateral Ligament The medial collateral ligament (MCL), also called the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) or tibial collateral ligament (TCL), is one of the major ligaments of the knee. It is on the medial (inner) side of the knee joint and occurs in humans and other primates. Its primary function is to resist valgus (inward bending) forces on the knee. Structure It is a broad, flat, membranous band, situated slightly posterior on the medial side of the knee joint. It is attached proximally to the medial epicondyle of the femur, immediately below the adductor tubercle; below to the medial condyle of the tibia and medial surface of its body. It resists forces that would push the knee medially, which would otherwise produce valgus deformity. It provides up to 78% of the restraining force that resists valgus (inward pressing) loads on the knee. The fibers of the posterior part of the ligament are short and incline backward as they descend; they are inserted into the tibia above t ...

	Medial Palpebral Ligament The medial palpebral ligament (medial canthal tendon) is a ligament of the face. It attaches to the frontal process of the maxilla, the lacrimal groove, and the tarsus of each eyelid. It has a superficial (anterior) and a deep (posterior) layer, with many surrounding attachments. It connects the medial canthus of each eyelid to the medial part of the orbit. It is a useful point of fixation during eyelid reconstructive surgery. Structure The anterior attachment of the medial palpebral ligament is to the frontal process of the maxilla in front of the lacrimal groove (near the nasal bone and the frontal bone), and its posterior attachment is the lacrimal bone. Crossing the lacrimal sac, it divides into two parts, upper and lower, each attached to the medial end of the corresponding tarsus of each eyelid. As the ligament crosses the lacrimal sac, a strong aponeurotic lamina is given off from its posterior surface; this expands over the sac, and is attached to the poste ...

	Medial Pubovesical Ligament Medial may refer to: Mathematics * Medial magma, a mathematical identity in algebra Geometry * Medial axis, in geometry the set of all points having more than one closest point on an object's boundary * Medial graph, another graph that represents the adjacencies between edges in the faces of a plane graph * Medial triangle, the triangle whose vertices lie at the midpoints of an enclosing triangle's sides * Polyhedra: Medial deltoidal hexecontahedron Medial disdyakis triacontahedron Medial hexagonal hexecontahedron Medial icosacronic hexecontahedron Medial inverted pentagonal hexecontahedron Medial pentagonal hexecontahedron ** Medial rhombic triacontahedron Linguistics * A medial sound or letter is one that is found in the middle of a larger unit (like a word) ** Syllable medial, a segment located between the onset and the rime of a syllable * In the older literature, a term for the voiced stops (like ''b'', ''d'', ''g'') * Medial or second person de ...

	Medial Talocalcaneal Ligament The medial talocalcaneal ligament (internal calcaneo-astragaloid ligament) connects the medial tubercle of the back of the talus with the back of the sustentaculum tali. Its fibers blend with those of the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament The plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (also known as the spring ligament or spring ligament complex) is a complex of three ligaments on the underside of the foot that connect the calcaneus with the navicular bone.
