Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle
The lateral cricoarytenoid (also anterior cricoarytenoid) muscles extend from the lateral cricoid cartilage to the muscular process of the arytenoid cartilage. By rotating the arytenoid cartilages medially these muscles adduct […]

Pericardial cavity
The pericardial cavity (or pericardial space) is a potential space between the parietal pericardium and visceral layer. It contains a supply of serous fluid. The serous fluid that is found […]
Serous pericardium
The serous pericardium is deeper than the fibrous pericardium in the heart. It contains two layers both of which function in lubricating the heart to prevent friction from occurring during […]
Fibrous pericardium
The fibrous pericardium is the most superficial layer of the pericardium in the heart. It is made up of dense connective tissue and loose connective tissue which acts to protect […]
Myosatellite cell
Myosatellite cells or satellite cells are small mononuclear progenitor cells with virtually no cytoplasm found in mature muscle. Satellite cells are precursors to skeletal muscle cells able to give rise […]
Glabella
The glabella in humans is the skin between the eyebrows and above the nose. It also refers to the underlying bone which is slightly depressed and joins the two superciliary […]
