Comparison between tract and nerve

-
  Comparison between tract and nerve Nerve Nerve contain bundle of axons (nerve fibers) in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that transmits signals between the central nervous system (CNS) and other parts of the body. It is the most important part of peripheral nervous system Location: Peripheral nervous system. Structure: Made of axons, connective tissue layers (endoneurium: axon is surrounded by it , perineurium: bundle of axons are surrounded by it, epineurium: whole nerve trunk is surrounded by it), and blood vessels. It gets myelination by Schwann cell   Function: Carries sensory signals to the CNS (afferent) from peripheral part of body or motor signals carry from from the CNS (efferent) to target organs like skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle or glands Example: Sciatic nerve, median nerve, except optic nerve (though optic nerve is technically part of CNS in develop...

Difference between inflowing and outflowing part of right ventricle

-
Image
Interior of right ventricle: Internally it has two parts 1.      inflowing rough part due to trabeculae carneae  ( muscular ridges of the heart ) and 2.       outflowing smooth part also known as infundibulum. The two part are separated by a muscular ridge known as supraventricular crest. The cavity of the right ventricle is crescent shape in cross section because the interventricular septum make a bulge toward the right ventricle. Moderator band: (septomarginal trabeculum) it is the unique features of the right ventricle , a thick muscular ridge extending from the ventricular septum to the base of the anterior papillary muscle. It conveys the right branch of the atrioventricular bundle (bundle of His) , a part of conducting system of the heart .  Function : it prevent overdistension of right ventricle of heart  Trabeculae carneae of right ventricle: Three types of muscular projections are present in ...

Difference between right and left ventricle : with easy and short description

-
Image
Right and left ventricles of heart : The heart consists of four chambers: ·         Right and left atrium both are separated by interatrial septum ·         Right and left ventricle both are separated by interventricular septum Right ventricle :  The wall of the right ventricle is thicker than the atrium but it is less thick than the left ventricle. It contains two orifices 1.      Right atrioventricular orifice: by this orifice deoxygenated blood of right atrium enters into the right ventricle 2.      .2. Pulmonary orifice : by this orifice it sends it deoxygenated blood to the lung via pulmonary trunk for oxygenation.   Externally it forms most the sternocostal surface and 1/3 of diaphragmatic surface. It also form inferior border. It is separated from right atrium by atrioventricular sulcus /groove or coronary sulcus. It also separated from left v...

Difference between the palmar Interossei  & dorsal interossei muscles of the hand Palmar  interossei Dorsal interossei Character Uni-pennate Bi-pennete Size Smaller than the dorsal interossei Larger than the palmar interossei Origin by single head-from one side of the the body of the palmar surface of metacarpal bones By two heads; from the adjacent sides the bodies of all metacarpal bones View They are only seen from the palmar aspect of the interosseous space Dorsal interossei can be seen from both dorsal and palmar aspects Action Abduction-Carry the fingers or toes towards the middle line PAD : P : palmar interossei AD : adduction Abduction; carry the fingers or toes away from the middle line DAB: D: dorsal interossei AB: abduction Special note Thumb require no Palmaris interossei thumb already possessing...
