More Information
The meniscus is a type of cartilage that provides cushioning in joints like the knee. Hyperextension can lead to joint injury, and tendonitis results from overuse of tendons.
Tips
Common mistakes include confusing terms like 'flexion' and 'extension' or 'cardiac' and 'smooth' muscle types.
