Cellular respiration is the process by which cells get their energy in the form of ATP. There are two types of cellular respiration, aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration is more efficient and can be utilized in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.
Definition/Description. Pes Anserine bursitis, also known as intertendinous bursa, is an inflammatory condition of bursa of the conjoined insertion of the sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus. We can locate this at the proximal medial aspect of the Knee, two inches below the medial knee joint line between the pes anserinus tendons.
The etiology of the pain most likely results from a complex interaction between structural changes secondary to osteoarthritis and peripheral en central pain processing mechanisms[2]. The etiologies of pes anserinus bursitis also include trauma such as a direct blow to this part of the knee. A contusion to this area results in an increased release of synovial fluid in the lining of the bursa. The bursa then becomes inflamed and tendered or painful[3].
