What is the ligamentum nuchae?
357575
The ligamentum nuchae is that well-developed portion of the supraspinous ligament in the cervical region. It runs from the external occipital protuberance along the tips of the spinous processes of the cervical vertebrae, to the tip of the spinous process of the vertebra prominens (usually C7). The supraspinous ligament can be considered the superficial continuation of the interspinous ligament. This latter ligament runs between the adjacent vertebrae extending from the base to the tip of each spinous process. The ligamentum nuchae is formed primarily from the aponeurotic attachments of the adjacent and subjacent musculature. From superficial to deep, these muscles are the trapezius; rhomboideus minor; splenius capitis; and the serratus posterior superior.

Ligaments are the stringy, strong "ropes" that attach the muscle to the bone.  \n\nI don't know what happens when they are damaged.  Sounds painful if they are damaged.

All of the above are well understood, it's just that skeletal and cardiac mucsle are more complicated, therefore there is more information on them.  Smooth muscle contraction can function solely on its intrinsic plexus, its built-in nervous system that only receives fine tuning from the para and sympathetic nervous systems.  It even has its own immune system, Peyer's Patches for example.

tendon of Biceps brachii located on radius. Ulner collateral ligament located at juncture of ulna and humerus bones. annular ligament located at junture of fadius and humerus bones.  oblique cord joining ulna and radius.\ntendons:  flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor digitorum profundus, lateral epicondyle, medial epicondyle,extender radialis brevis, extensor carpi radialis longus. there are many more.\nthis gives a general idea.

Chordae Tendinae are Cord-like tendons that supports the Tricuspid Valve(right) and the Mitral Valve(left). They are connected to papillary muscles, which limit movements of those valves.

Syringomyelia (sear-IN-go-my-EEL-ya) is a disorder in which a cyst or tubular cavity forms within the spinal cord. This cyst, called a syrinx, expands and elongates over time, destroying the center of the spinal cord. Since the spinal cord connects the brain to nerves in the extremities, this damage results in pain, weakness, and stiffness in the back, shoulders, arms, or legs.

Synovial joints have a dense fibrous capsule which may be reinforced by ligaments and muscles.\n\nSynovial fluid is a thick, stringy fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg-like consistency (synovial comes from Latin for "egg"), synovial fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage and other tissues in joints to lubricate and cushion them during movement.

What is the medial collateral ligament?\nThe medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of four ligaments that are critical to the stability of the knee joint. A ligament is made of tough fibrous material and functions to control excessive motion by limiting joint mobility. The four major stabilizing ligaments of the knee are the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL, respectively), and the medial and lateral collateral ligaments (MCL and LCL, respectively). \nThe medial collateral ligament spans the distance from the end of the femur (thigh bone) to the top of the tibia (shin bone) and is on the inside of the knee joint. The medial collateral ligament resists widening of the inside of the joint, or prevents "opening-up" of the knee. \n\nHow is the medial collateral ligament injured?\nBecause the medial collateral ligament resists widening of the inside of the knee joint, the MCL is usually injured when the outside of the knee joint is struck. This action causes the outside of the knee to buckle, and the inside to widen. When the medial collateral ligament is stretched too far, it is susceptible to tearing and injury. This is the injury seen by the action of "clipping" in a football game. \n\nAn injury to the medial collateral ligament may occur as an isolated injury, or it may be part of a complex injury to the knee. Other ligaments, most commonly the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), or the meniscus (cartilage), may be torn along with a medial collateral ligament injury.

Rugae is a term used in anatomy that refers to a series of ridges produced by folding of the wall of an organ. Most commonly the term is applied to the internal surface of the stomach. The stomach rugae may be seen during esophagogastroduodenoscopy or in radiological studies. They allow for stomach expansion after ingestion of food.\n\nOther locations that rugae appear in humans:\n\nWrinkles of the scrotum \nInterior walls of the vagina \nHard palate immediately behind the upper anterior teeth \nBladder

If it is swollen, it might be a sprain. If it is swollen and purple, it may be torn ligaments. If it is just sore, it may just be a sprain or a pull. If you are able to walk, I'd just be careful with it until it heals. If it's very painful or there's a lot of swelling, have the doctor check it out.
