attachment
Microbiology
(noun)
specific binding between viral capsid proteins and specific receptors on the host cellular surface
Psychology
Examples of attachment in the following topics:
-
Muscle Attachment Sites
- Tendons are composed of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
- Most skeletal muscle attaches to bone in order to produce movement.
- However, some skeletal muscle attaches directly to other muscles, fascia, or tissues such as the skin.
- Not all muscle attaches via tendons.
- Muscles can also attach directly to other tissues, which is most evident in the face.
-
Clavicle
- It functions to attach the upper arm to the trunk providing sufficient support to allow free movement around the shoulder.
- The shaft of the clavicle acts as the origin and attachment point for numerous muscles and ligaments.
- The costoclavicular ligament attaches to the inferior surface.
- Adjacent to this is the conoid tubercle which is an attachment point for the conoid ligament.
- Muscle attachment sites are highlighted.
-
Attachment Theory
- The development of parent-infant attachment is a complex process that leads to deeper and deeper attachment as the child ages.
- Bowlby conceived of four stages of attachment that begin during infancy: preattachment, attachment-in-the-making, clear-cut attachment, and formation of reciprocal relationships.
- When the caretaker picks up the baby or smiles at her, the beginnings of attachment are forming.
- Children who have secure attachment to parents are more likely to be successful adults.
- Discuss the contributions of Bowlby, Ainsworth, and Harlow to attachment theory
-
Muscles of the Wrist and Hand
- It attaches to the mid region of the radius.
- Attachments - Originates from the ulna and attaches to the radius.
- Attachments - Originates from the humerus and attaches to the ulna.
- Together they attach to the radius.
- Attachments - Originates from a tendon of attached to the flexor digitorum profundus of the forearm, each attaching to an individual finger
-
Reactive Attachment Disorder
- RAD arises from a failure to form normal attachments to primary caregivers in early childhood.
- Mainstream treatment and prevention programs that target RAD and other problematic early attachment behaviors are based on attachment theory.
- Children need sensitive and responsive caregivers to develop secure attachments.
- RAD arises from a failure to form normal attachments to primary caregivers in early childhood.
- Summarize the diagnostic criteria, etiology, and treatment of reactive attachment disorder
-
Muscles that Cause Movement at the Foot
- Attachments - Originates from the heel and attaches to the toes.
- Attachments - Originates from the fibula and attaches to the big toe.
- Attachments - Originates from the heel and attaches to the big toe.
- Attachments - Originates from the heel and attaches to the little toe.
- Attaches to the toes.
-
Attachment and Entry of Herpes Simplex
- Herpes simplex virus attaches to a host's cells with viral envelope glycoproteins, which then allows entry of the viral capsid into the host cell.
- The genome encodes for 11 different glycoproteins, four of which, gB, gC, gD and gH, are involved in viral attachment.
- The receptor provides a strong, fixed attachment to the host cell.
- Herpes simplex virus attaches to host cell surface receptors using glycoproteins.
- Following attachment, the viral envelope fuses with the host cell membrane and the viral capsid gains entry into the cell.
-
Neck Muscles
- It originates from the mandible and attaches to the hyoid bone.
- Attachments – Originates from the upper spine and attaches to the skull.
- Attachments - Originates from the spine and attaches several vertebrae higher.
- Attachments -Originates from the common tendon and attaches to the ribs and lower neck.
- It attaches to the clavicle and scapula.
-
HIV Attachment and Host Cell Entry
- The attachment and fusion of HIV virons to host cells are crucial to HIV infection.
- After attachment, the HIV viron must next fuse with the host cell.
- The first step in fusion begins after the attachment of the CD4 binding domains of gp120 to CD4.
- Because HIV attachment is critical for the HIV replication cycle, understanding the specific mechanisms through which HIV attachment occurs has implications for potential treatments of HIV.

-
Posterior Muscles
- It attaches to the clavicle and scapula.
- The muscle converges into a tendon attaching to the humerus.
- Attachments – Originates from the spine in the upper back and attaches to the scapula inferior to the levator scapulae attachment.
- Attachments - Originates from the spine and attaches to ribs 9 through 12.
- Attachments – Originates from the upper spine and attaches to the skull.
