The contraction of a muscle exerts a pull on a bone because?
the muscle is attached to the bone via tendons, which transmit the force generated by the muscle contraction to the bone. This pull causes the bone to move, allowing for various types of body movements like walking or lifting objects.
What is the strong tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone?
Ligaments attach muscle to bone. Tendons connect bone to bone.
How do tendons relate to movement?
Tendons attach muscle to bone.
Tendons attach what?
Tendons attach muscle to bone Ligaments attach bone to bone
What connects bone and muscles together?
Tendons (muscle to bone)Ligament (bone to bone)
What are muscles attached to bone by?
tendons
Are tendons bone to bone or muscle to bone?
No, it is a very tough, fibrous material that connects muscle to bone.
What does not join bone to bone?
tendons
How are muscles bones and tendons related?
Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. When muscles contract, they pull on the tendons, which in turn pull on the bones to create movement at the joints. This coordinated effort allows for various body movements and functions.
Do tendons attach to muscle and muscle attaches to bone?
Tendons attach muscle to bone, muscles do not attach to bone.
What attaches your muscle to your bones?
Tendons attach muscle to bone (whereas ligaments attach bone to bone).
To what special bone group does patella bone belong?
The patella bone belongs to the sesamoid bone group. Sesamoid bones are small bones embedded within tendons that provide mechanical advantage by altering the direction of pull of the muscle. The patella (kneecap) is the largest sesamoid bone in the body and plays a key role in knee function.
