Seisamoids
Sesamoid bones act as pulleys to reduce friction and increase the mechanical efficiency of tendons. They also help protect tendons from excessive wear and tear. Sesamoid bones are commonly found in locations where tendons pass over joints.
Ligaments and Tendons are cartilage. Ligaments connect bones to bones and Tendons connect muscles to bones.
The patella (kneecap) is the largest and most commonly recognized sesamoid bone in the human body. In addition, some people also have sesamoid bones in their hands, feet, and near the joints of the thumb and big toe. These sesamoid bones help to protect tendons and improve their mechanical advantage during movement.
No. They attach muscles to bones. Ligaments attach bones to bones.
tendons
Muscles are attached to bones by way of tendons so tendons help you move your bones (body).
Ligaments connect bones to bones. Tendons connect bones to muscle.
Muscles are attached by tendons and ligaments to bones.
Tendons attach muscles to bones.
Without tendons, you wouldn't be able to move your bones effectively. Tendons are crucial in connecting muscles to bones and transferring the force generated by the muscles. Without tendons, your muscles wouldn't be able to move your bones, leading to immobility and loss of function.
tendons tendons grasp onto bones holding the bones in place so when the muscles move, the bones will also move
