A muscle pull happens when muscles are overworked or over stretched
What are the loose cords that attach muscles to bones?
Tough cord of dense connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. If the muscle is thin and wide, the tendon may be a thin sheet. Tendons transfer muscle power over a distance, e.g., forearm muscles contract and pull on tendons that pull on finger bones to produce finger movements.
What kind of muscle pull on bones to produce movement?
all muscles pull on bones to create movement, since muscles are contractile and bone is rigid. the muscle attaches to the bone via the tendon.

What is a pennate muscle?
Pennate MusclesIn a pennate muscle, the fascicles form a common angle with the tendon. Because the muscle cells pull at an angle, contracting pennate muscles do not move their tendons as far as parallel muscles do. But a pennate muscle contains more muscle fibers--and, as a result, produces more tension--than does a parallel muscle of the same size. (Tension production is proportional to the number of contracting sarcomeres; the more muscle fibers, the more myofibrils and sarcomeres.)
