How are muscles bones and tendons related?

Bones provide support to the muscles and give them something to pull against. Muscles are able to contract and relax to provide movement. Tendons are a bit like strings, which allow a muscle to pull on a distant bone. For instance, the muscles which raise and lower your fingers are actually in your wrists, and you can see the tendons which pull your fingers on the back of your hand.


What connects to your muscles?

Muscles are attached by tendons (with a few exceptions). The muscles are attached to the tendons by a musculo-tendonious junction. The tendons are a part of the muscle that tapers off to a strong tendon. These tendons are what makes the fingers move and are so important in all movement of the body, ie, foot, mouth, elbow, hand and wrist.,,what makes these tendons work are impulses from the brain that sends a message to the muscle that the tendon is attached. This is called a motor function........makes sense doesn't it.
