What attaches bones to bones and muscles to bones is called?
Bone to bone= ligament bone to muscle = tendon
Connective tissue that attaches bones to bones and muscles to bones?
Bone to Bone - Ligament Muscle to Bone - Tendon
Which muscle type is voluntary in action?
The skeletal muscle is the only type of muscle which is voluntary.
How do skeletal muscles attached to the skeleton?
Well, Skeletal Muscles attach to the skeleton by cartilage. Just imagine Cartilage as the glue to an art project.
What type of muscle attaches to the skeletal system and allows movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscles attach to the skeleton and allow movement. In contrast, smooth muscles are not under voluntary control.
What are the differences and similarities between muscles and ligaments and tendons?
Histologically they are generally the same however a ligament attaches two bones together and a tendon attaches a muscle to a bone.
What attaches skeletal muscles to bone?
Skeletal muscles can attach to bones directly and indirectly. A direct attachment is when the epimysium (the sheath of connective tissue surrounding the muscle fibre's exterior surface) sticks to and fuses with the periosteum (the connective tissue surrounding the exterior surface of the bone). An indirect attachment is when the epimysium extends beyond the muscle as a tendon and attaches to the periosteum of the bone. This attachment is more common in the human body than a direct attachment.
What is the purpose of ligaments?
the Ligament attaches bone to bone and the tendon attaches bone to muscles...my science book says that "cartilage and ligaments allow joints to move and keep bones together."
What muscles are the muscles that move bones?
These muscles are called "skeletal muscles".
What is the function of tendon?
Balls
What type of muscle attaches to the bone?
Very few, if any, skeletal muscles in the human body are not attached to bone at the origin or insertion. There are a few muscles which do not have 2 bony attachments, and instead are connected by tendinous sheaths to other muscles - the abdominal muscles come to mind. If we are talking all muscles, there are many - the heart, which is muscle, is not attached to bone. The smooth muscles in the vasculature, eyes, gut, esophagus, etc are not connected to bone. Depends on which muscle you mean. :) J. DeLaughter, DO
A strong connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone?
Tendons attach muscles to bones. An example is the Achilles tendon that attaches your calf muscle (gastrocnemius) to the bones in your foot.
