Seisamoids
Ligaments and Tendons are cartilage. Ligaments connect bones to bones and Tendons connect muscles to bones.
Yes, sesamoid bones are small, round bones that typically develop within certain tendons, particularly those associated with the joints. They help reduce friction, improve the mechanical advantage of muscles, and protect the tendons from stress. The most well-known example is the patella (kneecap), which is a sesamoid bone located in the tendon of the quadriceps muscle. Other sesamoid bones can be found in the hands and feet, such as near the big toe.
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
