What is the job of a tendon?
A tendon is a tissue made up of collagen that is flexible and attaches muscle to bone. Tendons are very strong and inelastic.
What makes up the diaphram?
The diaphragm is composed of muscle and tendon in the shape of a dome and anchored to the spine and ribs.
What is the best stretch for the Achilles tendon?
You are actually stretching the gastrocnemius muscle from which the Achilles tendon comes from. The best stretch is to put you toes angled up towards a wall with your heel on the ground and to lean into the wall. You should feel a stretch up into your calf muscle (gastrocnemius) as well as in your Achilles.
The Golgi tendon organ GTO muscle spindle and Pacinian corpuscles make up the three primary?
Inhibitory proprioceptors
Can you walk after a cut Achilles tendon?
Most likely not. When your Achilles tendon is cut, your calf muscle will probably jump up behind your knee. As you can imagine, this is not very comfortable. Plus, you will be losing a lot of blood.
What is the smooth muscle that causes your hair to stand up?
arrector pili muscle
What causes soreness in my Achilles tendon?

Why are tendons important to a muscle's ability to move a bone?
Tendons are merely the end parts of muscles - at either end, generally comprising tough connective tissue that is also continuous throughout the muscle bounding the muscle and holding it together throughout. Effectively, each muscle acts over a joint and possesses 2 ends; these ends are the tendinous parts of the muscle - or tendons. One tendon is attached to one bone of the joint over which the muscle acts, the other tendon attaches to the other bone involved - the bones, in this sense, act as levers - the 'fulcrum' or pivoting point being the joint arrangement itself, which is between the 2 tendons of the muscle arrangement. A ready Example might be the [frontal] 'quadriceps' muscle at the front of the knee: The muscle tendon at the upper end of the body attaches to the large femur (upper leg) bone. The tendon at the lower end attaches to the lower leg bone or tibia, but at its upper end (just below the knee cap). The large quad muscles contract in length such that they bulk out at the front as a result; and this contraction or shortening of length of the muscle at the front of the knee joint causes the leg to be straightened out. Many tendons are found in and around joints and also assist in the stabilization of the joint.
