What tissue connects bones to bones?
The tissue that connects bone to bone are called ligaments. They are responsible for providing stability to a joint. Cartilage, and ligaments make up the "connective tissue". And also Tendons (sinew), Auductive and Conductive Muscles and a decent argument for Joint Cartillage.
What is the difference between a muscle and a tendon?
Muscles,tendons,and bones are related because tendons connect muscle to bone and ligaments connect bone to bone.Tendons connect your muscles to your skeleton so that your muscles will make the bones move to were you need it to go.
Why are ligaments the most important?
Tendons are very strong ropelike structures. They gradually arise from muscles. The power of muscles are transmitted by tendons. Muscles will take a larger area for origin or insertion. Tendons make the area dramatically less.
How do muscles make movement possible.?
It isn't just muscles, but the interaction between muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and the bones that permit movement. In muscles only, it's contraction and relaxation, but without the rest involved, the muscles would not result in purposeful movements.
How are ligaments and cartilage functionally similar in joints?
No, tendons are not the same as ligaments. Unfortunately, I was absent a long time ago when my class learned about that. So here is something:People often talk about tendons and ligaments as if they are the same thing, but these two types of soft tissue actually perform different functions for the body.A tendon connects muscle to bone. These tough, yet flexible, bands of fibrous tissue attach to the skeletal muscles that move your bones. Tendons essentially enable one to move since they act as intermediaries between the muscles creating the motion of the bones.I'd say the most famous tendon is the Achilles tendon (named after the character Brad Pitt played in the movie Troy) which connects the muscles of your calf to your heel. Also, if you watch the tops of your hands while you type, you can see your tendons at work. Pretty cool, huh?So what's a ligament? If you want to know then read moreLigaments are similar to tendons, but they connect bone to bone and help to stabilize joints. They are composed mostly of long, stringy collagen fibers creating short bands of tough fibrous connective tissue.Ligaments are slightly elastic, so they can be stretched to gradually lengthen increasing flexibility. Athletes and dancers stretch their ligaments to make their joints more supple, and to prevent injury.Here's a cool fact: The term double-jointed refers to people who have more elastic ligaments.You might have heard of some of the ligaments found in the knee since they often tear, especially the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) when skiing. In fact four ligaments connect the tibia (shin bone) to the femur (thigh bone) to provide structure for the knee.
What major organ make up the skeletal system?
1) bones 2) cartilage 3) tendons 4) ligaments
How does a humans muscles and bones work together to make humans jump?
Your brain sends out information through chemicals that travel down nerve cells in your body. These chemicals reach your muscles and "tell" them to contract. Because tendons and ligaments hold bones and muscles together, when the muscles contract, the bones move with them. That's why if you jump while holding the upper part of your thigh, your muscle tissue will seem firmer.
What are the benefits of warming up?
Warming up your muscles, ligaments and tendons will make them less susceptible to injury once you start exercising.
What tissue is attached to muscles and moves the skeleton?
Tendons are used to attach muscles to bones which will the move the bones. Tendons are a form of connective tissue. To make things somewhat confusing is the term ligaments which are exactly the same tissue but they attach bone to bone. I used to use these mnemonics: Tinkerbell Chirped Meanwhile Toto Barked. (TCMTB) Lambs Chuckled Because Tarzan Belched. (LCBTB)
What is the three reasons you have bones?
If you did not have bones, you could not do anything. Bones support your muscles and your tendons and make it possible for you to move. Bones also protect your internal organs.
What are Organs made up of groups of?
Groups of organs make up organ systems. One example is bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments that make up the musculoskeletal system. Another would be the heart, veins, arteries and capillaries which make up the cardiovascular system.
What is the name of the hip girdle?
Your ankle bone and the ends of your two lower leg bones make up the ankle joint. Your ligaments, which connect bones to one another, stabilize and support it. Your muscles and tendons move it. The most common ankle problems are sprains and fractures. A sprain is an injury to the ligaments. It may take a few weeks to many months to heal completely. A fracture is a break in a bone. You can also injure other parts of the ankle such as tendons, which join muscles to bone, and cartilage, which cushions your joints. Ankle sprains and fractures are common sports injuries
