Tendons connect muscles to bones. It is important not to confuse tendons with ligaments which connect two bones together.

What kind of tissue attaches bones to bones and muscles to bones?
An easy way to remember this for your A&P exam is that (B)one to Bone comes alphabetically before (M)uscle to bone. Since we know that the answers are ligaments and tendons, we remember that (L)igament comes alphabetically before (T)endon, and so Bone to Bone is Ligament and Muscle to Bone is Tendon. Hope this helps. Of course there are other sorts of connective tissues in the body, but the bones and muscles are primarily connected by Ligaments and Tendons.
Have scientists been able to identify dinosaur blood or muscle tissue?
No,because bloods and tissues were decaying when the dinosaur Dead--Juan Paulo Dioso BanaresPossibly. A well-preserved T. rex bone found in 2000 was placed in weak acid, which slowly dissolves bone, including fossilised bone. Soft tissue is not affected by the acid, and a fragment of this was discovered when the mineral bone had dissolved. Inside are round, red microstructures that researchers believe may be red blood cells. Scientists had previously assumed that soft tissue would not survive over a period of millions of years. Apparently, the fossilisation of the bone preserved the soft tissue inside. The researchers have since found probable blood vessels, bone-building cells and connective tissue in another T. rex bone and other fossil bones. Perhaps the soft tissue preservation process within intact fossilised bone was something like a food cannery, only better. However, no muscle tissue has been found.
What happens to unexercised muscle instead of turning into fat?
It atrophies. Muscle can\'t turn inot fat anymore than bone can become blood.
What are the major parts of skeletal muscle fiber?
It is put here short and sweet. 1. Marrow 2. Calcified Bone 3. Periosteum 4. Spongy Bone 5. Cartilage TENDONS attach the MUSCLE to the BONE.Like the stringy thing in a chicken
What do action potentials travel down to cause muscle contraction?
Axon of neuron, sarcolemma, and T-tubules.
What is the name of the bone in a t-bone steak?
it is called a t-bone for its t shape. The meat around it is the steak.
What is the molecular composition of troponin?
Troponin is a major component of muscle tissue. It is composed of troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T. Troponin interacts with tropomyosin and myosin to create muscle contraction.
Why do tendons need to be quite strong?
AnswerTendons attach bone to muscles. Ligaments attach bone to bone. :) If tendons do not stretch I believe the muscle would tear!do you mean if tendons do stretch
What is the similarities of a T-bone and New York steak?
a T-bone ha a bone in it thats shaped like a t
How are killer-t cells transported throughout the body?
They originate in bone marrow then migrate to the thymus gland. There, they get an antigen marker. They are then released into peripheral tissue.
What is the difference between porterhouse steak and t-bone steak?
The Porterhouse steak and T-bone steak get often mixed up. Although from almost the same anatomical place of the bovine, the Porterhouse steak consists of the tenderloin muscle which is larger than in the T-bone steak, and a further muscle in the top center of the steak. ------------------------------------------- A Porterhouse is an "over-sized" steak coming from the point where the tenderloin and top loin meet. The porterhouse is thicker cut and has much more of the tenderloin relative to the loin portion than the T-Bone steak. If you remove the bone and cut out the two steaks that basically make up a porterhouse, you will get a tenderloin steak and a top loin steak. You need to be hungry to get through a Porterhouse!
Why is muscle excitable tissue?
Muscle is excitable because it can be stimulated in order to cause contraction. Stimulation comes from the nervous system via electric signals/action potential that travels from neuron through axon to muscle tissue.In-depth Details:Neuron sends action potential down its axonOnce reaching the muscle tissue, the action potential stimulates release of Ach (acetylcholine)Ach crosses the synapse and binds to a muscle fiber (cell of muscle tissue),This stimulates action potential on the sacrolemma (plasma membrane of muscle cell)Action potential travels on the sacrolemma until it reaches a T-tubuleAction goes down the T-tubule and into the muscle fiberThis stimulates release of Ca2+ (calcium) from the sarcolemmaCa2+ binds with troponinWhich stimulates tropomyosin to move out of the way so that actin and myosin can interactIf ATP is available from mitochondria in muscle fiber, cross-bridge cycle occursContraction of muscle stops when the muscle is no longer stimulated from the nervous system
