What term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?
The term that identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on is called the "insertion." This is typically the more movable attachment of the muscle, as opposed to the origin which is the less movable attachment site.
What must a muscle do to move a bone?
the muscles are around or next to the bones, the contracting of muscles enables the bones to move. for example the muscles in your arm, when you move your arm up, the muscle underneath the bone contract (tighten) to push the bone upwards.
What moves the bone?
Basically it's muscle. The brain sends the electrical impulse through the nervous system to the muscle(s) required to perform a certain task. The muscles receive the electrical impulses causing them to contract. Tendons connect muscles to bone, which allow the muscle's movement to pull the bone in the way you desire, allowing the body to move. Summary: Brain sends electrical signal to muscle, muscle tightens, pulls tendon which pulls bone.
How does the muscular system interact with skeletal system to create movement?
Muscles are attached to tendons which connect to bones. When a skeletal muscle contracts, it pulls on the tendon which in turn pulls on the bone, causing it to move.
What must a muscle do in order to move a bone?
In order to move a bone, a muscle must contract and exert force.
What are the main function of the muscle?
the muscle are to move the bone.
How can a muscle make a bone move?
Muscles are attached to the bones. When a muscle contrast ,it applies a force to the bone it's attached to,which makes the bone move.
What moves the bone in your skeleton?
Muscles attached to the bones are responsible for moving them. When a muscle contracts, it pulls on the bone it is attached to, causing it to move. This allows for a wide range of movements in the body.
When the muscles move the tendon pulls at the bone what happens?
Movement
Why is a pair of muscles required to move a bone?
Strictly speaking, it's not. It's just that, having moved it using one muscle, you might want to be able to move it back to where it was before, in which case you'll probably need a muscle that pulls the opposite direction.
Connects muscle to bone?
no ligaments join bone to bone , also tendons join muscle to bone.
Why do muscles need bones in order for the body to move?
AnswerThough not all muscles work in pairs, the general principle is that one muscle moves a bone one way, and the other muscle moves it the opposite way. Why? Because muscles can only pull, not push.For example, when you bend your arm, the biceps muscle pulls. When you want to straighten it, the biceps muscle cannot push it back. Instead, the triceps muscle that's on the back of the arm pulls in the other direction.
