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 test makes use of a special hammer?
DTR testing or deep tendon reflex testing uses a reflex hammer to strike the tendon in an extremity checking for a response or the absence of a response when the muscle is stimulated by the hammer.
What is the longest ligament?
The longest Ligament found in the human body is the ligament of Plantaris. This muscle is relatively small and useless which makes this ligament even more usefull because it can be used to replace other ligaments if they are damaged. Plantaris attached from the bottom part od the femur (the Lateral Condyl tp be precise) and its lon tendon runs the entire length of the Leg (in anatomy the leg reffers only the the bottom part of the Lower Limb between the knee and the ankle) where it attaches to a tarsal bone called Calcaneous. The function of this muscle is therefore to Plantar Flex the Foot (pull it down) and a little to Flex the knee but there are several other much larger muscles that can easily take care of this so the removal of the ligament is not all that consequential.
What makes the muscle of the heart different from the muscle of the intestine?
it contracts rhythmically
What is the difference between an aponeurosis and a tendon?
They are basically the same thing......connecting muscles to bones but tendons are cord-like and aponeurosis is sheetlike.Describe the difference between a tendon and an aponeurosis
How does ligament strength increase?
what makes ligaments stronger?
What is a cardiac muscle tissue?
Cardiac muscle tissue is the specific muscle tissue that makes up the bulk of the heart. It is different than either skeletal or smooth muscle.
What connects to your muscles?
Muscles are attached by tendons (with a few exceptions). The muscles are attached to the tendons by a musculo-tendonious junction. The tendons are a part of the muscle that tapers off to a strong tendon. These tendons are what makes the fingers move and are so important in all movement of the body, ie, foot, mouth, elbow, hand and wrist.,,what makes these tendons work are impulses from the brain that sends a message to the muscle that the tendon is attached. This is called a motor function........makes sense doesn't it.
What type of tissue makes up a ligament?
Dense connective tissue
How do the different tissues of a chicken wing function together to produce movement?
The ligament and the cartilage combine together to make movement. One makes the movements and the other doesn't. And joints makes movements and also it called indolence.
What makes muscles cells different from other cells in the body?
Muscle cells have multiple nuclei
Are tendons lumps against the bone?
Not necessarily, tendons attach the muscle to the bone, so when your muscles contract they move your bones causing body movement, for example, your Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius (big outer calf muscle) and soleus (inner calf muscle) to your calcaneous (heel), and when they contract, you take a step. Now that is not all that makes you take a step, but you get the idea anyway.
