What is fascia and capsular tissue are most similar to?
Tendons and Ligaments
Why do bones heal faster than ligaments and tendons?
Ligaments and tendons do not "heal" per se. They need to be operated on to repair them. Bones heal because they have the ability to repair and grow themselves more so than ligaments and tendons.
Why is ligament repair necessary when you have a severe dislocation and sprain?
ligaments connect bones to bones. in a severe dislocation the ligaments were most likely torn and damaged
What does a ligament connect?
There are three types of ligaments.Articular ligaments: Fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones. They are sometimes called "articular larua, "fibrous ligaments", or "true ligaments".Peritoneal ligaments: A fold of peritoneum or other membranes.Fetal remnant ligaments: The remnants of a tubular structure from the fetal period of life.The first term is the one most commonly intended when using the word "ligament". This article briefly handles peritoneal and fetal remnant ligaments before focusing on articular legments
Why are the most common sports injuries to the muscles tendons ligaments and bones of the human body?
Most likely leg sprains and broken bones.
Are the most common sports injuries to the muscles tendons ligaments and bones of the human body?
Most likely leg sprains and broken bones.
What attaches bones to bones and joints to bones?
Ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia, cartilage and skin all play a part in securing bones to bones and muscles to bones. However, most bones are connected to other bones by ligaments, and muscles are connected to bones by tendons.Ligament attaches bones to bones. Tendon attaches muscle to bones.
What body part is most flexible?
Some parts of the body for example the skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscle are elastic
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.
Why do most sports injuries result in damage to ligaments and tendons?
alomost all of them involve jumping or your legs and knees and other parts p.s stay in school :)
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 attach bones at joint?
connective tissue or tendons (tough bands of muscles). Most muscles are attached behind the bone to the joint. Hope it helped :3
