What joins muscle to bone?
Tendons connect muscle to bone. Ligaments connect cartilages or bone to bone (joints).
Tendons are structures in the body that perform which function?
Tendons are fibrous connective tissues that connect muscle to bone, transmitting the force generated by muscle contraction to move the bone. They help facilitate movement and provide stability to joints in the body.
Muscle is attached to bone by what method?
Muscle is attached to bone by tendons, which are strong, fibrous tissues that connect muscle to bone. Tendons are composed of collagen fibers and transmit the force generated by muscle contraction to move the bone. This attachment allows the muscular system to work in conjunction with the skeletal system to produce movement.
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.
Which of your cells would you expect to have more mitochondriz your muscle cells or your bone cells?
Muscle cells are very active relatively to the skin cell. So it has more mitochondria
The bone at the end of a muscle attachment that does not move during muscle contraction is called the?
Tendon! it just connects the bone to the muscle
When the muscle contracts what happens to the tendon and bone?
When the muscle contracts, the tendon pulls on the bone to create movement. The tendon is the connective tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone, so when the muscle contracts, it exerts force on the tendon, which in turn moves the bone.
What if a bone had only one muscle attached to it?
muscles can only pull so a bone with only one muscle on it would be pulled to the extreme of the muscles contraction and stay there.
What is the muscle attachment joined to the less movable part?
The muscle attachment that is joined to the less movable part is known as the origin. The origin is typically located on a stable bone, allowing the muscle to exert force effectively when it contracts. In contrast, the more movable attachment point is called the insertion, where the muscle exerts its action during contraction. This arrangement allows for efficient movement and stabilization of joints.

Where does the muscle attach to the bone?
Where a muscle attaches to a bone is at the origin and insertion points. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable) attachment point and the the insertion is the movable attachment point. During contraction the insertion moves towards the origin. HOW a muscle attaches to a bone is through tendons.
What is the primary determinant of how much force a muscle can generate?
The main factor that determines the power of the muscle is the total number of muscle cells available for contraction.
What is the relatively fixed point of a muscle's attatchment to a bone called?
The relatively fixed point of a muscle's attachment to a bone is called the origin. It is typically located closer to the body's midline and usually remains stationary during muscle contraction.
What is the immovable part of muscle bundles?
The immovable part of muscle bundles is called the origin. This point is where the muscle attaches to a stationary bone or structure, providing a stable anchor during muscle contraction. In contrast, the other end of the muscle, known as the insertion, attaches to a movable bone, allowing for movement when the muscle contracts.
What is it called when a muscle becomes shorter and pulls one bone toward another?
When a muscle becomes shorter and pulls one bone toward another, it is called contraction. During contraction, the muscle fibers shorten and generate tension, allowing for movement of the skeletal system. This process is essential for various bodily functions, including locomotion and maintaining posture.
What do action potentials travel down to cause muscle contraction?
Axon of neuron, sarcolemma, and T-tubules.
