Why is the fibula nicknamed the calf bone?
Because it is the bone that your calf muscle attaches to.
Why does your muscles hold your bone because the brain can control your bone.?
The brain does not control your bones, your bones are more or less static. They are moved by muscle contraction, which is triggered by electrical signals sent from your brain. The fact that your bones are connected to flexible joints is what allows your muscles to move them.
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.
Define the attachment points of muscle to bone?
A tendon connects bone to muscle and a ligament connects bone to bone. The actual point of attachment where a muscle connects to a bone is called the process(n) of the bone.
Connects muscle to bone?
no ligaments join bone to bone , also tendons join muscle to bone.
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
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.
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 do action potentials travel down to cause muscle contraction?
Axon of neuron, sarcolemma, and T-tubules.
What term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?
The attachment of the muscle that is on the moving bone is known as the insertion. In contrast, the origin is the attachment of the muscle on the non-moving bone.
What affect joint stability?
3 factors 1) type of bone 2) position and strength of ligaments 3) contraction of muscle
Why is the fibula nicknamed the calf bone?
Because it is the bone that your calf muscle attaches to.
How does the skeletal system and the nervous system work with each other?
the connection between the two is like this. the nervous system sends the signal to the skeletal muscle to contract. This contraction causes the muscle to pull the bone, and the bone bends. This would mean that the movement of the skeleton is caused by nervous system which triggers the skeletal muscle to move the skeleton.
Bone and muscle of the cell?
Cells comprise bone and muscle, they do not have bone and muscle in them.
Why does your muscles hold your bone because the brain can control your bone.?
The brain does not control your bones, your bones are more or less static. They are moved by muscle contraction, which is triggered by electrical signals sent from your brain. The fact that your bones are connected to flexible joints is what allows your muscles to move them.
What attaches to the bone and muscle?
tendons:bones to muscle ligaments:bonr to bone
