What is the difference between a pulled ligament and a pulled muscle?
The difference between a pulled ligament and a pulled muscle is the connection of the tissue to the bone. A ligament is the tissue that connects bone to another bone. Such as a ligament connecting your forearm to your upper arm, in order to help your muscle bring up your forearm. Muscle, on the other hand, is the tissue that contracts and detracts for the reaction of movement in your body. The muscle contains ligament(s) on at least one end of it. When the muscle contracts, what ever bone it is attached to, reacts in movement of a limb. For example, the muscle in your upper arm (called biceps) contracts very often. When it contracts, the force that the muscle is exerting on your forearm becomes energy. Thus, in form of lifting a weight, picking something up, ect. Pulling a muscle/ligament isn't any different, it's just an over-stretching. The association between the two are what really make them diverse.
