To what special bone group does patella bone belong?

It is a sesamoid bone. This type develops in certain tendons where there is considerable friction, tension, and physical stress. Functionally, they protect tendons from excessive wear and tear, and they often change the direction of pull of a tendon, which improves the mechanical advantage of a joint.


How do you reattach tendons to bone?

They make an incision, pull the detached muscle into place, lace sutures through the tendon, drill holes into the bone, and then they anchor the sutures into the bone. Then they immobilize the affected appendage. The duration of immobilization depends on which tendon was reattached. Typically, immobilization ceases after 4-12 weeks, and then several weeks to several months of physical therapy ensues.


What is the name when a bone chip still attached to the tendon has pulled away from your hip bone?

This condition is commonly known as an avulsion fracture, where a small piece of bone breaks off due to the pull of a tendon or ligament. In the case of the hip bone, it may be referred to as an avulsion fracture of the greater trochanter. Treatment typically involves rest, immobilization, and sometimes surgery.


What insertion tendon of what group contains a large sesamoid bone the patella?

The quadriceps group contains the patella, a large sesamoid bone, within its insertion tendon. The patella enhances the mechanical advantage of the quadriceps muscles by increasing the angle of pull and providing protection to the knee joint during movements.


Why the foot cannot be pulled down if the Achilles tendon is totally torn?

When the Achilles tendon is totally torn, the connection between the calf muscles and the heel bone is lost. This connection is necessary for the foot to be able to be pulled down, as it is responsible for plantarflexion (pointing the foot downward). Without an intact Achilles tendon, the calf muscles lose their ability to pull on the heel bone, resulting in the inability to move the foot downward.

What is the difference between and a avulsion fracture and a fracture?

An avulsion fracture is when you pull a ligament or tendon from a bone and a piece of that bone comes with it. It is not actually a "fracture". A fracture is a break.

What kind of muscle pull on bones to produce movement?

all muscles pull on bones to create movement, since muscles are contractile and bone is rigid. the muscle attaches to the bone via the tendon.

What are the loose cords that attach muscles to bones?

Tough cord of dense connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. If the muscle is thin and wide, the tendon may be a thin sheet. Tendons transfer muscle power over a distance, e.g., forearm muscles contract and pull on tendons that pull on finger bones to produce finger movements.
