Why is bone anisotropic?

Bone is considered anisotropic because it responds differently if forces are applied in different directions. Bone can handle large forces applied in the longitudinal plane (tension and compression); bone is not as strong in handling forces applied transversely across its surface.The differences between the properties of the cancellous and cortical bone contribute to the anisotropy of the bone. Cancellous bone provides bending strength, and cortical bone provides significant compressive strength.


Shoulder girdle bone that articulates with and transmits forces to the bony thorax?

The clavicle is the only shoulder girdle bone that articulates with the sternum.ClavicleThe clavicle is part of the pectoral girdle and its proximal part articulates with the sternum.


Tendons are linked strongly to bones by?

Tendons (and ligaments) are attached and are extensions of the periostium of the bone. The periostium is a tough, fibrous outer layer of the bone which provides support to the calcified bone underneath and provides an anchoring structure for tendons and ligaments. The periosteal attachments are very strong, but can be torn by very strong forces and injury. These avulsion injuries are often very difficult to repair and may require surgical intervention.


Which is not a force?

There are four "fundamental forces": the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic forces, and gravity. Others might be discovered in the future, but until then, anything else is not a fundamental force.


If several forces act in different directions on a body - in which direction will the body move?

The object behaves as if there were a single force acting on it, which is the vector sum of the multiple forces.
