Well, Tendons help us walk, so you wouldn't be able to walk.

Why are tendons found in a joint?

Tendons are found in joints because they attach muscles to bones, transmitting the force generated by muscle contraction to move the joint. This connection allows for coordinated movement and stability in the joint.


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.


How many bones and tendons are contained in the wrist and hand?

27 bones. Each of the 4 medial fingers (thats any finger other than your thumb) has 3 phallenges, so you would have 12 phallenges. Plus 2 phallenges of the thumb that's 14. We also have 5 metacarpals in each hand. The sum now is 19. With 8 carpals connecting the wrist to the hand we would have 27 bones in our hand and wrist!


Ligaments that connect bones are anchored to the?

the answer would be bones ligaments join bones together bonesMuscles, tendons, ligaments and joints all work together to produce movement due to the fact that they are all attached.


Why are tendons inelastic?

the role of a tendon involves connecting muscle to bone.it is important that these structures do not stretch because skeletal alignments would be in danger, without the firm attachments of a tendon to a bone, joints wouldn't move. the contraction and flexing of muscle without firm tendons attachment would cause the bones to dislocate from the joints in our skeleton

How are tendons important for bone movement?

Tendons are connective tissues that attach muscles to bones. They play a crucial role in bone movement by transmitting the force generated by the muscles to the bones, causing them to move. Without tendons, the force produced by the muscles would not be effectively transferred to the bones, impairing movement.


How a muscles attach to a bones?

Musclesare connected tobonesby tendons, whereas bones are connected to bonesby ligaments.Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the control of the somatic nervous system ; that is to say, it is voluntarily controlled. It is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac and smooth muscle . As their name suggests, most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons .


What would happen if you did not have muscles attached to your bones?

What would happen if muscles were not attached to the bones?

You would not be able to move those bones and would not be able to do anything.


How are muscles connected with muscles?

This question isn't very clear but I think I know what you are trying to ask... In the body, muscles are not attached to each other, but they are attached to the bone structure. Without bones, muscles would not stay in the shape of your are for example, instead it would shrivel into a lump every time you tried to use it.


Why are tendons more susceptible to injuries then muscles?

They lack the elastic component of muscles and are more likely to rupture or tear while encountering a force exceeding their physiological limitations than muscles are. Keep in mind tendons are composed primarily of tough collagen and not 'pliable/stretchy fibers.' Injuries to tendons also take longer to heal due to their limited vasculature (require less blood to function than muscles).


What would happen if tendons stretch?

you would die


What system do strains affect?

Strains usually involve the muscular system affecting tendons attached to muscles and bones. They can just involve the ligaments which are connective tissues holding bones together. In this case it would be only the skeletal system.


Where would you find a sesamoid bone?

Sesamoid bones are typically found embedded within the tendons of certain muscles, such as the patella (kneecap) and the sesamoid bones in the tendons of the big toe. They act to protect the tendon and increase its mechanical efficiency.

Tendons are found in joints because they attach muscles to bones, transmitting the force generated by muscle contraction to move the joint. This connection allows for coordinated movement and stability in the joint.
