What else can I help you with?
A tendon connects one bone to another true or false?
The answer is False. The tendon Connects muscle to the bone.
What joins bones to bones?
A Ligament or sometimes a Joint or a tendon Attaches a Bone to another Bone. A Tendon attaches a Bone to a Muscle.
What bursae are found where one tendon overlies another tendon?
what bursae is found when one tendon crosses another tendon
What dense connective tissue attaches muscle to bone?
Skeletal muscle is the type attached to bones.
What are fibrous bands that connect muscle to bones?
A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone. A tendon is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments and fascia as they are both made of collagen, except that ligaments join one bone to another bone, and fascia connect muscles to other muscles. Tendons and muscles work together and can only exert a pulling force. At each end of a muscle, the collagen fibers come together to form a bundle of fibers called a tendon that attaches them to bones. If it forms a broad tendinous sheet it is called an aponeurosis.
What type of tissue attaches one bone to another?
Ligaments are the types of tissues that attach one bone to another in the human body. These fibrous connective tissues provide stability and strength to joints by holding the bones together.
Broad flat sheet of a tendon that attaches one skeletal muscle to another?
An aponeurosis is a broad flat sheet of connective tissue that serves as a tendon to attach muscles to one another or to bones. It helps distribute the force of muscular contractions over a broad area, providing strength and support. Aponeuroses are commonly found in anatomical locations where large and powerful muscles need to attach or wrap around bones.
How are tendons associated with the muscular system?
It is the tough, fibrous tendons that actually attach the muscle to the bones of the skeleton. Generally, tendons attach to at least two different bones to create a lever for the muscles to act upon - the tendons at one end of the muscle belly being attached to one bone, and at the other end, the tendon/s attaches to the other bone. The fibrous tissue surrounding the muscle is all continuous with the tendon at each end.
Why are tendons important to a muscle's ability to move a bone?
Tendons are merely the end parts of muscles - at either end, generally comprising tough connective tissue that is also continuous throughout the muscle bounding the muscle and holding it together throughout. Effectively, each muscle acts over a joint and possesses 2 ends; these ends are the tendinous parts of the muscle - or tendons. One tendon is attached to one bone of the joint over which the muscle acts, the other tendon attaches to the other bone involved - the bones, in this sense, act as levers - the 'fulcrum' or pivoting point being the joint arrangement itself, which is between the 2 tendons of the muscle arrangement. A ready Example might be the [frontal] 'quadriceps' muscle at the front of the knee: The muscle tendon at the upper end of the body attaches to the large femur (upper leg) bone. The tendon at the lower end attaches to the lower leg bone or tibia, but at its upper end (just below the knee cap). The large quad muscles contract in length such that they bulk out at the front as a result; and this contraction or shortening of length of the muscle at the front of the knee joint causes the leg to be straightened out. Many tendons are found in and around joints and also assist in the stabilization of the joint.
What is the tendon that is most likely to be injured?
The Achilles tendon is most likely to be injured. It is the largest tendon in the body and connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, making it susceptible to overuse injuries, such as Achilles tendonitis or a rupture. Proper stretching and strengthening exercises can help prevent injuries to this tendon.
What is the muscle that attaches shoulder blade at one end and the radius bone at the other end?
There is no muscle that attaches at the shoulder blade and the radius. The radius is one of two bones in the forearm.
How do you cure a tendon?
Put in a tub of blood and guacamole. Another Answer: I have no idea what you mean by your question, "How do you cure a tendon." Every muscle in your body is attached to a bone or another muscle by a tendon. The treatment could vary depending on the particular tendon and the type of problem. In some cases for certain situations with particular tendons, a new treatment has worked wonders. If you say, "I have a headache," No one would know if it is sinus, tension, or a brain concussion. Each has a different treatment. Some tendons require surgery. In other cases, it may not be the tendon.
