How are the muscle cells arranged with respect to one another?
Muscle fibers are grouped into fascicles, these fascicles form a muscle. The fascicles are arranged in 3 basic patterns. Parallel fascicles are arranged length wise in a parallel form. Circular fascicles are arranged in rings in a concentric pattern. Pennate fascicles are arranged in a feather pattern, with muscles arranged like a feather attached to a tendon along its length.
What are bundles of muscles fibers within a muscle called?
In forming whole muscles, individual muscle fibers are arranged in bundles, or fascicles, held together by fibrous connective tissue.Answer is Fascicles.
What is the name and location of three connective tissue layers of muscles?
There are only 3.The endomysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber (cell).The perimysium encircles a group of muscle fibers, forming a fascicle.The epimysium encircles all the fascicles to form a complete muscle.A tendon is a cordlike extension of the preceding three linings. It extends beyond the muscle tissue to connect the muscle to a bone or to other muscles.There are only 3.The endomysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber (cell).The perimysium encircles a group of muscle fibers, forming a fascicle.The epimysium encircles all the fascicles to form a complete muscle.A tendon is a cordlike extension of the preceding three linings.

What bones are conected to each other in your tendon muscle?
There is no such thing as the tendon muscle. Muscles contract to move joints tendons connect bone to help form joints.
The tendon attached to each heel bone is thicker and stronger than those attached to the wrist bone why is this important?
Because this tendon has to articulate the whole mass of the body, whereas in the wrist are several tendons and these only articulate the hand.
Why does the tendon on the bottom of your foot move or roll when you walk?
The tendon you are referring to is likely the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. When you walk, the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles contract, causing the Achilles tendon to stretch and recoil, enabling movement. This rolling motion helps propel you forward and assists in absorbing the impact of each step.
What tissue attaches bones and muscles to the bone?
Connective tissue is one which is rich in intercellular substance or interlacing processes with little tendency for the cells to come together in sheets or masses. Tendon and ligament are the connective tissue that connect bone to bone and muscles to bones.
What is the connective tissue layer that holds fascicles together?
The connective tissue layer that holds fascicles together is called the perimysium. It surrounds and protects each bundle of muscle fibers (fascicles) within a muscle.
What is the function of tendon?
Balls
What is an arrangement of fascicles in concentric rings called?
An arrangement of fascicles in concentric rings is called "lamellar" or "lamellar arrangement." This type of structure is typically found in certain types of connective tissue, such as bone, where the fascicles are organized into layers that contribute to the strength and resilience of the tissue. In this arrangement, each ring of fascicles acts to support and protect the underlying structures.
Why it is important that the tendon attached to each heel bone is thicker and stronger than those attached to the wrist bone?
B/c you feet has to carry all your weight when you're walking. Something which your hands rarely has to do.
Distinguish between tendons and ligament?
Tendons are tough cords of fibrous tissue that attach muscles to bones, facilitating movement and providing stability. Ligaments are also fibrous tissue, but they connect bones to other bones at joints, helping to support and stabilize the joints during movement. In summary, tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to other bones.
