Muscle attaches to tendons which then attach to bone. "attachments" occur as smooth transitions from muscle to tendon, so that there is no precise discontinuity between what is called muscle and what is called the tendon.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle is named for its attachments to the sternum (sterno-), clavicle (cleido-), and mastoid process of the temporal bone. This muscle plays a crucial role in neck movement and rotation, as well as flexing the neck. Its name reflects its points of origin and insertion, highlighting its anatomical connections.
ligaments hold the bone joints in place
Tendons are very flexible, and also very resistant to extension. If arm muscle tissue was directly attached to the bone, then extreme movements would very easily tear the tissues and damage the muscle.
The only real function of the fubula, the small long bone in the leg, is a site for muscle attachments. It does not provide any real support for the body.
The deltoid muscle attaches to the anterior and lateral acromion primarily by direct tendinous attachment. The muscle attaches to the dorsal side of the acromion by periosteal fiber attachment.
Cells comprise bone and muscle, they do not have bone and muscle in them.
The triceps brachii is a muscle with three attachments.
tendons:bones to muscle ligaments:bonr to bone
Ligament attaches bone to bone tendon attaches muscle to bone
A tendon connects muscle tissue to bone. tendonsTendons connect muscle to bone.
Muscle or Bone. A tendon connects a muscle and bone together but is not a muscle or bone.
