What are the things that join the bones?
a joint or a tendon or a ligament can join the bone with other bone or with a muscle
What do tendons link together?
Muscle FibersTendons connect muscles to bones. Not to be confused with ligaments, which connect bones to other bones.Tendons are fibrous connective tissue that are made of collagen. They most commonly connect muscles to bones. The strongest tendon in the human body is the Achilles tendon.
What is the difference between muscles and tendons?
Muscles contract to facilitate movement. Tendons attach muscles to bones. Ligaments attach bones to other bones.
What is the difference between an aponeurosis and a tendon?
They are basically the same thing......connecting muscles to bones but tendons are cord-like and aponeurosis is sheetlike.Describe the difference between a tendon and an aponeurosis
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.
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.
What are the tough connective bands that connect the bones?
ligaments
What are the differences between a tendon, a ligament, and a muscle in terms of their functions and structures?
Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing movement. Ligaments connect bones to other bones, providing stability. Muscles contract and relax to produce movement. Tendons and ligaments are tough and fibrous, while muscles are made of muscle fibers.
What is the difference between a tendon and a ligament?
Tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to other bones.
Can you live without a tendon?
Yes, you can live without a tendon as long as other muscles and tendons can compensate for the lost function. However, losing a crucial tendon can significantly impact mobility and functionality in the affected area.
How is the tendon attached to the foot in a frog?
In frogs, tendons are connected to the foot bones through a series of specialized structures called vincula. These vincula act as connectors between the tendons and bones, allowing for controlled movement of the foot during jumping and other activities.
