Hamstrings
Muscles do not attach to other muscles. They only attach to bone.
Tendons attach muscle to bone Ligaments attach bone to bone
Tendons
Tendons attach muscle to bone, muscles do not attach to bone.
Quadriceps muscles are attached to the tibia via patella. Patella is a sesamoid bone. On the other the three of the four muscles are attached to the femur bone. Rectus femoris is attached to the hip bone as well. So it can act on hip bone also. Other way round it can take support of hip bone to act on tibia. Other three muscles are specially designed to act on tibia bone only. They are originated from femur bone.
Both the origin and insertion points attach muscles to bone. The muscles are moving the bones so they must be attached directly to bone.
Tendons attach to the periosteum of bone.
bones
I say tendons
muscles are attached to bone by fibrous connective tissue called tendons. Tendons attach the muscle to the bone by connecting and growing into the periosteum which surrounds the bone forming an anchor for the muscle.
Tendons attach bone to muscle bro.
Tendons attach muscles to bones. Don't confuse these with ligaments which attach bones to bones. just keep repeating to yourself: TENDONS = muscle to bone LIGAMENTS= bone to bone hahahahaha this a question from my year eight science test
