What else can I help you with?
What is the muscle that is like the two-bellied muscle that lies over it this muscle is a plantar flexor?
soleus
Which muscle does not attach to the calcaneus?
The tibialis anterior muscle does not attach to the calcaneus. Instead, it originates from the lateral condyle of the tibia and the upper two-thirds of the tibial shaft, and it primarily inserts into the first metatarsal and the medial cuneiform bone. Other muscles, such as the gastrocnemius and soleus, do attach to the calcaneus via the Achilles tendon.
What two muscle insert on the calcaneun tendons?
Soleus and gastrocnemius
Do ligaments attach muscles to bone?
I do not think a ligament is a muscle. A ligament is what binds two bones together. That is basically what i know
What are the two joints soleus muscle cross?
It crosses the ankle joint and may be subtalor joint.
Does the soleus muscle cross over two joints?
A muscle that, from origin to insertion, crosses two joints, and thus can produce an action at both joints. Example: the "hamstrings" (semimembranosis and semintendinosis) cross the hip joint and the knee joint and act on both joints (extend at hip, flex at knee).
What muscle is located directly beneath the gastrocnemius and has similar functions to gastrocnemius?
The soleus muscle is located directly beneath the gastrocnemius and also functions in plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle joint. Both muscles work together to help propel the body forward during walking or running.
What two bones attach to the scapula?
The clavicle and the humerous.
What are the two movement of muscle?
Pulling and contracting is how a muscle moves the bones ....
What part of the muscle applies to the midsection of the muscle between the two attached sections?
The part of the muscle that applies to the midsection between the two attached sections is called the belly or gaster. This is the fleshy, central portion of the muscle that is typically responsible for contraction. The ends of the muscle, which attach to bones, are known as the origin and insertion, while the belly is the main area that generates force during muscle contraction.
What effect does a muscle sprain have on the bones in the joint?
A muscle sprain can tear a ligament which holds two bones together.
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.
