Why are there more indirect-that is tendinous-muscles attachments to bone then there are direct attachments?
Tendons are very versitile. They are made of collagenous tissue which is highly resistant to extension and also relatively flexible.
The main attachment sites of skeletal muscles are tendons. Tendons are the main attachment type for skeletal muscle to bone or cartilage.
Tendons are by far the most important tissue for attachment and are present wherever the point of insertion is distant or the muscle must exert its forces of contraction across a joint.

What bone has no muscle attachments?
the Talus
What is a depression or hollow space in a bone for attachments?

Why are there more indirect- that is tendinous- muscle attachments to bone than there are direct attachments?
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.
What bone is in direct contact with the first metatarsal?
The first metatarsal bone is in direct contact with the medial cuneiform bone in the foot.
Why are there more indirect-that is tendinous- muscle attachments that direct muscle attachments?
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.
How could you brake a bone?
You break a bone from direct or indirect trauma. Direct trauma is a blow or a fall and indirect trauma when you twist or turn and if the bone is diseased it can snap
What hold the joints to the bones?
ligaments hold the bone joints in place

What is an appendicular bone apex?
Tarsal

Does the hyoid bone have any solid bony attachments?
The hyoid bone does not articulate with any other bones in the body. It is suspended by ligaments and muscles and serves as a point of attachment for important muscles of the neck and tongue that are involved in swallowing and speech.
