Is parathyroid hormone allows for the attachment of the tendons?

No, parathyroid hormone is not directly involved in allowing for the attachment of tendons. Parathyroid hormone primarily regulates calcium levels in the body by acting on the bones, kidneys, and intestines. Tendons attach muscles to bones and their attachment is governed by the structure and composition of the tendon itself.


Which muscular attachment is stretchable?

tendons


What is a A small knoblike process?

A small knoblike process is a rounded, protruding structure often found on surfaces of bones or on anatomical structures. It serves as a point of attachment for ligaments or tendons or as a site for articulation with other bones.


What is attachment of muscle to bone?

Legment and tendons


What term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?

The term that identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on is called the "insertion." This is typically the more movable attachment of the muscle, as opposed to the origin which is the less movable attachment site.

What is the depression on the surface of a bone called?

The depression on the surface of a bone is called a fossa. It is a shallow, basin-like structure that typically serves as an attachment site for muscles or tendons.


Does the skeleton provide attachment points for tendons of skeletal muscles?

Yes, the skeleton provides attachment points for tendons of skeletal muscles. Tendons are connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, allowing for movement and providing stability to the joints. The points where tendons attach to bones are called insertion points.


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 structure connects muscle to bone?

Tendons.
