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 a tendon also known as?
A tendon is also known as a sinew. It is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone and helps in the transmission of forces generated by muscle contraction to move the bones.
Which bone does the achilles tendon attach the calf muscles to?
The Achilles tendon attaches the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus).
What is the purpose of ligaments?
Ligaments are fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones in joints, providing stability and support. They help to limit excessive movement and prevent dislocation of joints during physical activity. Overall, ligaments play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the musculoskeletal system.
What muscle attached to a non moving bone?
The muscle that attaches to a non-moving bone is called the origin muscle. This muscle provides stability and support to the bone it is attached to, allowing other muscles to create movement around it. An example is the trapezius muscle, which originates from the base of the skull and attaches to the spine and shoulder blades.
A tendon attaches one bone to another?
No, a tendon attaches a muscle to bone. A ligament attaches a bone to another bone.
Is ligament the mart of a muscle that attches the muscle to bone?
Ligament attaches bone to bone tendon attaches muscle to bone
Attaches bone to bone?

What structure attaches muscle to bone?
Tendons. Ligaments hold your joints together.
A muscle causes a bone to move by?
contracting.
Why are the tendons important to the muscle's ability to make the body move?
they have cartilage so they an move. also, beause tendon attaches musle to bone
What attaches bone to bone as in the skull?
SuturesThe Coronal suture attaches the frontal with the parietal.The Squamous suture attaches the temporal with the parietal.The Lambdoid suture attaches the parietal with the occipital.
What attaches to muscle to bone?

Why connects a bones to another bone?
a ligament attaches bone to bone
What attaches bone to muscle?
Tendons... Ligaments attach bone to bone
What attaches tendon to bone?
Tendons attach to the periosteum of bone.
What causes a joint to move?
Joints don't have the ability to move. Joints are where two or more bones meet. One end of muscle attaches to the bone and the other end of the muscle stretches cross the joint and attaches to the bone on the other side of the joint. Muscles work in pairs, so that when one muscle contracts (the only movement that muscle can make), the other of the pair relaxes which causes movement at the joint when the bone is pulled by the muscle.
